27 Grams Sterling, shoe Buckle Frag, and Big Foot ?

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

Wow it seems that as soon as the beans are cut the winter wheat goes right in, leaves no time to dig.

Got a couple targets today.
Sterling spoon was a surprise, I wasn't expecting, but is at least 80 years old, this mark hasn't been used since the 30's
I wished the shoe buckle frame wasn't broke, but such is life.
The big piece of lead has a round "stamp" on it, but no other decernable markings, so just a curiousity.
and last I got a lead "big foot"

EDIT Forgot 1 blank copper ( no surprise) and two plain jane buttons)

The spoon is as good a 5 common silver quarters so happy with that even though it looks like it's been through a war.

Good digs Rick. I have yet to find a sterling piece of silverware, I'd be pretty happy with that for sure.

This is only my second complete one, first was 2013 a 1700's with a ship on it.


Got 3 or 4 broken pieces the same year.

Yes still digging, have a great looking spot in mind for tomorrow, just hope I'm not too late.
