Lead Caps?

[DenDiggz]

I?ve been finding quite a few of these recently near old colonial homesites.
Any ideas what they could be? They are small in size no bigger than 3/8” round.

I?ve found a handful of those all in the same spot and it was across from 1800?s shotgun style houses in Pensacola.

Nail heads

They look like caps that went on roofing nails. When installing a metal roof, you would pound the nail down and the lead would seal it against rain.
