.05oz Hammerd Silver

[bobberdown]

I dug this 0.5oz hammered silver today at a very old home site (1800's) It was about 25 yards from the rock house supports near a cistern. It was 6" deep and showed as a silver dollar.
A question could this have been hammered to make a spoon, or was it a spoon and it was hammered to make some kind of tool? It is very flat.

well it certainly appears to be old spoon to me given the stem section at the top. probably broken on purpose in order to make something else. nice silver.

looks like a hammered spoon . I once found one hammered flat like that with a thin sheet of copper attached to the spoon end to make a spatula. long trip to the store back then so make it yourself.

I am not sure but I think this is the first post I have seen from you. So just in case welcome to the forum Bobberdown. Nice piece of silver you found congratulations.

That name wouldn't have anything to do with fishing would it?
