The silver button was found when the guys from Illinois were here. The fork and spoon came from the same wooded area. Check out the design on the spoon, not seen that one before, any guess on age ?
Nice finds! As for age, see if there is a name on back. Looks like there is one stamped above where it says sterling. You can research most manufacturers and find the old patterns often getting the date range of manufacturing.
