Hello everyone i was back out again today in the same spot if been hunting the past couple days. I got another large cent slightly better condition than my first. Also found a fork stamped reed & barton 9, not sure if its sterling never found silver only marked with a 9. and found the smallest buckle ive seen. Also found what im pretty sure is a cufflink and an old key.

All excellent finds! Congrats!
 
I'm guessing that it is made out of coin silver which is 90%.
 
Those are some real cool finds. That’s a cool looking fork and I like the buckle. Congrats
 
ya did some treasure FINDIN':laughing9:
 
The “buckle” is a loop chape to a larger buckle. The single spike dates it circa 1720 probably. They went to two later in the century. May want to go low and slow in that area

Nice finds! :icon_thumleft: Love the key and the pickle fork!
 
Great hunt! You could probably link the silver fork to an exact spot with some research. Quick search: maybe the Omni Parker hotel in Boston that was first opened as the Parker house in the 1800's. Cool key, just found my first barrel key this past weekend.
 
Congratulations on the great finds. Always love the Large Cents.

Oh just another LC , I need to move up north , 'Kidding' They must sound so good.
That silver fork is super sweet. I love it's design.
 
Congrats on the LC and relics. Every piece of silver flatware I’ve seen has some kind of silver stamping. Most plated pieces either show wear through to the brass underneath or they have some breaks in the silver “shell” exposing the dark brown brass inner. If you clean it up real well and post a close up of the tangs and end of the fork it will most likely show plated or not. Congrats
 
Im glad to see your posts your doing really well The spoon looks silver I bet the 25 is worn off Well done bet your in the hieght of the addiction Lol good post.My turn next I hope

Is this the missing piece? I went back the next day and pulled it out about 5 feet from the chape 20181103_182806.webp
