A few nice finds, we worked hard but no silver, 2 wheats.
A rolled cent that has M&M Las Vegas on it, 2 Mexico coins.
I saw token for $65 on e-bay.
Don't know value of metal

No silver wouldn't have bothered me at all. That medal is awesome and will be fun to research. (That group still appears to still be around.) The token is nice and there looks to be a few other neat odds and ends.
 
That medal is outstanding nice that it came out of the ground in one piece. Nice hunt.
 
Indeed it is.

Once a Freemason completes their initial degree work, they can - at their choosing - continue their Masonic journey by joining other related (“appendant”) organizations. Scottish Rite and York Rite are two.

Commandery is one of the three York Rites, along with Chapter and Council.

Grand Commandery is the state-level organization for the individual - mainly city - organizations. I suspect Tennessee had a statewide meeting on the two dates on your medal, and members of Bristol’s St. Omer Commandery received that medal to show their participation - as would have other city’s Commanderies that were in attendance. BTW, St. Omer Commandery was still active as of 2019.

It depicts two Knights Templar, which is the meaning of the “K.T.” in the oval atop the shield.

Nice find Sir.

No silver? I'd be delighted any day with your finds, those are some wonderful recoveries! That Knights Templar medallion is super cool. Are you in Tenn? Odd to find a St. Helens Oregon token there if so, but tokens do travel. St. Helens is a small town located a bit downstream from Portland Oregon on the south bank of the Columbia River.

That metal is way cool,...

Nice token and badge. ...

That's a really cool medal....

Amazing Knights Templar medal, you should contact them as I am sure they would be interested in it.

The medal is very nice,....

^^ These ^^

That masonic medal thing is so awesome ! And since Freemason folks tend to wax romantic about, and collect their past, I too wondered what it was and what it could be worth.

And seawolf did a great job !! Great followup :
