Only 4 out of 5 pieces

My dad has been after me for awhile to post this, trying to get ideas on what it might be. Finally had the time... This was found over the course of about 2 years, found the "2" first, then two pieces close together one time, the other piece months later. The odd looking piece that has nothing legible on it appears to be the same material, which may be lead, but I don't know for sure. I do remember the #2 piece ringing a straight 89 all the way to the top on DFX screen. So I'm wondering if the odd piece with rim is related somehow to the others? Anyway, found in a field with items dating from 1950s clear back to possible 1700s (spinning fob seal). Let me know what you think, and thanks!
Should also clarify the #s on item- large 78, small at bottom 866, letters "PITTS"

Nope. Just another whatsit.

Now that Taz has found another dated PITTS tag, we've got to figure out what type of tag would be:
#1 Dated with the year
#2 Numbered
#3 Attached with screws/nails
#4 Both having the word PITTS and both having the #2

I have read during the Civil War there were tags nailed to houses when the owners paid their property taxes.
