Small shield - horse related?

[Bramblefind]

I really like this little thing I found today and I think someone here will know just what it is.

My detector puts it in the high bottle cap range.

Thanks!

Hey Bramble, I'm thinking it's a saddle shield. What metal is the actual shield? Is it painted black on the front? Neat find, Breezie

Thanks Breezie I'm not exactly sure what kind of metal it is. My limited knowledge of these kind of things guesses that it is brass and plated with another kind of metal - not painted- the plate almost looks like the color and feels like the tombac button I found at this site.

Is that possible? Were things ever plated with tombac?

Here is one almost the same A heart-shaped mount, probably from harness, with a single steel attachment point at the centre.

aha! Very good - thank you

UKDFD are good at giving references when they exsist, notice none given & 'probably from harness'.
So yes it could probably be one or probably be a furniture

You are quite willing to use the UKFD when it suites your own needs as you are such a expert on everything, why not start your own website following me around trying to discredit everything I say, is just making you look the fool that you are

you seem unable to debate anything without lowering the tone. The UKDFD is a great site & I hold their IDing in high regard & yes I do use them to suit my own opinions when they use source material (that I not only own) but trust, bearing in mind many books have errors. You make me crack up when you think I'm following you, I have posted against hundreds of posts (have a look at my history), your the only one thinking I'm following them. Grow up & take a reality check.

Yes I have seen many of your replys they usually consist of ..Tag, Bump, or and it's obvious that you are following me, because you keep quoting my posts with negatives
