Metal Detecting

Hello! I have had these items for quite a few years now and have never managed to identify them. They all came from what was an old barracks in Norfolk. In the same area as these Items I found hundreds of .303 blanks, a few lead bullets from a Martini Henry and a some bits of blown up shrapnel.
I was told the first items may be the caps of rifle grenades?





This is the first two of these 'things' we found. I dug up another two when I was last in Norfolk. They seem to be made from a ferrous metal with a corroded nut on one side. The bit that puzzles me is the rubber washer going round the edge. They are just under 6cm in width.



Any help is greatly appreciated

They look like they should be something to do with grenades ,like gas check plates but i have not seen this type before ? maybe ww1 period ?

the 1st 2 are from no35 rifle grenades i believe

no problem mate cant tell you what the other items are but im 95% sure they are ordnance related sure RRPG will agree!!!

Yep. Chances are they are ordnance related. Look like grenade or artillery shell parts.
