Just for fun this one as I know these are bits of junk. Never the less I am bugged not knowing what the hell they are/used to be.
Im guessing the flat item is a bit of an old badge as it has a black stone like resin on one side setting the metal in place or vice versa. the other lead piece looks newly poured. A game piece in weirdly good condition? Any ideas chaps?

Honestly, I haven't got a clue. Hopefully someone will chime in
with some ideas.

It's anybody's guess on these bits...

Is the second piece broken? It doesn't look like lead to me. Maybe pewter? My only thought was it's a piece of a flagon or tankard hinge. A repair?

Just a shot in the dark, but the first item could be bits of molten metal that have cooled and formed together.

Nice idea there. I'm not sure. Its not broken though (the second piece - big lead bit) and quite heavy.
