Crazy find today. Modern change but then there were a few relics and these were all buttons.
One is a cuff button and another is a lead disk that has a iron shank passed though it.
The third button is pewter and was aptly identified by a Treasurenet contributor as a War of 1812 general service button; this is my oldest military button.
Follow-up on this post is necessary due to recent information on the "U S" piece. Turns out it is NOT a button, so this post is more aptly titled "2 buttons and a US horse harness rosette."
