Went back again, looks like I'm just starting to find the great stuff at the place.
My first target was the Admiral Dewey Antique silver spoon
Found my first old buckle, my first was a remake, and found my first LC
the wheat and the lc i can not read the dates yet but they are soaking in a hydrogen peroxide bath, will post pics when done ;D
any ideas on the age of the buckle, please post :help:

*UPDATE* The coins are done, they came out good.
-1852 LC, couldn't get all of the green crust off tho
-1910 Wheat Penny, beautiful green patina

A great find indeed!
 

Re: Another Great Day at the Tavern

Your buckle could be anywhere from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s. It is a horse bridle buckle or similar piece of horse tack.

Great spoon!

Can't wait to see the coins. :thumbsup:

Re: Another Great Day at the Tavern

that spoon rocks!!!!!!!!!!! MR TUFF
 

That is a Beeeautiful 1852 Largie. :thumbsup:
 

Harsh polishing is probably the last thing this spoon needs. Dug out silver's surface can be very brittle and when polishing it you can loose some detail and metal. I believe these souvenir spoons are ca early 20 century.
