3 Spoon Day!

[steelheadwill]

Hi all!
Got out in the mud this morning, then searched the wooded area of a local town Common after work.
Ended the day with 2 Sterling spoons, & a nickel silver,
the 'A' mark on the beaded spoon is the earliest of 'Alvin Silver Works' marks.
Eagle on left, tilted Anchor on right. Ha, found the pattern, 'Virginia' 1900
The sterling adds up to 42 grams, that's like diggin $1.75 in coinage
I can't figure what that monogram says, looks like someone might have added a letter...
Forgot to mention yesterdays hunt yielded 2 British 'New Pence'
(shown today)
Got some kind of Muffin button, see a shield, this needs some work
A lead hemispheric button, first I've seen, it's an oldie.
Figured I'd put the engraved rocks glass I found to good use.
Silver makes a good day, HH to all, Thanks for looking

Congrats on your three spoons today Herbie!
You got two Sterling beauties too! That's amazing man!

I like this spoon best, I know it's 1929, but that style is more like 1529!
This is my second favourite of your finds! In fact, I'm enjoying one myself right now!

Hope you and Chris hit gold this weekend,
Dave

Looks like home brew.

Good job on the sterling, I have not found any actual silverware yet.

Your usual great finds Herbie and you have regained yor "Spoonbillwill" status. They sure lost a lot of silverware up there. HH, Quindy.

Congrats Herbie! You definitely earned a beer!

A Sterling spoon is still on my wish list.

Thanks Dave, I got the one you like in the mud, and the Alvin in the afternoon,
Kept my spirits up thoughout the day!
I still come up short on the silver coins compared to some (ahem....)
But the spoon finds keep me happy just the same, Best digs to you!

Good job on the sterling, I have not found any actual silverware yet.

Rick, I find most of the silver on old beaches & mudflats, I guess they were used in the past as picnic areas. my theory: the mud flats were formerly saltmarsh, ( of which some remain today) they have eroded into mud over time leaving behind the lost goodies), the eroding edges of the saltmarsh are the first places I scan, every tide drops more items into the mud... the beer is a yeasty Belgian ale, I used to be an avid homebrewer.

thanks Johnny, First two Silver day for me ! Waiting to see more from your awsome site, there's a banner there no doubt HH

Q, I love the variety of Flatware I dig up here, from 17th Century Pewter to 20th Silver, reminds me of all the different slugs you get down there.
I got a bowl full of Ringers I need to sort through
& see if any are special
thanks & HH

Congrats Herbie! You definitely earned a beer!

A Sterling spoon is still on my wish list.

Testing, With all those silver coins in your binder, I don't know how you haven't swung over a spoon
With your silver sniffin skill, there's one comin for sure! Best digs!
