Some of the things I have used.
Instant coffee jar lids. Some of them have some interesting shapes and forms. Paint well. Flip them over and fill with plaster if you want the weight..
I also have about 15 or so marble and granit bases from trophies. Some were mine but most found in a flea market. Unscrew the "trophy" and you have a nice solid and heavy base.
If you are by the coast a walk on the beach can turn up some good flat stones, I have a box of them varying in size from 3cm right up to 10 cm.
Failing that there are always the off cut bins in the local timber merchant/DIY store.
Oh I have even heard that you can buy bases! lol

Hi Steve - There are a wide selection of plinths available at Historex - type 'base' into the 'find' box.
