    Colonials Loved Cereal

    Here is a sample of some of the Colonial spoons I have excavated from 18th century sites. In Dirtyville, they would rather a sparkling button.

    Old spoons are always a welcome find, broken or not, I have found broken Irish emblem spoons, it is good for a display and maybe some one might say, I have found something like that on my farm. Lets see your spoons.

    Nice designs on those spoons to bad they are so damaged but they are from an era gone by and they would be considered interesting finds in my book.
