Hey everyone!
I was fortunate to have pleasant weather for my annual trip to Massachusetts. I managed to get in a scattered 5 hours of detecting before the ground froze to where I couldn't dig anymore. I hit the old field where I did so well last year and came up with a few more great finds. The first find was a SWEET Massachusetts button with a lot if its silver plating still on it. I did a little research but I couldn't find any with the same back mark as mine so any info on that from the button experts would be great. Next, I found the 1787or8 CT copper along with an 1868 2 center in awesome condition. After that I found the thin little silver spoon. It looks like it is a baby or a condiment spoon. I'm not an expert but it looks like a fairly early piece. It has the initials A P engraved in the back along with a hallmark. I can make out a faint "D" and a "B". If anyone has any info on that silversmith, I would love to find out more about it. I also came up with 3 musket balls, 4 buttons, some shoe buckle pieces and the letter "I". I wasn't sure if the "I" is a relic of sorts or if it's modern. The back is lead or zinc filled.
Happy New Years!!!

My apologies for the pictures all being sideways...I haven't found a way to fix that yet. Also here is the link from my finds from the same field last year.
