I found this spoon in a vacant lot this evening. At first glance, when it still had dirt caked on it, I thought it was a piece of can slaw. I’ve never seen the plating peel off a spoon before. .
I guess so! It’s always interested me, how the earth can twist and bend objects over a period of years. Not that this was the case with this spoon, but I’ve found rings and such that I know they weren’t squashed when lost.
