Hunted a farm tonite made some interesting finds no old coins except for wheats I think the heart shaped it is an IOOF item. The religious charm is the biggest one I have ever dug it is about the size of a half dollar

nice haul!
 

nice assortment of finds!!
 

You're right, that's an Odd Fellows item. My grand dad was an Odd Fellow and that's about all I know about the lodge.
 

nice finds congrats HH
 

The heart shaped item is also a suspender buckle, similar to this one. Don in SJ has the patent info on this. It was patented sometime in the 1850s.
