The medal looks like it may be from either the Cold War or Vietnam. the picture under the medal may be a old marble. The last pic. is a button not sure what era though. The second pic. looks like a button as well. The only thing I have no idea about is the first metal piece.

the buttons are more on the modern side. you can tell by the shanks. maybe blazer buttons

The medal says "Glory to the Soviet Pilots"

Thank you. I knew it was Soviet but haven't found that particular medal on the net. Maybe now I can.

Thanks. The first item really looks like stone but its man-made for sure. It's broken on both ends and sets my pin pointer off like is solid iron.

The buttons are real small. I saw a similar on that Diggers show and they said (with similar shanks) their button was from the 1800's. the ornate button has a broken stone (fake diamond?) in the center.

Thank you. I knew it was contemporary but do you have any background on it? Era it was given?

I found it at a local park (ironically "Vets Park") in Monterey California. Weird thing I found another military medal nearby but both were in a brushy area of the normal trails. Within 100 feet of each other but clearly unrelated. The other medal is a US Army major's brass (cluster) rank pin worn on the collar. While both are military medals, they are from different armies. We do have a military languages post here along with semi-closed Ft. Ord Army based.

It's such a strange coincidence and really weird place for someone to lose military decorations
