17 or 1800's? HANDMADE SOLID SILVER SALT SPOON*TOKENS

Saturday got out with Gary to a few cellar holes.It was his day as he found quite a bit of colonial goodies.
my take was a few buttons one being an elephant sportsmans button & a nice iron horse stir-up .
Sunday I went solo to a site I located .the cellar hole got bulldozed i think but all the myrtle & pacasandra is there so that's where i focused.a button,2 tokens.pontiac & a madame hendron doll token,both 1920's i believe.Then i got the tiniest silver spoon i ever seen in my life.no hallmark but it's silver.looks fairly old.I think it's an owl? or a cat?

never dug a bird band before so tiny! and the tiniest bell i ever dug.it was a tiny day i guess

the sterling earing i found on the bank near road and saw this river mill spillway gate and snapped a pic.
Anyone have any ideas on the age of this spoon? hand tooled but with no markings it has me stumped

With no hallmark it is probably American Coin Silver. I would wager that it is from 1850 or earlier. Possibly even colonial. I have an awesome site for silver ID. 925-1000.com those guys are amazing. You may have a gem.

thanks for that info.I have that site saved from before but no help in this situation :O(
