Can anyone date these buttons??

I found these buttons in 2001 at a old home in Bucks county. The home was built in the late 1700's. The buttons are the size of a half dollar. I can't find any markings on them. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys. I have the same thoughts. I have many buttons but none like these.

Montana Jim- Can you take a look at these?

Usually big buttons 28mm and larger will be from the mid to late 1700's in our part of the country (Northeast). A few years ago, I cleaned up most of mine and found that over 90% of them have decoration on them, a lot seemed plain until I thoroughly removed all the dirt I could.

Here is a sampling of some of my "big buttons"
