May be indications of a trash pit, depending on how close together you found them. if you found them all within 10 feet of each other, i would dig test holes 12-20 inches deep and stick the detector in the holes and see if you hit any more signals or see any glass/pottery, also if you dig a test hole and get iron signals deep, i would dig the hole out... chances are a trash pit or cellar hole or something in that nature may be lurking in that spot...

Most are Livery buttons. Top right is British Artillery. I'd keep digging!
It's strange they are all together, and what makes the most sense to me is it was a collection when lost.

Agreed most a circa mid 19th C Livery Buttons (x8). The top right is late 19th C Artillery.
1 Hunts Button (boars head?) 19th C.
1 patterned late 19th C (bottom right).
The top left stands out to me, do you have a close up? Its a crown but is there any writing?

Look up Livery buttons, I think some of the buttons or all of them are from that time period, nice finds.

Can you post photos of the back sides of the buttons so the makers marks can be seen?
