I haven't found another item like this . I dug it a foot or two away from the shoe buckle. Found the other typical stuff flat buttons, lantern light parts, and of course the occasional large cent. If you found something similar or have any thoughts let's here them. HH Dutch

Hey Dutch,
Found something similar to your whatzit. Turns out best I could find that it is part of horse tack for reins. Not much of a horse person, just what I was told from a farmer. Great finds though! Thanks for posting.

I believe the reins passed through it , but it is part of a wagon/carriage/buggy

Looks like a sword hanger.

It's part of an old horse gag bit. The coin is a Cornet style large cent. Mid 1700's shoe buckle.
