1800s FARM AND THE SILVER SPOON :)

[lonewolfe]

It was in the 40s here today so I broke out the CZ20 and went dirt fishing this afternoon for a few hrs. on an old farm property I'm looking at possibly buying. Had to test the ground before I make the decision as to if I will or not! lol

Found the walker, an infantry button (cuff size), an 1864 Injun head and a solid silver WM. Rogers & sons spoon!

Also found some clad, and a few piece's of "whatzit's" not shown here.

All in all it was a good day hunting and a 1st for me in some weeks now but it was fun and I may just buy the farm now! lol

Awesome finds and congrats on the silver! What will you do with an old farmhouse? I have an old farmhouse that I have put big $$$ into and you know what, it is still an old farmhouse, LOL! It does have a sauna, whirlpool and an attached glass wintergarden. HH and have fun on the farm, Mike

Does the spoon actually say solid silver? I don't think WM Rogers did solid silver. It would either be Sterling or plated.

Great coin digs!

Nope - don't say "solid silver" -

I should've said "sterling silver" which is the same as coin silver which is 90%

I just meant to say that it's not "plated" like so many are
(I've found literally dozens and dozens of them over the yrs. and most are "plated" but - not this one!)

HH all and thanks~

Very nice! I'm jealous! Probably over an ounce of silver in that spoon! Sterling is 92.5%, just a little better than coin silver!

I can see the headlines now: LONEWOLFE BOUGHT THE FARM Oh, wait, that doesn't sound right.

I'd buy that farm and hunt it til there was nothing metallic remaining in the ground. Then I'd sell it and move to another old farm. It's like being a trout fisherman and having a trout stream in your own backyard...HEAVENLY.



Those are all great finds. The button is way cool. The half dollar is beautiful. WTG.

Good deal. Gotta love big silver. Nice early date on the IH.

Got about 55 today in Northern Ohio. Sunny too - perfect for metal detecting .
