Old Silver / pewter spoon found need help identifying it
Hey guys, I found this old spoon while out today metal detecting. It’s hard to date but the area was occupied from the late 1600s up until now. There was a revolutionary war near this area. I’m hoping somebody can help identify the markings and possibly date the spoon. The spoon is non-magnetic and just dirty. 
Thanks for the help,
Doug

Can we see the back? Are there any markings on the back? If there are, can we have a pic of them? Looks like it was a silver plated copper or iron spoon. Maybe pewter?

Some kind of copper-alloy base which was once silvered I think. Strange design!

From the design style of the handle , I'm confident in a late 19th /early 20th C. dating of the piece (1890's -1910)

Welcome to Tnet
Your spoon appears to be in a pattern known as ‘Persian’, designed by Charles D. Hall in 1871.
Multiple manufacturers used this design for plated and base metal flatware including:
Aurora Silver Plate Mfg. Co.
B. & Son
Bristol Plate Co.
Hall, Elton & Co.
Meriden Britannia Co.
1847 Rogers Bros.
(Anchor) Rogers
Rogers & Bro.
Rogers Smith & Co

Wow, thank you very much. I was having a very difficult time figuring it out. I just saw it laying there on the side of the river bed.
