Small gold thing???

Dug this tiny little guy up this weekend around 4 inches down. It's pretty cool looking but have no clue what it is. Any ideas? Thanks for looking!

Got me stumped.

I'm guessing that it is (part of) a decorative body stud.

Edit: on that note; is the 'post' thingy a magnet?

No, the post doesn't appear to be magnetic. I wonder about the two "wings" on the outside of the piece as well.

Maybe part of a tie tack?
