Got a couple strange finds need help to I.D

I found these two neat items lately.

The round thing in the center of the dime and penny is copper it was 6 inches deep in a old 1950 farm field turned into a school yard in early fifties. It is almost if not exactly the same diameter as the dime. It is slightly thinner than the dime. Obviously it is severely corroded but I think I can make out some letters so I thought it might be some kind of coin.
The other Item was found really deep about 8 inches. It had a high penny signal. Looks to me like it would be hung on the wall to hold something. What's strange is it has absolutely no corrosion, no rust, no green crust. What kind of metal could that be? It's not lite , it is heavy for its size but not lead, it's litter than lead and not soft. When I scratch it it is very tough and hard. It barely scratches.

The plate since it has a flower on it might on been used for dish towels or potholders perhaps.

Got an update , the copper thing after soaking in vinager for about 30 hours turned out to be a clad dime. Man what kind of soil was I digging in. I think I better wear a hazmat suit next time.

Thanks Dave for the input. I'm thinking that also but it sure is fancy for a rag holder. I think I may use it for just that purpose.

Im thinking maybe it was the reciever of a bar type deadbolt or latch for a cabinet door
