Pocket Watch, silver spoon, shoe buckle etc.

Got permission to hunt a house that shows up on an 1867 map. Not exactly sure of the age of the house, but old enough. It did seem that a lot of the huntable area had been disturbed when they put in a pool and added a barn not long ago. I did find a few things to make it worthwhile, but I was really hoping for older coins. Still looking for that bust silver. The house, located in North Salem, NY can be yours in the $1.2m range.

Don, I grew up in Fairfield County and went to school in Danbury. I can only imagine the coins those people dropped over the years. Unfortunately they usually had the means to bring in fill and dig up every inch of ground :lol:
I've yet to find a silver spoon. Your spoon is sweet, congrats!

I'm with Drew, still looking for a complete silver spoon. Got 3 bowls but I just can't seem to find the whole one. Oh well...

Yours is a beauty, :congrats:

Drew,
I live in Brewster, NY just over the line from Danbury. I must be collecting silverware as I found another silver spoon last year and earlier this year I found 2 silver forks only a foot apart. My best piece of silver was a silver knee buckle I found c.1770-1790. I love finding old silver coins, but also love buckles, buttons and any old silver.
