First 2011 hunt brings baby silver at 1820's house

Headed out to the 1820's house today for my first hunt of the new year. Overcast and muddy but warm, and no rain until late afternoon. Dug a variety of relics in the yard and out in the horse pastures. I guess my best find for the day had to be the sterling silver baby spoon. It was under a root of a huge oak next to the house. Came out in great shape and it looks to be fairly old.

Other finds were:
*Two 1800's flat buttons w/shanks (one Treble Gilt)
*Suspender clip
*A clip with a rabbit & bear on it. Looks 1800's?
*RFD padlock
*Pocket knife
*Asst'd & unknown

Thanks for looking,
MM

Nice barrel tap valve and sword hangar, that place has a lot of potential! HH, Mike

You find some of the coolest relics, Doug!!!

Thanks KD.
My trusty Silver Umax does alright. The old properties don't hurt either.
