I'm not going to prolong this one. I was told they are fasteners for joining leather belting but I never saw them used and can't see how they can work. Try this one....

Is it one of those things that you can put under furniture legs to stop indents on carpet etc., Doesn't look quite big enough or as if it has been used.

Can't see if it has a hole at the top. If so it could be a pocket watch protective case.

If you unwrap them do you get a chocolate....

Looks like something that Time Team would dig up, be interesting to know where they were found and exactly how old they are.
