I’m just curious to see if anyone has any idea what these items are? They certainly aren’t the Indian Head cents I was hoping they were going to be! I found all three today while hunting a former school site...they were all dug one after the other within about a 15’x15’ area, and each was relatively deep (7-8”). The two smaller ones are virtually identical, with a smooth, finished front that appears to be made of brass (each rung up like brass, and a small scrape with a file on the outer covering revealed a golden color). The clips on the back seem to be holding an oval ring in place that’s made of a different type of metal. The larger one is obviously more damaged, but I’m pretty sure it’s just a slightly bigger version of the other two - it has the remains of a similar ring of metal still attached.
After finding the first one, I was only mildly curious - but by the time I dug out the third, I was dying to know...”What the heck are these things?!?! Plus they look familiar - I’m pretty sure I’ve dug others like it in the past.
Best I can guess is maybe some sort of electrical component? Any ideas are welcome!
Edit: Just had a brainstorm and checked...they aren’t magnetic in any way
