My buddy and I hit a huge lot that the city bought and is turning it into a park. The lot is next to China town in Los Angeles, Calif. They use to grow corn on it. I was using the SE and Sunrays 12.5" coil. Ferrous mode, zero discrimination, gain at 5, sensitivity at 27 auto. The place is loaded with trash and iron. I got one wheat, a key, bullet casing, the below items, and lots of trash.


This is some type of badge or pendant. It says "Sovereign Grand Lodge" on top. At the bottom is a date 1904 and it says "San Francisco". In the middle of the badge is what looks like an eye and it has F.L.T under the eye. I think it stands for "Fellows Lodge Temple". This temple was built by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. If you type in The Sovereign Grand Lodge in goggle you'll get some history about the Odd Fellowship.

I thought it was going to be a dog tag but I'm thinking it might be a railroad tag of some kind. Any ideas? Below is an old compact. I found one in good condition for sale on e-bay for $295.00 My daughter noticed the name Djar-Kiss on the edge. It's sterling silver and came apart when I opened and cleaned it. If you type in Djar-Kiss old compact in goggle it will take you to a picture of one in good condition. You have to scroll down to see it.

Looks like you got a good site there and found some very cool stuff. I'm not sure if that's a RR tag, they usually said so and so RR on them, but I'm no expert. The compact is real nice as is the IOOF tag. Sounds like you got some ground to cover, good luck. Ron
