Neat stuff, MD!

The hearts look as if they're probably mother-of-pearl. (Sometimes it can decalcify a bit underground, and so looks solid white rather than lustrous, iridescent, or "pearly." )

Is the silver spoon actually a pin, or maybe a salt spoon?

[Mainedigger]

PBK...the spoon is in fact a salt spoon, not sure why I grouped it in with the necklace stuff, didn;t realize it till after I posted it...re-posted the Penn college one because I thought it didn;t come thru the first time, see now that it did...
