Need help dating this spoon. It appears older than i originally thought, being the "egg bowl shape" was coming in in the 1700s i believe (correct me if wrong). Is this older than the rat tail spoons? It has the puritan style square stem but I can't find anything that looks similar to the...

Decided to take the long way back from the newly discovered 1700’s cellar hole(red). And wandered into the back yard and orchard of the last house on the old road(yellow & 1800's) one of the dangers of having headphones on and listening intently is you can’t hear the bee’s nest you must of...

Updates are at the bottom of this original post. 👇👇👇 While scanning the lidar of previous permissions one day I happened to see this tiny depression(red circle) I knew it was a long shot but I hoped it could be an old house site. I made the trek yesterday. This old road which can be seen...

Went to a local freshwater beach/boat launch/hangout on this dreary day up here in Maine. Never detected it before, it just kind of popped into my head this afternoon. I figured there wouldn't be as many people there when the sun wasn't shining. I was right, just a couple fisherman. This place...

Hey guys, I found this old spoon while out today metal detecting. It’s hard to date but the area was occupied from the late 1600s up until now. There was a revolutionary war near this area. I’m hoping somebody can help identify the markings and possibly date the spoon. The spoon is non-magnetic...

Glad it didn’t rain today. It’s been two days since my dad offered me another handyman job to help a client/friend named John move into a condo in Alamo Heights. Most of the furniture was really heavy, John had his daughters (both graduated) help in the move. After 3 1/2 hours of labor I spot...

These finds are from one of the old foundation sites on my property. It’s the same site I found this locket at http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/629442-can-you-help-dating-find-dug-my-new-site-last-night.html So I found this spoon head and then this tiny peace of metal close by. At...

Can anyone id the age/period of this spoon plzz help thanks

Can anyone id this type of metal? I searched pewter, lead, etc with no convincing match.

I found my first silver plated spoon yesterday! On the back it said Continental 1886 Silver Plate. Is 1886 the year that the company was founded? Sorry I didn't post a picture. I will later. :thumbsup:

So today I went to an location that I'm on very often. Iv'e found coins from mid 1700's to early 2000's there. I'm trying to get proof that some people lived there back in the day while the people living there says the houses are from 1930's and all the people from the 1700 & 1800's was just...

Hi there, Im new to this site.. looking to get some info on a Biltmore Estate engraved spoon I have here. I picked it up at a local yardsale about 10 years ago..I have tried looking online for some information on it, but I cant seem to find another one just like it. Any help would be...

Hi friends, metal detecting has been few and far between due to work schedules, but got out today for an hour or two. Found a very old pewter spoon in pieces, a neat looking brass piece (any ideas?), a very smooth bullet, and a beautiful pewter button (tombac?). Nothing too exciting--even an old...

I found it today at my house.

Hello everyone, I'd like to share an interesting antique spoon with a unique monogram. I find it quite intriguing :icon_thumright: In 1885 Donald Trump's Grandfather Frederick Trump, also known as "Friedrich Trumpf" acording to New York immigration records, lived at 76 Forsyth Street in...

Hi everyone, just posting today's finds. Anything look familiar (besides the obvious, lol)? Curious about the round hollow circle thingy. Enjoy! Lisa & John

Hey Guys, So went out hunting for the first time this year on Sunday 2/28. Finally the ground out here in New Hampshire is finally starting to thaw! I figure I would go out for a quick hunt and see how the conditions turned out. There are two old schools nearby. One, an elementary school...

A few months back I purchased this spoon off of Ebay where the seller claimed it was a 17th century pewter spoon. After receiving the spoon I agree that it's both pewter and, well, a spoon, but I'm not sure of the time period. I can't find an example of the maker's mark anywhere that could...

I would love to hear your thoughts on how old these are, where they might have been made, their style They're all a little over 7" in length, weigh around 1.5 oz each and have very nice details the only markings I can find is a (13) stamped on the knife's blade thanks!!!

I was out garage sailing and stopped in at a antique consignment store and purchased a large silver spoon for $7.00. The price tag on it read - "English Spoon". The back of spoon has a lion passant hallmark, however it's facing right. I did some research and found that the English silver lion...

The silver spoon! Found on a property that dates back to 1801.Found it about 5 or 6 inches deep. Not sure if it's silver through and through or just plated?

My husband found this spoon in West Harwich, Cape Cod, MA in the sand. It appears to say "silver plated" and "England" on the back. We wondered if it was anything of value? Does anyone know? Thanks!

I picked up these 2 spoons, however, I am not sure if it is sterling or not. I am hoping someone is familiar with these hallmarks as they are on the inside of spoon rather than on the back like you usually see. ( capital "C" inside a shield and what looks like a rampant lion inside another shield)

Greetings! I am trying to find information about teaspoons I recently stumbled across. I tried to google "Gerla Silver", which is stamped on it's back but no luck. Can anyone provide any information on these items? Sorry the one spoon on the scan is blurry. Thanks in advance for any help!
