My wife did it again. :headbang: We went to the woods and began hunting a sector that we are going to nickname the Alley of the Pennies for the many pennies we found in just a small section covered (187). Well, she handed to me a nice WW2 U.S. Navy Stainless Steel Spoon by Silco. :blob6:

What a nice find among a lot of trash. Congrads :notworthy:

Good question. This is a section of the woods that was a huge picnic grove in the 40s till early 50s. I also think a train passed through it in the past as well. The road is still there, but no tracks can be seen anymore. My wife and I found a number of smashed coins and we wonder if those coins were placed on the tracks for the train to smash them. They are not old coins though. I'll post them shortly for I'm puzzled by all of those things.
