do you have weights on these items?

also, it would be far better if you were to split them up into separate topics for a better flow of information on each one.

I don't know much about these but the top one looks like a button to me.

#1: agree it's a button or some similar artifact.

#2: appears to be a Byzantine "anonymous follis" class B, attributed tot he reign of Romanus III. That bright green coloration is of concern as it's likely to be bronze disease.

#3: Islamic. Seljuq or Mamluk by the looks of it.

Thank you! The identification of #2 as Romanus III. follis is spot on! I'd never have guessed that. Any idea how to treat the disease?

top one might just be a seal rather than a button maybe?

The second one appears to have stable deposits of something. Not sure it is corrosion products. I would wait and see. If it does not start showing loose green powder you can leave it be as it is.
