Look like lead bag seals. They will probably have a small rusty spot on the edge. They were a security device to keep people from stealing grain, beans, or whatever was in the bag. The bag was closed with a wire tie which was crimped with a lead seal which had the company name, logo, etc on it.

If thats what yours are, they really good looking condition. A lot of the ones I dig are smashed, scraped, or damaged in some way.

Yeah, I was looking for sign of wire or something, nothing they look like a hammer lead coin-all are somewhat diff thickness and shape-..but same pattern--they are always smashed or scraped.

I was wondering the same for this one!...while were talking about them.This Soo line Seal looks to have a wire remnant-

 

[DigginYella]

And they all have 11 dots around it!just odd?!

My guess(s)...
1. An old lead "marker"... used in games and cards ?
2. Lead seal... that has not been used... a two part.
