Wow...their in awesome shape for being dug. Congrats. I dug many spoons but most are twisted and bent. Only found one that was silver in great shape.

these are in shockingly good shape being they went thru the "great 1901 jacksonville , florida fire"--how they survived intact like this who knows?

lol...My wife gave me a nice digital camera a few years back and after I opened it she grabbed it and now I have to ask her when I need it. Then she got concerned I may 'accidentally' erase family pictures so I had to buy my own memory card. So now when I borrow my camera I have to take out the original memory card that came with my gift and replace it with another memory card I had to go out and purchase...sometime you just can't win.
