My Silver and Better Coins So Far in 2015

[deershed]

First good find for the year was a 1880 IH.

My next hunt was a 3 silver day. Started off finding a 44-P war nickel.

Not too far away my second ever silver spoon.

Then at the end of the hunt a SLQ, no date.

All 3 silvers for the day.

Went back to same property the next day for a quick follow up hunt and found a no date buffalo.

Next hunt was a older property that had a campground on it from 1968-1980. We found a lot of clad around the recreation area of the campground. Most the clad was from the 60's and 70's with most dimes and quarters 65,66 and 67's.

We moved down closer to the old house on the property and on the outskirts of the yard. Buried between some huge roots from a monster hemlock I found a toasted KG II copper half cent, my first ever.

My last hunt before we got this last snow I found my first merc for the year.

And everything together so far. I also got 11 wheats and a couple buckles, plus other little things.

Great finds ! What does the souvenir spoon say on the handle ? (I really want to find a silver spoon !)

Any markings on the spoon ? The Eagle on top reminds me of something the GAR or similar veterans organization might have used. I suspect that directly below the eagle there may have been some sort of enamel emblem that has since gone missing

Thanks guys!!

The spoon says souvenir down the front of the handle and I think that's exactly what it is. It looks like some sort of plate sat below the eagle probably with an attraction or city marked on it.
It's marked sterling down the back of the handle, only weighs 8.5 grams.
