Went to the fairgrounds for a couple hours this afternoon... wasn't having the best of days.. hard to concentrate with a sinus headache... landed a 1941S Merc... and found a Silver spoon.. it was heavily tarnished.. and had to dip it in cleaner and then use a SOS pad to get it clean.. The first pic, I took 1/2 way through cleaning it.. but the entire spoon was thick black.

More from the fairground... <:

I've never found a solid silver spoon.

Good luck next time out.

Anything silver is cool. Myself I probably wouldnt have cleaned the spoon, but thats just me. I hope you have the same luck or better next hun there. :clapping:

Nice finds.

By the way, I was at an auction this past weekend where there were some old silver spoons just like yours, and they went for several hundred dollars each. :shocked04:

Yes, it was a bit insane, but hang on to those silver spoons :)

Wow, you are a real silver magnet now, even when sick lol Nice Merc and even nicer hallmarked silver spoon :shocked04: :shocked04: Looks pretty heavy too. That has got to count for at least 5 silver coins ;) I think you have a lot of areas to rehunt there. Nice job on the finds and hope you feel better!

Nice find! I agree with Epi, that's got to be worth a few bucks!
