Finally had a moment to write a post with the finds from last week end. Had a couple of nice hunts with a discovery of 2 new house sites with a good harvest of early coppers, silver and relics.

Probably my favorite relic of the week end was this solid silver tea spoon. It was bent pretty bad when I discovered it but with a help of a friend I have managed to fix it.

Here's how it looked before and its hallmarks (I'm not familiar with those)

An other good relic was 19th century skeleton key. I suspect it was used in the early 1800's Catholic church which was across the street, possibly to open sacristy.

A nice old cross. Haven't found this type before.

A few nice coppers. My favorite was this not yet ID'd Connecticut copper.

Love that key and the religious cross are very interesting, to a new operator of a detector, would it devalue the cross to straighten the bend in it? Great job on repairing the condition of the spoon. Thanks

Thanks gilmerman. I doubt anything will devalue the cross as it has no real value. It was bent way more when I found it and I straightened it a bit after coming home. I'll leave it as it is now.
