Connecticut copper, solid silver spoon, a few nice relics.

[Aureus]

Finally had a moment to write a post with the finds from last week end. Had a couple of nice hunts with a discovery of 2 new house sites with a good harvest of early coppers, silver and relics.

Probably my favorite relic of the week end was this solid silver tea spoon. It was bent pretty bad when I discovered it but with a help of a friend I have managed to fix it.



Here's how it looked before and its hallmarks (I'm not familiar with those)


An other good relic was 19th century skeleton key. I suspect it was used in the early 1800's Catholic church which was across the street, possibly to open sacristy.



A nice old cross. Haven't found this type before.



A few nice coppers. My favorite was this not yet ID'd Connecticut copper.



Wellington Halfpenny token 1814



Trade and Navigation Halfpenny token 1815



Two mint 1859 Victorian Large cents



Many other coins and relics, here's the pic of my favorites.



Thanks for the comments.

Love that key and the religious cross are very interesting, to a new operator of a detector, would it devalue the cross to straighten the bend in it? Great job on repairing the condition of the spoon. Thanks

Thanks gilmerman. I doubt anything will devalue the cross as it has no real value. It was bent way more when I found it and I straightened it a bit after coming home. I'll leave it as it is now.
