Old ladle, indian and Barber Dime

[je177]

I dug this old ladle, this 1907 Indian and 1912 Barber Dime at an old home site. I can't believe how well preserved the indian was! Can anyone tell me anything about this spoon? It has a mark that looks like it reads U.S.S Co. On the back. Overall, it was a pretty good day. Thanks for looking!

Big Congrats. 1912 Barber Dime, my first Silver coin. Looks like the Indian was in some kind soil, it is sweet. I have been really spoiled here in Ohio with good kind soil for my copper finds. I only recently started field site hunting and boy what a difference the fertilizers/chemicals do to the coppers, pretty much just kills them.
Good stuff and again, Congrats!

Not sure about your spoon makers marks - but it seems military to me . The shape looks like a soup spoon (large round bowl)
Your Indian Head Cent is a honey - Nice ! and the Barber is not too shabby either .

I found the same maker on your spoon on some silver military pins from WW1. So you can probably date it to that time frame at least! [emoji2]
