Please could anyone help me with the recognition of this shield, it’s meaning or what it may stand for?

It has winding gear and a crossed pick and spade in one quarter, so maybe taken in a mining area.

The quadrant above has some sort of military connotation and the one adjacent suggests camping, in a bell tent, by the sea at sunset. Could it have been made up for some sort of communal holiday?

What country are we talking about? USA?

Thanks for your help.
I’m thinking the photo was around 1950’s and possibly South Wales Uk
