Silverware Dump!

[lkylemoore]

This past year I have been extremely busy with building a new home, moving 3 times and changing to a new job. So, I haven’t had much time to md. We all know it is hunting season and I thought I would break out the detector at the cabin on the farm where we hunt. I know the cabin was built in the 50s but the family that live in it had an original home site late 1800s on the property that their grandmother had that I am anxious to find and hunt. Needless to say....my first good sound after some trash was a fork. After digging it, another fork......then so on and so on! The pics will tell the rest of the story! After cleaning them all up as best as I could.....there were not any solid silver, but mostly everyone of them were silver plated. I was able to date most of them from 1915-1955, along with a few stainless modern ones.

Cutlery hoard! I think you win that category hands down, that's a lot of items for one recovery.

 

[smokeythecat]

Wow! You know if you want they can be replated if necessary and you can use them....
