22 round disks found in Hole on disused colonial Road

[Wild Colonial Boy]

I found the copper disks each 3/8' or 6mm and 1/16 thick

20 of them came from same hole on a colonial trackway through woods /old colonial farm fields, and Two in the field next to it

what is interesting is each have been cut off something as shaft has cut marks and burr on one edge
, the outer rim is grooved like a dial or something

anybody know these this are?

Are there possibly any markings on the flat faces of them? In that first picture I’d swear the one about in the middle has a letter D indented in it.

Probably wrong but they are similar to the adjustment knob for a Peep or Tang Sight.
