rings, cavalry buckle, & a what is it

Hey all. Haven't posted in a while but I got out to a local park this week and was able to squeeze out three rings. One is Sterling, one is a 10K weeding band, and the other is junk made in Hong Kong. Pictured with the rings is a Playboy necklace and a nickel that someone made into a religious medallion.
The second hunt was in the vicinity of a Fort which yielded the buckle. (any help narrowing down exactly what kind of buckle would be most appreciated) and the what is it which looks like a long finger missing a fingernail. :laughing7:

Thanks for looking and keep swinging. :icon_thumleft:

The iron buckle is just an equipment or harness buckle used for many years before during, and way after the CW and Indian Wars. The brass "finger" is a very good find as it's a tent rope tensioner used so the soldiers could tighten and adjust ropes on their tents. HH, Quindy.
