Saddle sheild looked to have a silver wash. Dont know if it was military or not im thinking it was

Those are called bridles..
Even that find you called a decorative tag..
They were attached to a horses saddle..
I find lots of those and you got yourself a nice colonial site to hunt..

Not doubting and it is likely but what is your resource? The sheild could certainly be a rosette!

I always thought rosettes were round?

Ive found them in these shapes rounds, teardrops, hearts, squares fancy and plain.
Im thinking it may just be due to how heavy it is and its relative size

No expert though.... Thanks for looking johnnyblaze!! Happy New Year!

 

[johnnyblaze]

If you look up horse rosettes..
All the pictures are round that i have found..
Im no expert either...
Happy new year

The piece on the bot is for a bucket handle as for the other two not sure but i think to small for a saddle shield and to thick but they are part of something like a decorative piece on a chair or table leg cause of the fact its curved and small with iron attachments

Nice relics. Congrats.
Those shield pieces and decorative piece pop up here on Tnet now and then. They always seem to be a mystery. Here is a post on the sheild piece:
