Today is my 13th day of my new hobby and found this 1893 sterling souvenir spoon from the Chicago world's fair. I can now say I had my first "silver find"

Great find. Has to be some old coins in that spot. Keep digging!

Nice piece of history, looks very nice! Are you sure it is not plated though, handle looks silver but bowl looks off. Either way, anything from the 1893 world's fair is an awesome find!
