I got out a couple times this weekend for some cellar hole hunting. This spoon was found in my buddy's yard after one of the hunts. It's a souvenir Liberty Bell good luck spoon. It's a very small spoon....only slightly more than 4 inches long.

Recovered a few flat buttons and an interesting sqaure piece that I can't ID. Any suggestions appreciated.

I found the inner workings of a pocket watch. Unfortunately the watch case was missing.

This ornate drawer pull was an interesting find. unfortunately it was in several pieces when it was recovered. It rang up as a solid 80 on my VX3. I was thinking large cent when I dug it.

Very NICE, Evolution! What material is that spoon?, it looks copper. I have two copper spoons-they are quite delicate. I love finding furniture pulls-they display beautifully.
Sure wish I had access to more colonial sites.

It looks to be copper or brass. At one time it was definitely silver plated. There were very small flakes of silver on it before I cleaned the dirt off of it. The ornate furniture pulls are definitely interesting to find.
