The silver spoon is a neat find and the engraving

The lake I was hunting is a mineral lake high in alkaline the silver coins come out like a cookie you have to break the shell off the coins as soon as you find them if it drys its like concrete the Indian's loved this lake for its healing properties smells of sulfur it has been a resort since the 1850,s HH

So they are like Sharkpit's cookie coins - I gotta say yours come out better than his, but wow that water is rough on 'em.

That spoon is beautiful. I've only found a couple of 1933-34 World's Fair items, for a while I was collecting nondug items. Very nice.

Nice finds Ron.

Thanks for explaining about the Walkers. I have never got to hunt a site like that. That sounds like it would pretty cool. I would love to beach hunt some day too.
