2 unknown finds from England.

A friend sent me the scans of the following coins...they are way out of my area of study.

Celtic perhaps?

The first looks like a 'barb', imitating a FEL TEMP fallen horseman type.

The second is a knight on a horse with a christmas tree for a head?

The rev on the 2nd coin looks different.  Unless it is really barbarous.  It looks like a rider sitting on a horse.

Oh, it's a barb too, but of what?

I'm not very familar with the different barb reverse types...so these coins are quite a mystery to me.
