Unknown round & flat lead item

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?

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.
 
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.
