I agree with #4 they are definitely hog rings. You need a special tool that they fit into to clamp them into the hogs nose. Kind of like the rockers of today
Hog nose rings. The rings are put in the nose of a hog to keep it from rooting in the soil. When I was a kid, my mother made these in a hog ring factory in Keokuk, Iowa. You can still buy these in a farm supply store.
These are copper hog rings, you put them in the hog`s nose to keep them fron rooting under things, usually the fence. I`ve also used them as ties to join two pieces of fencing together.
