No help on the hammy I'm afraid, and I'm being a bit lasy with the fibula as my books are out in the car but it's an early one which I think is a Hod Hill type and is probably no later than 100AD. The grot, going by the portrait type looks like either Magnentius or Decentius so around 350AD.
If the fibula and grot are from the same site then it could be a good one as these finds are 250 years apart and shows continued use of the land ;)

Well found.

I think the hammered is probably a Henry VII halfpenny. What size is it?
