Even a couple of baby spoons.
I think getting a silver spoon at a homestead tells a lot about the wealth of the family.

One farm I found two of the baby spoons. And around 30+ spoons at same farm. I believe the area where all the spoons were found Was a pig pen.

Probably throwing out the slop buckets. I've found utensils in our compost pile over the years.
That's a lot if spoons for one place. I usually might find one every few years.

The farm is from 1785. It was amazing how many spoons were found there.
