Methinks you are going to be finding lots of everything very soon, (sorry if I sounded rude didn't mean to be , they do look like grots from a distance).
Good question on the spoons alphason, tinned bronze, silver , if you put a small scratch and look through a magnifying glass that may help determine the metal.

the coins look very similar to the roman grots that we find up here. very difficult to date, but it's an educated guess that they are late 3rd / early 4th century.

They may not be either flip, a grot is usually referred to as a Roman coin (in this case) that is worn sometimes beyond recognition.
The bits that you have posted up could be anything (not old), so at the moment just take it as identifying initials, so at the moment, it's not a Roman coin and it's not a token.
