Nice examples, but incredibly hard to date accurately. This may help http://www.johnwinter.net/jw/2014/10/the-spindle-whorl-part-2/

The King Billy is probably 1696 so they may fit in with this date but who knows As examples have turned up from he Iron Age to Georgian, although that said I have always presumed the pelleted ones like your one example are Medieval.

Keep the finds coming

Cheers

As already said incredibly hard to date, usually the whiter the older they are with lead. But nice finds anyway, good searching there.
