✅ SOLVED Small discs found in backyard

[BluffHunter]

So I have no idea on these, my thoughts are maybe something to do with bottle stoppers, not sure why I think that. It appears that on the back a piece of wire was attached at one time. one of them says St. Louis MO and I can't read the other one, they are kind of heavy and I thought they were lead maybe but not sure on that either. The reason I am curious is that I found them behind my house where there is a lot of broken glass and some type of broken pieces of pottery or ceramic, the stuff covers a pretty large area and was probably a trash pile but I believe it is old so I have been digging from time to time to see what I can find. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

It's interesting how this same technology has been in use for so long. Cant wait to get out there and dig some more. Thanks for all the responses and HH.
