Piece of pewter with single hole. Piece of lead.

The piece of lead? I have found a few of these over the last couple of years. Mostly found in Victorian/colonial sites. There's a hole on the bottom side and diagonal lines around the whole item. It's about 1/2" in diameter and 1/2" tall

The lead thingy is a 20th century rifled shotgun slug, like discussed here: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/355147-civil-war-slug.html

The one with the hole could be a seal, like for a roofing nail etc. The other looks like a shotgun slug. Tony
