Glad you had a fun time. Some nice hammered pennies you found.
In case you don’t have an ID, that final item is a bag seal from Webbs (Webb & Son). Around 1894 Edward Webb, a seed merchant, (from Stourbridge in the West Midlands) took over the bone manure works of Proctor & Ryland in Saltney (a cross-border town, split between Flintshire in Wales and Cheshire in England). His grandson William later expanded the business to include horticultural and agricultural seeds, Webbs became a household name, and they were appointed ‘seedsmen’ to every monarch from Victoria onwards.
They’re still in business today, based at Wychbold in Worcestershire and have three garden centres as well as an on-line business.

Some may not have noticed but you have found a pretty scarce mint of Edward I;
VILLA BRISTOLLIE - Bristol
Congrats
PS. if those 3 Scrappies are the only bronzes you had, then your Roman bronze/silver ratio is pretty insane. You should be closer to 50/1 not 3/1 !
