I agree, there's some cool bits there, many of which are familiar to us UK detectorists.

Re: the two weights below the clay pipe stems:

The rectangular one with the annulets design is an Apothecaries weight, similar to this example:

Apothecaries weight

The dimensions and weight would pin down the exact weight it's supposed to be.

The circular weight is a coin weight. S and P indicate shillings and pence, the I and 3 show it's One shilling and Three pence, which would be a quarter of a (five shilling) Crown, an uncommon denomination. V R will indicate Queen Victoria ( Victoria Regina ).

Nice collection of finds, Robert. Prolly still more there to find.  Little by little the earth releases its grip on historical items from the past.  That’s what I like bout detecting.
