Need Help! How Old Is This?

[olekyground]

Hey friends... I went out backmagain today for about an hour or so. Wasn't finding much. some new pennies and junk iron when I hit something on the detector that made that awful sound when you get too much iron. I dug it up and pulled this out! I am like 99 percent sure it is a very old maybe early 1800's candle holder. If you could help me with the date I would be forever thankful. It looks like the candle would fit just right in the metal round ring as shown below.. I dont know for sure. thanks for loo king!!

I'm no expert but it looks like a candle holder to me. Do you know what that ring-shaped object in the picture is? I have found quite a few of them.
