spoon is a piece from a trifid/trefid spoon - yes circa mid-late 1600s
I'd hammer that spot again
 

Man oh man you got an old site. I'd hunker down because you could really find something like a Mass shilling there. I mean there is a real good shot at something super there.
 

Need to see back of coin. What do you mean by "rider"? Britania?? By obverse it appears as though "Georgivs" is on the right hand side. Can't find an example like that.
 

The coin is a 1690's William III halfpenny, Great find! the trifid spoon is also great! GL HH
 

Looks like you found a SWEET spot. And you get to hunt it with a buddy. What could be better than that? :thumbsup:
 

Yup Scottso nailed it 1695-1701 William III .....That spoon frag rocks too :thumbsup:
 

thank you ! very interesting :occasion14:
