Welcome to the site....

Can you give us some more info to go on?

Where were they found (roughly)? Any particular reason you believe they are horse related?

Hello, found in the Scottish borders in ploughed field near a fort. this land has been detected for years, I only started detecting 6months ago hoping there is still some good stuff to be found 🙏🏻

Top Pic looks like the back of a two piece button with missing shank......second Pic looks like the square head from a roofing simplex nail for nailing felt paper down. Are you sure they are lead.....

No idea what they are, but to me they're very cool finds...

There's quite a few folks here from across the pond, and hopefully one of them will chime in, as they have much more experience with that type of artifact

Welcome Reiver. I'm a little down the road from you in Lancashire.
I too am currently focusing on land adjacent to a Roman fort that has been hunted over the decades but is still producing. It's also infested with buttons from all ages. Yesterday I found what could be the oldest button yet (no I'm not an avid collector but this one was a decent find for a button. Yt's medieval and lead and not unlike your first pic really. Not being an expert on these things but having found countless of them making them from lead doesn't seem to have been a thing in once into the 18th century so im hazardong a guess they are all medieval and post medieval. But there are far better qualified people here to speak on these matters than a relative novice like myself.
Oh and if your fort is anyrhing like mine, yes the yellow stuff is still there 😉
Out of interest, and I'm not asking for a postcode here, which part of the borders are you at?
Im not teying to cadge on to you but its an area rich in history absolutely full of earthworks, hillforts etc. Fascinating place really particularly around Gallashiels and the Catrail.

Hello, yes I love finding buttons I've found many including military, Also some bullets badge caps etc. coinage found few Victoria's and George's. No silver/ gold yet..they could be long gone 😢
Have you been to Galashiels before? 😉

The square piece might be an old coin weight or something of that nature.

Welcome to TNet and the hobby! The first thing I thought of looking at the last artifact is part of a hair brush handle. Crazy huh? Please post some more pictures of it from different angles (reverse, side) and the dimensions.

Not sure about the area where you are detecting, but where I live nearly every place has been detected at least once before. Despite this, in the past 7 years I've donated 23 educational display cases to a local historical society filled with over 150 artifacts that others left for me to find. Sure, there are fewer things to find, however, using a capable detector, practicing a good swing, going over the same area in multiple directions & being patient will often reward you with historical artifacts. Even soil conditions (moisture, etc.) are a factor. Best of success!
