The lead pot thingy could be an aviary and cage-bird feed and water trough.. They were often cast from lead and are flat bottomed. Probably 16th - 17th century in date. Alan.

Nice finds Joel.

I agree about the bird feeder.

The lion's head mount is probably post-medieval, but there isn't always agreement on this. See here for a few more:
