Be careful you don't lose them when getting tyres changed as they can stick to the butt of the trolley jacks used by some garages (which pulls them out).
Sounds like your rear heat-shield has worn bolt holes and has come down around the bolt/washer fasteners. If you can get some large stainless penny washers, you can probably remove the bolts and refit the shield with these (although this will depend upon the size of the holes and the size of the washers)..
Good luck,
Karl.

or the exhaust shield has torn and the bolts still hold part of the shield but the rest has torn away.
Mine had torn and so I braced them and used rivets with washers on the other side of the shield having come through the brace
