I have tried a lot of different things, even miratic acid. that only made it look black and grey. The metal I'm trying to rust is wine barrel rings.

I would try sanding a little and rubbing with lemon.
Leave it out for the sun to hit it. Keep hosing it down.
Hello Rosemary; I would spray it with Vinegar and leave in the sun.
If that does not work to your satisfaction, Please go to Ace Hardware and Home Depot. There are products made that will do this.
I hope that this helps you!! Take Care!
I think this is the proper answer,http://homeguides.sfgate.com/rust-metal-items-aged-look-83095.html
Mix vinegar, peroxide & salt into an old bucket add tin & let set for a couple of days. When you take it out it will be black. Let set in sun for a day and it will be rusted. I don't really know the measurements I just pour everything together. I have done this several times. Hope this helps.
