Just doing It (Part 2)-Burning Beaches with the Explorer Se Pro.

timekiller · Feb 28, 2011

Well another day of hunting.But I did find some silver this go.Part of a old spoon :icon_scratch:

if it is it's a thin one and not from wear either as it still has a design on front and stamp marks on back & looks like maybe a broken ring.But it's been another day for me with finds from 1600's through to the 1900's well not many 1900's other then couple bullets & fishing sinkers.
Take Care,
Pete, :hello:

You are bringing that site back to life everyday you go out there and post these finds... It's almost like you've found a lost city :dontknow:

btw, that silver spoon is pretty early.. it looks even older than some of the other coin silver spoons :icon_scratch:

is that a hallmark on it?? maybe a 17th-18th century from England

Thanks Jeff,
I'm not to good on silver marks but if I'm seeing it right.It's [IC] stamped twice on it.It's so small though I can't tell if there's a dot between them.Either way looks like early 19th century for a time frame.
