REV WAR 16th REGIMENT PEWTER SPOONS&68PNDR CANNON BALL

Hi. I have been out of the water for awhile with boat issues. I finally have things organized and am back treasure hunting. What a pay off 30 minutes ago. Water find with fisher 1280x. Not one but two Regimental Large spoons of the 16th Regiment of foot. I found 1 musket ball then a piece of grape shot but I was still getting a signal. Then out popped the spoon. At the time I thought it was plain. Then about 6ft away I found three more musket balls and the second spoon. When I got home I saw the broad arrow and the the J6 I almost had a heart attack. Also has makers mark and soldiers full name in script! The other has a large RM in the bowl. I think I'll head back to that spot! I also found the largest cannon ball I've ever found yesterday. It weighs 65 pounds! Any ideas?

Hey, when its right out of the water the iron turns blue in places for about 8 hours. Not sure why? Oxidation I guess.
