The First has St George slaying the Dragon on one Side the other has some initials and the Date 175?.
It is 25.25mm Dia 2.9mm Thk with a Weight of 12.09g

The other is very Worn with a word on one side ending in RA
It is 26.3mm Dia 1.9mm Thk with a weight of 7.37g

I think the date on your first coin is 1759. Together with the specification it would make it this coin, Russian Empire, 1 Kopeck, C# 6.1: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces88340.html.
Under the horse you should read "КОПЕИКА" but your coin is too far gone, I can only read the "A" with certainty. With the coin in hand and knowing what to look for, you might read more letters.
Your second coin is a Russian Empire, Pavel I coin: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?r=&ct=coin&im1=&im2=&tb=y&tc=y&tn=y&tp=y&tt=y&cat=y&ru=1491&ca=3&no=&v=&i=&b=&d=&u=&a=&dg=&m=np&f=&t=&w=&mt=&g=&se=&c=&wi=&sw=

It should be the 1 Kopeck coin (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22643.html) although there's a big difference in weight, even for a very worn coin.



The first three digits of the date are visible (179) but the fourth and most important one isn't. By elimination (it can only be a 7, 8 or 9) I would say it's also a 9 (although I'm not sure).
I believe for the mint the M is visible under the 9 but all mints have an M so that doesn't help us. Unfortunately, the first letter of the mint (should be under the 7) is not visible at all.
Thank you all I have now found them I would have never looked for them from that location.There are a few others that I have to photograph yet.
Thank you again for your knolwage.
