Dug these a few weeks back at a small remote colonial site that I hadn't been to in some time. No foundation, just a hole in the ground. Not even any stone walls. This is an older site. Looking at my records, the only two coins from there were a 1722 Rosa and a 1723 Hibernia. The site has given up a few crusty pewter buttons, a buckle or two and not much else. I detected that site for about 3 hours and the only nonferrous hits were these two spoon handles. They were about 50 feet apart and both were on edge. That explains how they had eluded capture in the past. I don't have any other spoons like that. But that trefid pattern was apparently out of style by the very early 1700s. That makes sense with the age of everything else found at that site. They appear to be made of brass that was plated with either nickel or silver.
