    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.

    I have always wondered why more of the Pewter spoons are not posted.They are always a sure sigh of a good site when they surface here,and they do surface quite frequently.Thanks for putting them up!!!Many with the Scalop design were Parkers

    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.

    Love em
    Pewter spoon fragments are always welcome here!
    Great info on pewter spoon history & dating:
    http://www.pewterbank.com/Spoons_..articles..13.pdf
    Of interest are a parker bowl, flattened to use as a patch
    & some recent finds, one stamped Baldwin & Hacked 'M'.

    Pieces of 4 William III Royal Bust spoons dug here:
    http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php?topic=396039.0

    Someone got hold of one of the original molds and is
    selling newly cast spoons
    Why bother digging?
