Scale weight, buttons, etc.

Got out for a couple of hours today to a colonial site that I have been to several times in the past but it keep on giving up some decent finds. It just takes a lot more work to find them. My favorite finds for the day are a scale weight that says 1 OZ on it with AE stamped in the middle. Does anyone have any information on this? Also dug a piece that could be a button, cuff link or ladies pendant. It is a purple stone or glass in a small brass bezel (that promptly fell off after digging). I can't see any signs of a broken shank or loop for attachment to a chain so I am at a loss as to its purpose. The tombac buttons clean up like they are brand new - amazing after spending 200+ years in the ground.

Thanks Abe, I've slack about posting my finds on the rare occasion that I can get away from work to detect. I'm sure that would be different if I had the amazing hunts that you have had recently. It's about time that we see more finds from you.

Thanks for the ID. It is definitely the right size to be a wax seal but since it doesn't have anything engraved in it I didn't recognize it as such. A wax seal fob is high on my bucket list.
