Default Trying to identify....???

I'm a new chap here, pointed in this direction by a longtime member. Some friends have found some collar titles/cap badge? in Surrey, along with a copper pot! The cap badge? is a crown with fleur de lys on either side of a central square flower ? The copper pot stands 7.5" high and has an inscription in latin, around a figure on a horse facing backwards with someone walking behind there are three fleur de lys on the pot too - possibly from the corresponding mess hut? then there are copper brass tags 'S of M' 'HANTS', and 'RE'. Also found a wee bit of live ordnance - different sizes - only knew they were live when they got thrown on the bonfire!
We would be very grateful if anyone could pot us in the right direction to identify these. A fruitless search at the weekend, and more digging (literal) to see if there is any more to be found. I have photos but I believe I can't post them here.I did try.IMG_0001.jpg
