Hey guys I'm up in rural New Hampshire and did a quick dig. The place I'm stayin was built 1953 but my finds state there was certainly activity well before that!

Hi Greg1186; I believe the spoon may be 1700's as well given the shape of the stem knob at the base of the stem ok. Welcome to New England. PEACE:RONB

Congrats on the great finds! You're certainly in the right part of the country (once it cools off and we get some rain!).

I relish in finding shoe buckle pieces - it means the ground has some age to it. That's a nice cooking pot style chape piece, larger, probably 1770-1790's.

Dunno about the spoon. Can you provide a pic of the back?

Nice work
