Shield pin?

[Red Dirt Digger]

I found this detecting a yard where I've found some nice old silver coins. I think I can make out a horse and rider. I know it's in bad shape, but I'm curious if anyone out there knows what this is.

Most people say they are "saddle shields". A decoration usually held on by two studs on the back.

I see the four horsemen riding into my neighborhood. No wait, it is an elephant with a short drunk and two ivory tusks....odd looking ears.
