Some very cool finds. I like all of them.Not sure if you know but the spoon is neoclassical 1740-1810,& sometimes have been thought to be used for powder scoops when found with items like you have found together.Most the spoon parts & whole one's I have are older pewter trifids,dog nose, & mid rib,but still to find one in that shape & era it's a cool find.Without a doubt the other finds are great as well.
