Woods Hunt And Land Hunt Found Some Nice Vintage Objects

[John-Edmonton]

My wife called me at work to tell me that she was picking up my daughter from school, which meant I have detecting time. I packed up my AT Pro and headed to a spot in the woods I have been meaning to hunt for the last couple of weeks. I then headed to a spot which I was hoping would give up a silver coin, and it did!

I got one of those signals, with the VDI bouncing around the 40's and 80's. What a surprise....an old baby spoon. It looks like it was silver plated at one time, but the elements managed to remove most of that plating.

Here's a couple of silver quarters which I managed to get along with the bottom of an old vintage shaving stick dating back to the 1920's.

Here's my favorite find from tonight. An old GM Token from 1941. I will have to research it as it is a very unique find. Below are some vehicles which GM built in 1941.​

Nice woods finds. John, I guess your silver count with that pro to be about pushing twenty since thaw. Am I close?

John, was that spoon deep?

If it were shallow and I were guessing, I'd say that spoon is bent up that way to allow for some "cooking" of some drugs. Makes it easier for the users to handle that and a needle... No experence, just an educated guess...

It was about 8 inches deep, the same strata where pennies from the 40's were showing. It definitely wasn't a spoon for melting heroin.

I don't know what the spoon was for, but the Bayer Co. started producing heroin commercially in 1898.
