Default Sundays Finds

Hi Friends, here are some of my finds from 2hrs walk on Sunday on a local field that i know has some history to it, Oliver Cromwell and his army stayed in this part of the country in the seige of Lathom house, English civil war
The History of Lathom

first find was the figure it stands about 2 inches tall and is very heavy it looks like a monk in prayer the pictures dont do it justice.

second was a coin? that seems to have once had four holes cut into it but is sadly now broken, bottom of the coin looks like it reads 17?

third find was a shilling from victoria 1867 nice condition with 6 mint mark
this is a small number just above the date

the musket ball and small silver shield were found 2 weeks ago on the same field in roughly the same spot give or take 100yds

HOPE YOU ENJOY LOOKING AT THEM AS MUCH AS I DID FINDING THEM
