These were found at a site where a house previously stood; it predates 1818 and probably was built in the 1700s. They are all the same pattern and were silver plated; the one on the right cleaned up bright silver where the plating remains. Spoons.webp2015-09-30 10 58 30.webp
 
Relatively early for mass-produced silver electroplate. Somewhere between 1885 and 1900.

The pattern is the same as that used in late coin silver spoons, up to about 1875 or 1880.

Might even be the same die set

Pretty cool that they are all the same pattern. That NEVER happens. I've dug plenty of spoons and no two are alike.
