Iron Relic ID

[stitchlips]

I have been hunting an older site that has been producing a lot of Civil War bullets both dropped and fired. I found these two interesting pieces of iron in the same general area. One of them is some type of handle, but to what. The other I think may be a horse collar, but did they make them out of iron? Thanks in advance!

Here is a look at the bottom of the handle thing.
