Found these in fayette county GA

[Beavertail]

I found these three pieces within 20 yards of one another. They seem to be copper but there are no marking that I can see. They have heavy patina so they have been there for a fair amount of time. Was just wondering if anyone could help me figure out what these are.

The top two look like buttons the bottom one I'm not sure Dig until your arm falls off

Can you tell us what type site you were hunting? Do they have any weight to them for their size?There looks to be a chip off the edge of the bottom piece and it looks like lead showing. They could be buttons or bale seals or even modern electrical box knockouts. It's hard to tell from just the pictures.

Where I've been hinting Is a homesite from early 1800's I've found tons of coins buckles and bullets. No modern stuff really. Nothing coin wise newer than 1930s

They are copper I'm sure

I have no idea other than what recondigger said. Possibly buttons but I don't know.

How thick or thin are they compared to the dime? From looking at the shadow they look some what thicker.

The pictures are not clear - but the two up top look to be cast brass buttons (they have heavy ground action or corosion) the one on the bottom looks to be a piece of melted lead or led/zinc mixture. Scratch it with a knife and see what color is underneath. The buttons were most likely civilian flats, and by the thickness and (what appears to have been an attachment for the loop) early 1800s - though that is just speculation as they are again unclear in the picture and no backmark present (though the one at the top right appears to have had one - most likely an old english BEST PLATED

They are about twice as thick as the dime.

They are about twice as thick as the dime.

early 1800s buttons (1820a-1840s) had thick flat buttons, especially the ones with the type of backmark yours look to have. Some as thick as a nickel.
