Colonial house relic( UPDATE-Great news on this relic)

[Colonial Copper Zeus]

The 3 detectateers had high hopes going into this weeks new spot. It was not to be. Late 1700's early 1800's house. No old coins to speak of but I did find this spoon. It is made of pure silver. I never found a solid silver spoon before. It's very thin and teaspoon size. It has calligraphy letters on the top face. It also has I-M on the back. Anyone out there know their spoons? I would appreciate input.
Thanks
Chris

You looney biscuity of a boy,

As the other looney oyster boy said, even though we didn't find what we seek to find, it was still a good day. I would still like to knock your jib into next week, you looney. OOOOF

I'll have some new rasearch for next Sunday.

Re: Colonial house relic

Sounds like you had a similar scouting mission as me today.

The silver spoon is very early, even by UK standards. I've had a few but they are mostly late Victorian.

VERY NICE 8) 8) 8)

Thanks Jeff. Even though I am a diehard coin guy I can also appreciate something such as this. I knew it was special as soon as I freed it from the doit.
