Half Dime?

[kg6yll]

Looking for any info on these items. The First one says 1 KREUTZER 1812 and is the size of a U.S Quarter. I think it is copper and is about 1/16 of an inch thick. The Second item is some type of a cap or plug made of lead? It has an eagle with a jagged type arrow in its claws. The Third item is an 1845 Half Dime ( I can figure this one out). All items were dug within a hundred feet of each other at an old mining camp in California. Please comment if you have any ideas!

The second item with the Eagle on it is a lead cap that came on a gunpowder can.
Nice finds.

After doing some research I think your right. I'm waiting for a book on powder cans I ordered to come in.
Thanks for the info.
