Found some goodies I think need some help with the identifying

[Southie E.J.]

Ive found a virgin spot thats been giving me up lots of goodies! Tons of barber dimes, Merc dimes, Rosey dimes, and silver Canadian dimes + lot & lots of buffalo nickles, war nickles & IH pennies, tons of V nickles, and shield nickles, and some things I just cant identify. Please help me out and correct me on these finds. They seem very interesting. I think I found a war bullet & firing pin, a weird coin with a big mushroom which looks like a frog on a lily pad (maybe gold) a religiose mary (maybe gold), and a very weird coin from Boston ( maybe gold) also a bicentenial (Looks silver were they ever made of silver ) aA solid brass buckle it says on the back of . Is it old? Heres some pics of my unknowns.

Your bullet is a modern jacketed rifle slug, you'd need to measure it to get an ID on it. The other piece I doubt is a firing pin. I'd need to see a close up pic with measurements, but I think it's more likely a punch of some sort.

Can't help you with the rest, but I'm sure someone can.

The "coin" is from the Boston School of Physical Education 1915 - 1930. After 1930 the name changed to the Bouve Boston School of Physical Education. What does the back look like? It is so small. Maybe it was a lapel pin.

I may be wrong but gold does not corrode like that... brass or plated brass at best, but way cool finds none the less, congratulations are in order.

The frog on the lily pad is probably a necklace or charm instead of a medal. The item under the jacketed rifle bullet is a 'punch' of some type. I've found several like that. Sheldon is correct; gold doesn't corrode like that. Nice finds, Breezie

I found that info. too but i'm not convinced (just yet anyway), only because of the position of the wording on it. I'd like to see a better photo of the lettering to the right of "School", it's out of focus. I'd also like to see what the back looks like. I'm betting a pin too because of the size.
