Thanks for the responses guys..
To address a few things..
Yes, the tin is over cedar shakes (can see the shakes from the inside) and what looks like a layer of some type of shingle type material (can see from outside)
Reinstalling shouldn't be too awful bad, one said trying to get it under one of the existing pieces would be the pain.. Lucky for me, it was an "end" piece and the piece next to it.. The piece on the gable end was folded over and nailed to the fascia board.. fascia board broke loose allowing tin to start flopping.. Before I realized what was happening, 2 pieces were on the ground.
No fasteners were visible (they are now though lol). I'm guessing the tin is old enough that it would have been crimped and not snapped on.. My place was my grandpa's boyhood home, and if he recalls right, the tin was put on in the 50's.
As best I can tell, a couple of the nails/straps pulled out of the roof, but some look to still be there (looking up from the ground it's hard to tell for sure). Looking from inside the barn, the slat boards look nice and solid, but looks can be deceiving. Highly possible it didn't have enough penetration with the original fasteners.
And yes, the roof has been painted at least once.. I didn't think to see if it was the asphalt stuff, or just silver paint like grandpa had his grain bins painted with (about the same time they painted this roof as a matter of fact.. bout 15-20 years back)
Here's a picture of the barn, and most my tractors.. The pieces missing would be the ones above my Cub and H. (the narrow sliver and 1 full size piece)

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
