One of my most unusual finds

[Dan(NM)]

I found this today at an old high school I've been hunting for the last 16 years. It rang up on my etrac at 12-39 at 6" deep, when I popped it out of the hole, I thought it was a blob of lead. When I flipped it over I could see the stars around the edge and I knew I had a V-nickle. I think the 3rd one is a v-nickle as well. I thought it was lead until I started putting some heat on them, needless to say I'll never know because I toasted them with too much heat, it wasn't lead, looked like they had been welded together with a brazing rod. Luckily I took a few pictures, something told me not to do what I tried, but, alas, I did, my bad.

Any chance (maybe) that they were in a fire within an old building long gone now...?

The school is still there, I can see a V on 2 that I was able to get apart, so, I know there were 3 for sure. I knew better
