Horsing around today

[Groundhogg]

I was able to get back out to the farm today for a few hours before the rain set in. I dug a handful of '60s/'70s clad, some modern shell casings and a spent round. I also pulled some cool horse tackle. I haven't done any research on them yet so if y'all have any info please share. I'm curious what era they come from since there has been some Civil War activity on the property. Thanks for looking!

The stirrup you should be able to date.
The snaffle bit looks common and similar to those in use today yet.
Not sure if the ring was on a cinch. Looks big enough to have been though.

Congrats!

Good job! Very nice stirrup. I’m guessing the chunk of die cast car was from late 40s to early 50s.
