I've found those to at civil war sites. Always thought they were some kinda percussion cap. But I don't think so.

Looks like lead heads from a roofing nail.

Tennessee is correct, they are indeed "used" roofing nail lead caps. Their interior shows the imprint of the steel nail's crosshatched head. They've been in use for over a century, and are still being sold today.

I had a feeling it was that!
