Small thimble like? Any ideas?

I found these on an old site which is a Civil war battle ground as well. I have found both of these at the same site. Any ideas what they could be?

Maybe wire splice connectors.

Maybe wire splice connectors.

I don't know, it does look like they were crimped onto something. This site is over 200 years old and everything i have found has been from the 1700's - late 1800's so i was thinking it had to be that old but it might be newer than that.

If they didn't have the flange, I would say strap ends.

Take a look at some pictures of the US M1928 Haversack. The strap ends are similar to yours.

CW battlefields were used for military training for decades before they became land protected by the US government.

They look like a seal that went on a electric meter

They remind me of twist locks but I haven't found a match yet.
