Logging camp artifact

[highnam]

I found this piece in a 1912 railroad logging camp, it was found near a family house that burned down....any help would be appreciated

For some reason it looks like something that a farm would use years ago

Maybe something from an old wagon.

Definitely has a real medieval chastity belt vibe to it.

Thank you for the suggestions...I agree that it looks farm related, it also could be from a wagon/equipment.
Racking my brain for a couple years on this piece, would love to know what is was associated with.

It looks like the type of equipment that farmers use to plow there fields with they used a horse for that. The Amish still it that way

Give it time these guys will find out what you have.

I found another piece in the logging camp that looks like it belongs to the first item I posted, maybe this piece will help.
Thanks!

I’m gonna go with plow frame from the 1800’s with the wood all rotted away. Close your eyes and become the wood, uh huh, now you see it , dontcha!!

I was thinking this was part of a wagon or carriage suspension for sure.
