Thought this was plated but is actually a thin layer of silver back filled with lead or pewter. The heart is sterling the 925 is almost rubbed off. The lead button is shaped like a rev war period button and is a bit smaller then a half dollar in diameter but is destroyed so no idea what was on it. The other lead thing looks sort of like a baggage seal but only has cross on it. Slow but productive day in Delaware with PA digger.
