Botanical Gardens

[Monty]

Went by the botanical gardens this AM and had my detector so I stopped off and hunted for about 30 minutes. I hunted around the oldest sidewalks and found $0.56 in clad, one quarter and the rest pennies. I also found this interesting little pin out in the middle of the lawn all by it's lonesome. At one time it had a pin on the back but it was missing. It is a shield depicting what I think is a railroad track, a tennis net and 5 stars. Across the bottom is scrolled SUPER AGUA ET TERRA. My wife Kay says it's Latin and translates to Super Water and Earth. I have no idea what it represents or what organization it might have been in reference to. At one time it was red and blue, much of the red still showing and just a hint of the blue. It's made of plated potmetal I think, but would have looked nice with all the paint and pin intact. Any ideas? Monty
