Hi all - I dug up these two items today and wish to know what they are. A cut half and also a circular lead weight, of which I've never seen before.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Allectus - the photos are poor, apologies for that, I usually have someone here who can help me out with photos but they are not available at present.
