These look like hammered chunks of silver. Beyond that, I am not to sure where these are from. Some say 164, RX, VIII, etc.

Partial year (164_) and VIII for 8 Maravedis (Spain).

BTW, mrwhatisit, you really NEED to buy a coin from this series:

I don't have any of these yet (would love to get a few), but I thought the 164x might have been the date, the viii a possible kings after number (like King Henry VIII), and the RX a monogram of Rex?

VIII would be the denomination. It's a countermark. They're copper.

To help the OP, I would never have guessed these were 1640s Spanish maravedis in copper. I wondered silver because of the color of a few of these looked like buried silver, but I see where the copper look is also there.
