Found these today after a 3 hour hunt at an out of town location, not showing all the clad a bullets.
A bit disappointed to see someone has been there with a dam huge spade and can still easy lift the plugs..no need for it who ever you are.
if anyone can help with the shiny button and what looks like a part lead part copper round thingy.

Rotate the button 180° and it looks like a standing figure, facing left.

Although that would invert the "fern leaf" which isn't normal orientation....


Any chance of a better image (with scale) ?

Found out its an 1800s horse bridal rosette.
Thin layer of copper or brass set in lead.
