3 ringer bullet, old swimmers medal, Indians, tokens, silver

[floodplaindetector]

Finds are from the weekend hunting with "SILVER KING". Things started out slow for us but yesterday he had a stellar day with silver dimes and I had a great day for Indians and tokens.
The bullet appears to be an unfired 3 ringer civil war era. We were puzzled as what it was doing in a park this far north?
The swimmer's medal has some cursive writing on the back but is too worn to determine if there is a year on it.

Indian head pennies are 1883,1902,1906,1907. Dimes are back to 1920 and nickel is 1946.

That's a very nice group of finds. Yep, we don't find those 3 ringers too often this far north. When I use to live in S.E. Iowa I would find about 2 a year.

Hey floodplain,

What do you know about the swimming medal? I found a boxing one early this year same design.

Hey D.V. I scraped some of the crud off the back and it reads:

DeMolry
2nd place
1955.

So I can at least date it for you.
