So I dug this little fellow out 70's producing area. I didn't test it with acid because I didn't want to ruin it. I can see remnants of paint and my best guess on the metal is copper. Thanks for the help.

Thats a nice find. No need to put acid on it. Its a painted lead toy soldier and it should be lead.. Do you remember that Patriot movie where Mel Gibson melted his kids toy soldiers into bullets? They been making lead toy soldiers for a long time. I played with them as a kid. They are all ugh plastic now. Nice find.
