Anyone recognize this Saint...medallion? Update Mystery solved

[Coinstar magnet]

A guy at my local stop and shop found this medallion of a saint and sent a couple photos to me...the pics are not very clear but I thought I'd put it out there and see if anyone recognized the saint...looks like it may be silver....any help is welcome. I'll see if I can get a more detailed Pic. Thanks@ update....it looks to be a Benedictine protection medallion.

Yes, Saint Benedict (protection) Medallion; suspect Mexican pewter.
The cross side has CSPB initials in the circles and NDSMD reading across one crossbar with the other crossbar reading CSDML

You'll often find them buried or placed in and around houses with a history of negative hauntings. I know a metal detectorists that found one buried at the four corners of his yard. I asked him if his house was haunted and he said "Yes! How did you know!".

I did not know that...I've heard that home owners in the 1600's would wrap twigs or put nails in bottles along with urine inside their walls to ward off bad spirits....
