This is a copy from a post by Mr FlintHunter. he was able to ID the square item in the last photo for me as a 18th century Apothecary 5 pennyweight.
Thank you Flinthunter for the Excellent ID ...
FLINTHUNTER :
I am thinking the square item might be an 18th century coin, apothecary, or bullion weight. It looks like it has a lion counter stamp and 5 annulets/rings stamped into it. The 5 annulets should represent 5 pennyweight. Get an exact weight in grams. If it weighs 7.77 grams or very close to that then you probably have an old 5 pennyweight bullion weight.
Here is a link that shows several similar weights. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. The very bottom and the 4th row up have very similar items. http://www.colchestertreasurehunting.co.uk/C/coinweights.htm
