Unknown round & flat lead item

[kpmoose]

I have open permission to hunt an old 153 acre farm (1775 home still on site). I hit it yesterday and didn't get too much in the line of keepers. I hunted mostly right around the house. Hoping the many fields will be more productive on future hunts. I found this lead item about 9" deep at the front of the house. It was folded over on itself, but I was able to straighten it somewhat. Any thoughts on what it may be?

Oh Yeah. Happy Easter everyone.

I think it may be a hem weight for a long tailed coat. That would make it the same period as the house.

I was thinking it might be a hem weight myself ???

Not a bad guess on the hem weight. Without the hole I usually guess a gaming piece, but with the hole it could be sewn in on a dress or light jacket.

Thanks for the id guys. Makes sense to me now.

too bad there wasn't more work done on it , it could have been a hem weight , poker chip , the beginning of a whizzer (child's toy) or even a crude washer.

The hem weight idea makes sense to me as well. Also could be a drapery weight. No mark or design, small hole for stitching...seems plausible.
