The one on the right looks like a fragment of a ALEXANDER III of Scotland, second coinage penny, mint ? but this is only a guess as i`m no expert !  ;)

Can't argue with that Mick. Mint is probably Berwick, but will never be certain as it depends on the number of points on the four stars and they weren't always all the same.

The other coin is Henry III voided long cross, Lincoln mint, moneyer Ion. Class 3b or 3c.

Great finds by the way!
