Hi all, ***I just updated the post with pictures of the engravings on the handles. They both say 'EMC' which may be a local in town. I need to do some research.***
I just remembered these from a hunt a month ago, sorry for waiting so long. These were found at the Tavern site which now belongs to very generous folks who have invited us over anytime to hunt the property. I donated my last Draped Bust penny, musket ball and flat button found on his property for his display. Anyway, these two spoons were found in the field, one signal after the other and about 5 feet apart.
I have searched high and low and cannot find any reference to H. W. Smith as seen on one of the spoons. The other is stamped 'sterling' and some other lettering which looks like 'salmer buchedders & co' so my 15 year old son with the good eyes tells me. Also there is a mark on it too. My partner found one this past weekend at the same site where I found these. His turns out to be from Portsmouth NH maker 1750's.
Here are a few pics. If you have any ideas I would be happy listen 8) Thanks for looking.
