🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Any ideas on the age of these buttons?

I found these two buttons at a permission yesterday. Does anyone have any ideas as to how old they are? The house dates to the early 1900’s but I suspect the property might have been in use for much longer.
Thanks in advance.

You’re definitely on an old spot, the button with the two holes is a blowhole button, early to mid 1700s

Diggerkid2003 nailed it. The ones with the two holes in the back are commonly found on French and Indian War sites. Some were used later, but the tombac button of the 1770's generally replaced them.

Yes, & the other one is not a button but an 18th C horse Harness Mount.
