Cool finds man! Looks like it says: W H Shi xxx er
T x Lodge No 32
L.O.O.E

Pretty sure the LOOF stands for Loyal Order Of Elk. I found a Lodge #32 in Marion Ohio but there could be more than one in different states.

Is it a F or an E at the end? When I zoomed in I thought I saw another part of the last letter

Oddfellows. FLT = Friendhip, Love, Truth

[DocBeav]

Think you nailed it man, I though the last letter was an E! Oops!

Good call on Odd Fellows!

Well one thing is certain , you have a very interesting old hill site there ! The difficult hill grade is likely contributing greatly to your
finds - for the obvious reason that it's harder to hunt by all but the most hard core hunters , secondly many coin jewelry losses
occur on sledding hills in winter . Clearly this location has been in use for well over a century .

Thank You Don...

 

[Mackaydon]

My pleasure. You have a great winner there.
Finding the heirs to the pin might now be an interesting challenge--should you wish to pursue it further.

Well done in getting the Gold Pin identified.
I love hills and some of my best finds have been made on hills.
Congrats on a great find. It always pays to investigate those nickel signals.
