Default Unidentifiable coin, and other cellar hole finds

Went to the cellar hole in my back woods today and dug out some more goodies. I could use some help identifying some of them, especially this coin.

I gave it a good wash and a little olive oil, but can barely make out anything, It looks like there's some type of markings circling around the hole on one side. Any help would be appreciated.







Got an interesting candlestick holder in decent condition. Too bad it's not silver



No idea on this one...



Love this...



And my second headstamp, Winchester Repeater No. 12, which will go nicely with my No. 10



Couple more various objects as well, but these were my favorites.

Thanks for looking!

I'm no expert and it appears obvious the age of that coin looking object. But I don't think its a coin. Not an American currency anyways. That square hole looks deliberate and looks to be a washer from an old machine. I'm thinking iron. Nontheless....nice finds though.

I considered that as well but it shows up as a dime. Also I swear there are very slight markings on one side, almost like wheat going around the center.. maybe ive been staring at it too long

it may be a foreign coin. I have a collection of coins inmy photo album that you can view. Some coins have holes and some in various shapes. I think acountry in africa ues iron or brass to mint their coins and they have holes...check them out andmaybe you can get a idea of what you got.

Interesting thanks, you could definitely be right, or maybe it is just some type of washer Either way, im going back to that spot another day, lot of ground to cover.

Could it be a lantern adjuster. The part you would have turned to bring the wick up for more light

looks like large cent or 2 cent .... 2nd pic you can see the laurel around the edges. Sometimes people made holes for keepsake and or a wallet...(so i was told by a coin dealer)
