✅ SOLVED Coin sized heavy metal discs

[cdsieg]

I think these are Iron or Lead disc, they rang with the lovely sound of "You have found another nail..." LOL but they came through on program 3 on my x-terra 705 so I dug them up. They were all in the same area. I have no idea what they are or what they were used for. Have you ever seen these before?

The copper or brass looking things, if you have any thoughts please share, I know I found those shoe clip looking things in the past and I can search my past posts for the answer, the cone like thing I think might be from a flashlight bulb, but I am not sure.







I am digging in the woods in East Texas (12 Miles of mostly woods) I am in Franklin County Texas on a private ranch. There was one homestead here in the early 1900's. I was told that there may have been a moonshine operation in a specific area here, but after 6 months of detecting, I see no proof of that. I found an area where I believe I have found a second and even a third homestead, but I can only base that on my findings. I only dig hear in the winter months, then I boot out the renters and go back to Wisconsin!

The oval thing is a tent or tarp grommet.

Those discs, with the squared edges, sure look like the planchets out of electrical boxes, meter bases, fuse boxes, etc.

That was my husbands first guess, but he said the non flat side didn't look right, looks like it was cut or pounded, he thought those would be smooth on both sides. He doesn't know anything about antique or old things though, so I would trust the answers I find on here before his! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I have the patent for those oval fasteners but who knows what I filed it under.

If I could find half of the things I know I have I'd be pretty darn content! I still can't find the night crawlers I took out of the refrig. two days ago; it really put a damper on going fishing! All I can do now is wait until they stink bad enough to find them!

I put night crawlers in the fridge and the electric went out. They all crawled out of the box. They were crawling everywhere and they left trails. .
