Update for those who don't like to read. 
Went to several sites. Found a silver plated spoon marked Deerfield Silver Plate on the back. Found 2 axe heads and wished I knew how old they were but don't and basically the rest was junk.
I started the day out early and went into the woods behind my house to the old saw mill site. I usually hit this area when I really don't want to venture out. There I found a chain and some iron rods and junk. After about 30 minutes of being cold I went inside to warm up and decided to try to find somewhere else to go. A friend said he knew of an old barn in the woods where he hunts and he would take me to it. I met up with him and we started walking. After about a mile up and down hills through the woods he tells me he's not sure if he can find it and that he thought we went the wrong way so back to his house we went. We crossed an old road bed along the way and while he rested I detected a little. I found the spike looking thing in the picture with the spoon there. When we got back he told me of another place but we had to drive to it and I told him that was better than what we had been doing and I was more than happy to drive. It was a old house that sat back off the road in the woods and that's where I found the spoon and the little lids. The spoon has Deerfield Silver Plate on the back so evidently it's silver plated but still it's my first silver spoon.
I don't know how old its is but it was about 7 inches down. After spending some time there another friend called him and said that the lady he leases some land from has a old farm house on her property that I could detect so we drove over to it. That's where I found my first axe head and not long after finding it, I found another one. I had to leave to go to a meeting but I now have those places to go back to and I am going to try to get permission to bring some buddies with me. Also, at the meeting I had to go to, I was showing my buddy the axe heads and got permission to detect one of the oldest churches in the town I live in. It was built in the mid 1800's. 
Sorry for the long story. Here's the pictures!
