When you say Roman Medal, I guess you mean style of....as it not very old & doesn't look gold.

Thanks for the re-do of the photos.
The "bullet" is the size of a dime. The piece on the top that juts out a little seems to have had something else attached to it?
The fishing reel is plain on the back and says "wind line" with an arrow pointing counter-clockwise. It is 2" in diameter.
The medal is the size of a quarter and doesn't look valuable although the Roman figure is intriquing.

I woke up & released immediately what the roman thingy is. Its part of a 'coin' bracelet. Although in this case they would have been coin imitation type.

The reel is not a fishing reel, it looks like the line spool for a weed whacker. I have never seen a fishing reel that told you which way to wind the line. Is the line a large diameter, ( .025 to .095?

Crusader is right...

I also agree with the weedwacker spool theory which is why I wanted to see the other side...  Not a fly fishing reel either as that would have had a cord backing, not fishing line. 
The bullet?  No clue... it kinda resembles a "cleaner" but I don't know.

The line is very thin. I don't have calipers to measure, but seems to be to thinner than any weedwacker line I have seen. The back is plain metal with "wind line" designation.

Maybe it is part of a fly reel... I dunno, how thick is it? I mean, where the line spools?

Agree unless it's an automatic fly reel. Got a picture from another angle and one with something to tell the size. Line size doesn't tell you much, Ive seen them full of 15# mono.

I think it is the spool from a spincast fishing reel, like a Zebco 33.

Re: Bullet, Fishing Reel, Roman Medal??
Here are a few more photos of the reel.
1) shows the size next to a penny
2) shows the back... "wind line"
3) shows the thickness. The penny is being used just to prop the reel up since the rear disc is smaller than the front.
