And you have some good ones this year so far. 
Hang out & keep them coming dawg. 
that spoon was handmade by the Silversmith , Rev. War , Captain Andrew Billings , Fishkill , NY 1773 -1796 . It is a coin silver , salt spoon , some call it a crumb spoon . Seldom dug, if ever ! Extremely fortunate to get this one and it is a gem . My Best Find for 2011 
A lot of NJ West Coast towns were the providers of a Colonial Philly favorite 
you will find oyster shells on almost every dig site in NJ and Pa . Most , if not all ,were from the Delaware Bay . Economy thrived in these port towns . Some of the homes I pictured were built for Captains .None are shacks 
The shellfish men were paid well , and with any luck we'll find some of these lost coins and relics from these ol' shellfishing boys .
