[bootybay]

I think ( not sure) that I found another rosette..only this ones totally different..it looks like a horse's head on it but the snout is missing.. whats your opinion..also that back part was super rusted and doesn't have that loopy thingy?

Booty,
I'm crossing my legs for you too. I see a horse image too.
By the way, can you please lose those rings in a park close to me so I can find them? Very nice.

I thought the same thing about it looking more like a cow than a horse. It looks like it's wearing a yolk so maybe it's an Ox? I do think it's a rosette. The loop is typically made of iron so it's not surprising that it has completely deteriorated.

WHATEVER IT IS , ITS A REALLY COOL FIND...

Rosette or horse boss as we Brits call them. Also known as horse furniture.

No idea on date as I have never seen this type. But being a lead-alloy filled back I would say 1850-1900 (this is my best GUESS).

WELL DONE..

Theres more, listern out for the iffy signals. Discrim. low & Sensitivity high & clear everything, it will be worth the effort.
