Sorry I missed you mole. I've been beaten to it on the coin ;)

The large bronze item does look like a Bronze Age flat axe. Hard to tell what the coin is - maybe I could see it in the flesh at some point?

Nice finds, it is a copper flat axe made these before they discovered bronze was better I think. http://1501bc.com/nf_bronzes_eng.html (http://1501bc.com/nf_bronzes_eng.html)
The lead token is an unusual one, have found a couple similar but usually they are quite flat.
