I went back to the same wooded area in a park where I found the three silver GW quarters. I took BigTony's advice and slowed down, thinking there had to be some silver dimes. The spot where I found the quarters I went over again, but nothing. Moved to a nearby clearing, hit the 1923 buffalo, and the 1907 Barber dime. The barber is nice, probably a F. Also found an old fired bullet, which is flattened on the one side. Looks to be about .36 caliber. The rivet has some kind of symbol on it but I can't make it out. Only two memorial cents. Not much trash in these spots, but lots of aluminum can tops from the old bimetal beer and soda cans. The steel parts have rusted away. Luckily they're on top of the ground, so I'm just picking them up. I think I've collected two dozen the last couple hunts. Only 1.5 hrs. today, rain started moving in.

I did some cleaning on what I thought was a rivet and it turns out to be a lapel "pin". No actual pin, it's designed to be worn in a buttonhole. It has a shield with the compass and square, an arm and hammer in the middle, and words around the rim. It's the emblem for the "Order of United American Mechanics". It started as an anti-immigrant organization in the 1840s, but later became just a typical fraternal association, which paid death benefits to members, and provided life insurance. The words around the rim are partially legible. At some point the organization was merged into its youth auxiliary, the Junior Order of United American Mechanics, which is still in existence.
