They look to me like something that was in a fire at first sight.

What ARE these things? Some are 99p.cent iron but in some places looks like it had thin thin layers of gold and silver. They weigh 70 to 90 gms. I think i see Greek or Hebrew letters sometimes. They seem to bear images of regents (heads adorned with crowns or elaborate headdress) heere without the layer of aluminum paper they reveal what looks like protrudingcarved stones. Some had two parts and looked like seals. 20161017_215516.jpg [ATTACH=C

I think these may have been in the 1800's light house fire during a Seminole burning of the lighthouse out there in Cape Florida. ? They may be unrecognizable now.

Saying theres images there is a real stretch for me, they actually look like heavy punchouts from a punch press, they used them for ballast in counterweights on cranes and such, probably in ships as well.
