ID on a jewelry piece, also is this silver?

[Aarong81]

I had about an hour to detect, rare for me these days, so I went to the park near my house again and found a few pieces of jewelry. I wasn't getting any coin signals in the area so I was digging really weak signals. The square jewelry piece has red around the edge, white in the center and 2 blue stars. Does this represent anything?

Also, I found an elongated pin that I am almost positive it is made of silver but has a tin/aluminum or other type metal back that held the pin. It came out of the ground very clean with dark tarnish except for the back which needed cleaned to read it. I can make out PatapdforAPCo???

It looks as though it's silver plate. You can see the underneath it being some type of pot metal. JMHO. That bullet is really cool. HH, Nancy

What diameter the pistol bullet. The object with 2 stars could be military related.

I don't know how or have the tool to measure the caliber of bullets but hopefully this picture will give you enough to go by to tell what size it is. Its slightly larger than 5/16, but not near 3/8(or 6/16). I think it is pretty old because of coloration of the lead which eventually turns solid white and the fact it was directly below a large root that grew after it ended up in the ground.

ralph-----The object with two stars probably attached to a pin that the parents of a soldiers wore. The two stars means that they had two sons in service. You'll see other pins or flags with 1,2,3,4 stars. The # of stars, the # of sons or now -a -days daughters in service.
