🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Oddballs and oddities

[Joe-Dirt]

I hav3 a few things I’d like to get everyone’s opinion on. I’ve posted a couple of the on “ID me” on Facebook but most folks on that page just take WAG’s and don’t have the depth of knowledge I find here…. Anywho, I’ll post several pictures of each item and I’ll let you know what I think they are.
1) small copper ring I found flattened at a revolutionary war militia camp
2)small pie of silver, I see a Cobb, I also see part of a coin, but I also see a rabbit waterskiing
3) toy lead horse, I’m looking for a time frame for age, it was found at a 1730’s house in Connecticut
4) cast lead button with sprue, I argued with a guy for a few hours, he insisted it was a cuff link
5) decorative lead thing, found on the now defunct Boston road
Anyway, let me know your thoughts.
Thank you

The silver half I'm thinking it part of a English hammered silver.
Reason is on the second photo there appears to be an inner circle.

As some of these are showing.

Candy coated popcorn peanuts and a prize. That's what you get in Cracker Jacks.👍

And some lead😳

I think it was high grade pot metal which had a low melting point, which I was able to melt on my mother's gas stove. Much better than the later plastic crap.

Well then my thought isn't going stick to the wall.
The hammered silvers are thin.
Like a Trime.

No, south central Massachusetts at a rev war muster field we call powerhouse hill in one of the older towns

I had several “ experts” try to tell me it was a cuff link and I was 95% sure it was a button with sprue.
Thanks Cru!!!
