Those are referred to as "saddle shields". They were used to adorn leather saddles back in the day. Nice finds.

Thats some nice history any markings on the sheild. Looks like that spot may have some family history good hunt. Stay safe Tommy

Great looking saddle shield Hvactech!
Based on your finds, I'd say you're on a site with some serious age!
