Getting prepared for a early hunt and while waiting I found some things!!

[Truth]

As I wait for sunrise and having my coffee I went looking through my trash pouch from yesterday and found these. One has gold guilt with what looks like a wreath around a nipple. Not sure what’s it made of but it was brittle enough to break off on the edges at some time. It’s solid now not fragile but any idea of what it’s made of and what it is? Lead button with gold guilt ?

This looked like lead when I dug it, but I just rubbed on it and it looks copper underneath. Any ideas?

Nice recovery on the early pewter button, have no idea on the second item, part of a copper jacket bullet.
