Found in a forest area

Tooling around back in the woods. Came across these. All hand forged. Not sure what the piece underneath the horse shoe is.

NICE oar locks in a forest, the only thing I find is DEER TICKS

It dosn't look like an oar lock to me. It looks to be threaded at the base. Maybe a pipe stand off or holder of some sort.

Well, the first thing I thought of was some kind of steady rest for a long gun. If setting up an listening outpost, ambush,
guard post, etc... screw it into a timber or log being used for cover and then lay the barrel into it. It would be a great "monopod" for that purpose. I don't know anything about the history associate with weapons and tactics of that time, but that was my thought.

Hi, Could be a rein guide on an old horse drawn wagon and the pieces of curved steel look like leaf springs for the seat or wheels Paul
