Went back to a site in the woods that had given up some nice coppers in the past, but 2.5 hours of swinging netted only one common wheat.
Did, however, find this piece of a spoon, which tests as silver, tho a bit less than 925 if I'm reading the acid right. I take the silver however I can get it.
Oldest: 1755 Spanish silver; 1800 half dime | 1842 seated half | 1857 seated quarter | 516 silver coins in 2011!
Looking at that spoon, the other piece should not be far away. Good luck, RickO

hey Randy i just found a piece just like yours ( part of the bowl to a solid silver spoon ) they were usually made of coin silver ( melted down silver coins probably spanish reales) and close to about 90% silver . i have only found one complete solid silver spoon , they are pretty rare to come by . silver is silver and a good find no matter what shape of form it nay be in ,congrats.

I definitely would take that silver any day. I found one two years ago at a meadow. They sure do sound sweet.
Hey that is a nice find Randy.Not your ordinary run of the mill type of spoon.Congrats on the silver.
For every relic that rots away........a piece of history is lost.
