Horse hardware maybe - solved - Civilian Rosettes

[Kevo_DFX]

I think these are the same animal but different species. Found em' on a farm in SW PA that dates back to the 1860's. I think the front is tin or brass, I'm leaning towards brass and the backs are lead filled. Both are the same size, a little bigger than a half-dollar:

Thanks for looking,

Kevo

Awesome! What the heck is a civilian rosette? I'm new to this relic stuff, I'm a coinshooter at heart.

Hard to say really, but from the mid 1800's to the very early 1900's would be my guess on those.
