Made it back to the campsite to see how many more spoons I could find. As no surprise, I found a few spoons and a fork. More interestingly I found a couple of items that many date the campsite and tell me who camped here. The first dig at the campsite was a coin spill. 1916 Buff, 1899 IH, 1917 Merc, and 1911 Barber dime. Good start! Shortly there after a s small sterling bowl with a handle turned up. Maybe a candle holder? This was a cool find because the first thing that came out of the whole was a couple pieces of broken file. I knew it had a high probability of being iron cause I heard the squeak/grunt. Deus users know what I'm talking about. When I rescanned the whole the grunt was gone but the squeak was still there. A couple inches from under the file, out popped this beautiful sterling object (any idea on date?). As I was working the heavy iron, I got another squeak/grunt. This time lots of nails were hiding a military button, 1899 barber dime and some neat looking blue glass (military button is about the size of a nickel). I think after coins dating to the turn of the century and a military button, my vote is pre WWI military campsite.
