Picked these up for fun today. Couldnt see all in bag but a few that looked old enough for me (wwii). I dont know much on bullion or navy insignia. Any insights would be much appreciated

I'd say they're WW2 era. The triangle within the round globe is for US Coast & Geodetic Survey. Those are rather scarce.

The pieces in your first post are Navy Nurse Corps.

 

In the second post:

- The one with caduceus superimposed on anchor is U.S. Public Health Service.

- The pair to the right of the U.S. C&GS are USN Supply Corps.

- The stars are USN line officers.

- The one in the cellophane is not easy to see but looks like USN Civil Engineer Corps.

- The three-bladed propeller indicates USN Machinist warrant officer (or possibly an engineer in one of the other sea services).

- The silver crescent moon looks like an Army Transportation Corps steward insignia.

- Have no idea what the Chief Steward is.
