    Little Silver Yesterday

    Not sure what it was, earing perhaps, but has a spring on the inside with teeth on the ends. Also got a musket ball.

    The spoon was from my last hunt as well as the handle with the initials OEM.

    Hmmm, looks Victorian in age but I don't think so being stamped STERLING. I don't think it's an earring though with those teeth. Almost looks like a table setting pattern (like on fork and spoon handles) so I wonder if it has something to do with napkins or table cloths? Just a wild guess.
