Been hunting the bahamas for relics and hit some fused conglomerate from an old house that burnt and fell into the sea....I've found some good stuff over the years here from time to time but I've always been looking for the rumored silverware here !! Well I've finally started to find some after a couple years of poking around. Today I got a heavy ladle handle in silver along with a large conglomerate that has a silver spoon bowl and a mystery piece of inscribed silver !! The pictured pieces are only a few of what I found but have definitely got silver locked inside 20200223_134635.jpg

You can see a large silverware handle in the first pic and the large silver conglomerate next to it. 20200223_134722.jpg in this chunk you can see the decorative silver spoon bowl exposed in this clump. 20200223_134703.jpg
Heres the inscribed piece that came out of this silver clump 20200223_134656.jpg

I cant make out what it once said but it does have a patent also at the top of the tag.

This was a deep hit that turned out to be a Revlon compac from the 50s. 20200223_155228.jpg
In this video I had just dug it and had not reached the HEAVY LAYER yet !!
20200223_124022.jpg heres my co worker digging with me on her day off...she did good with the carrot pin pointer and actually dug a nice bottle while digging in the iron layer today !! 20200223_124016.jpg 20200223_124137.jpg
Here's some of the iron trash we cleared away to get to the heavy (silver)layer today !! Check out the video.....the nox is a beast at looking through the iron !! There's more there.....I wanted to dig more but to be honest I cut my finger on glass while digging and had to stop !! Happy hunting everyone and good luck.

Yup....its been fun so far.....the boss came out to dig with me yesterday for a bit. When the weather won't let us fish everyone wants to come on my adventures with me. I was digging for an hour and then the whole crew came to dig with me and hang out. It's hard to believe I'm on a working trip sometimes !! I'm sure not gonna sit in the house and watch a movie because it's to windy to fish.....life is to short to watch movies when your in the bahamas....I can do that back at home in the U.S. I'm trying to seize every minute I can for my passions.....all my co workers know that I'll have something planned for every minute of free time I get. That attitude and passion is catchy and I love to get people inspired to do things they normally wouldn't be doing. Everyone had a blast and I did my job and kept everyone entertained on a day when it was to windy to fish or use the boat. Woooo hoooo....its better in the bahamas like the commercial says !!

Looks like "Let lie i' the earth".

Your right TooManyHobbies.....its a quote from hamlet. How long will a man lie in I earth ere he rot. I think I got that right. Here he is all cleaned up hall Mark's and all. 20200224_155550.jpg
Here is an image of hamlet holding a skull.
20200224_155414.jpg
Here is the other side with the quote and hallmarks. I have no idea what the purpose of this silver item was used for.....perhaps a book mark or something ?? But it's a great little silver relic and I'm happy to have found it !!

Very interesting! I would think there is enough info on the piece to find out exactly what it is and where it may have come from?

Thanks georgivs !!

EQ8....I'm sure once I get my search wording right I'll get some results....silver hamlet figure with quote got me nothing close. I've got to get working on the clumps and see what's in there next...had to work on the boat today, so I'll try and free up that spoon bowl next.

Thanks for the link EQ8.....I've got to get in there and clean up the hall Mark's a little better and itll come together for an ID. I've definitely never seen anything like it....its a strange little piece !!
