Some very cool finds.:thumbsup: I like all of them.Not sure if you know but the spoon is neoclassical 1740-1810,& sometimes have been thought to be used for powder scoops when found with items like you have found together.Most the spoon parts & whole one's I have are older pewter trifids,dog nose, & mid rib,but still to find one in that shape & era it's a cool find.Without a doubt the other finds are great as well.
Take Care,

Thanks Man! 14 years and more treasure than I can remember and I have never found 1 single gold coin. I like to feel I am going to find them all at once!
