A small cache of buttons at early 1800s spot in the woods, one really sticks out

It's lead maybe mixed with something else?. Has 2 fish on it. Really cool. I guess it's a button, all these were found within 2 feet of each other

Wow. Really unique. I have no clue..

A Button Spill? LOL. Cool finds. Can't imagine why there would be so many buttons in one place unless it used to be an old clothes line? Strange.

It looks like a place on the back where a shank was, but not sure, doesn't seem to me a cap

it does kind of look like a tiny plate, but its lead, not pewter

Ironic I have a bag of gold fish on my desk and they resemble your weird button fish with an uncanny similarity ... holee mackerel !

Congratualtions on the Relic hunt! The fish relic is very interesting.

I'm with la. Fur trade, it's a toy plate or skillet. Here's another that was posted here before.
