What kind of soon?

So the place my buddy and me were metal detecting was the old Town of Zurich that started off as an Indian trail. Now there's nothing there but woods. We found an old well that we plan on dropping a magnet down at some point. So we figured we'd do some detecting. We found a bunch of junk of course and a bullet. But what I'm really interesting in is a spoon we found. It is really malleable almost like it's made of lead. I can't find anything about it. Y'all have any info?

It's made out of pewter.
Its for sure older than 100 years old but i don't know how much older.

Nice I.D. by kellam.
I believe that it's pewter as well, likely mid-19thc, it's rare to find a pewter example that's complete.
Probably left by someone eating their lunch or dinner close by.
