old silver gold and big bronze

hay i have not made a post in a wile . i got to get to a spot with the at gold that i found some good finds last year . this is the first relic hunt with the at gold . i was in pro mode 1 with iron audio on . the spot the best finds came from was under the old house site . nails every wear .. i got silver gold and big bronze . the gold is rare it is a pin a very kool one at that. the bronze is rare as well its a Bronze medal, Louisiana Purchase World's Fair Exposition, 1904 .http://hrcdigitalcoll.uams.edu/cdm/ref/collection/uw/id/1007.. the silver looks like a ear ring or part of one . and a few coins to . one wheatie .
 
That looks like some of the international order of odd fellows symbols. What a amazing find, and it's gold? Way cool. If you find out any new info on where it comes from, please update.
