Went out to My favourite permission this morning and hunted it for three hours. The sun was shining so it was a grind to be able to find these few finds. I am very happy about the spoon since it is My first complete silver spoon, even though it is quite bent :)

The two coins are: 1/12 skilling (from around year 1804) and a 1/6 skilling from 1850 ish.

Thanks for the video! Congrats on a silver spoon. Those aren't a common find!

maybe that one round thing is a door knob?

Hey thanks for commenting! Yeah, It might be :P Some of my friends also thinks that. I wonder how old the buckle could be, though?

Silver is silver! Congrats on your first silver spoon find. They are much harder to find than the plated ones.

Congrates!
Not familiar with European relics, are there any makers marks on her?
Can you date it?
Kudos!

It has the swedish precious metal stamp (gold/silver) known as "cat foot" or "three crowns" as the three crowns placements look like a cat's foot. I believe the year stamp is just were the bend is and it looks damaged.. I think it says S1 but that would make it 1776 and... I can't believe it would be that old!
