They look like the discharge plates from the base of a Smith gun projectile but I can't imagine what they were doing in the US ! Just a thought......!
 
Not in the USA siegfreid ,,a couple of old ranges/training areas here in the UK that were also used by the USA the majority of finds have been USA in origin
 
Allan. Whoops , misread the post ! Old age & an addled brain catching up . I still think they could be from a Smith gun proj.
 
Would be interesting to find out what these are as I often come across plastic versions of them.
