Got Skunked This Morning But Had A Good Afternoon Relic Hunting

[John-Edmonton]

Got up before sunrise, temp -9C and hit a tobogganing hill. It was a little chilly, and I lasted a couple of hours. I got nothing....nadda, zero, the big "O". It's been a bad year for those tobogganeers...little snow and ice on the hills. I went home, sulked a bit then headed out to some woods. We got s little snow during the past week, but it is very dry and powdery......the coil just sliced through like butter.:devil: I found an old canning jar at about 5", so I figured I was at or near an older picnic ground.

I packed a lunch....cheese, hot pepperonis and an apple. Food always tastes so much better in the outdoors. After gulping down my lunch, I continues searching.

Here are the finds for the day....one coin, one key and a real nice spoon. I managed to find the date and style on this link. A great site to help date any silverware you might find. http://www.silverpattern.com/pattern...ilverplate.htm

Mine ended up being a 1948 vintage style called "MORNING STAR" manufactured by Silverware.

Below is a pic of that spoon turned into a ring.

How did you make that ring?? Great use of an old spoon!
