Nice finds, I do like those lead tokens, there must be hundreds of different designs. They are as rare as hens teeth up here. Well done.

LOL well he should know the answer Grin OK well unfortunately there is no accurate way of dating them but they are regarded as tallies so the crop that was being harvested needed to be counted in baskets/bushels (also stone masons) etc and then at the end of the day/week/harvest they were exchanged for cash a great many were found at the last rally up that way and we tracked them to being associated with hops so I would suspect they also relate to hops or what Herefordshire is famous for (no not Alun) apples they were still being used in this form in to the early 20th century so some local history research may reveal the crops grown and therefore the date.
I like the sword chape which is post medieval 1450-1600 Wink
