These 3 coins have been found on our property over a few years. I would appreciate it if anyone can help me ID them. Thank you in advance for your help.

This one in thin, about the size of a quarter, 1766:

This one is tiny. Slightly bigger than a shirt button.

This one is slightly larger than a quarter, but is much heavier. I'd like to clean this so I can see it better, but I was afraid to since I don't know what metal it is made of, 1738

Second coin may be a Umayyad Caliphate 'fals'.
Compare to the reverse side of this coin:

Rotate 180 degrees on either coins reverse image to see the similarity.
While the obverses don't match, I believe the reserves do.
Don.....
Edit: Or do a "180" on the left image here and see the similarity:

Actually it's a Halfpenny, and probably a cast counterfeit.

That could be it! I see the similarity. How strange it is to find 3 different coins from 3 different countries on the same property.
