Re: A Rare 16th Century Spoon Mold Find!

Congrats on making the banner. It was well-deserved, Pete!

Also, thank you to johnnyi for staying as peristent as Pete has been with this find; you, sir, have been a great addition to this forum, and I'm not the only one thinking that. You're a wealth of information and I look forward to your future ID assistance and, of course, your killer digs made on the Colonial frontier.

Pete, what more can I say about you? You're amazing, buddy, and that is an understatement!

Kyle

Re: A Rare 16th Century Spoon Mold Find!

My congrats also timekiller on the banner.

This is actually my first post on the forum. I registered and have been 'lurking' for some months, reading with great interest all the finds being made, especially those of great historical import and implications.

All of the reading and research this sets me off to doing, I hope will keep my aging brain cells active enough to ward off dementia! I'm recently retired and have not detected since the mid-70s when I used a Garrett BFO and a Master Hunter TR.
35 years later I'm trying to get back at it. A couple of surgeries have slowed my beginnings, but I am determined to do it.

I got so frustrated reading everyone else's frustrations about the non-banner, that I decided yesterday I would write the site owner. I was sure someone else already had but figured I would worry him too.

Copied below are our emails is my email for your perusal.

I do not have an inkling that my email made any particular difference but it did go BANNER a short while after I wrote. My main point is this will likely happen again so perhaps after a reasonable time all involved could agree for some appointee (no need to flood the guy) to write [email protected] and request him to investigate.

subject Forum Question

Sorry to bother you but I read the forum several times everyday and watch with interest for the rare finds that turn up.

I applaud each one that is found worthy of making the banner. With regard to that, I wonder why it is that a rarity of the level of the spoon mold posted on Oct. 28 by 'timekiller' still has not been 'officially' recognized.

This thread is one of the longest running I have seen in some time and the majority of the posts seem to center around why this hasn't made the banner.

People have voted and voted, but no banner.......in the meantime some less important finds have been posted and made it in almost no time.

I even see people posting in other threads that they are voting banner on the subject of that thread, but don't know if it will do any good. That reflects back on the spoon mold thread.

May I simply ask, 'what's the deal'? and request, along with the hundreds of folks chanting BANNER, please recognize this historic rarity.


Sincerely,
Brent Parks

Re: A Rare 16th Century Spoon Mold Find!

Pete, what can I say? I've been without internet for 4 days, and I come back to find this exactly where it should be!

Congratulations on finding one of the coolest relics I've seen yet. It may look plain, it may act plain, but it speaks volumes as to the extent of use our ancestors had to get when they were first starting out in this new land.

Bravo Sir, I Salute You!

Re: A Rare 16th Century Spoon Mold Find!

It was an honor to serve our country, would do it again in a heartbeat. I was told that there was a huge Confederate camp (quit a few morehead city blocks long) around where the hospital sits. My hunting area was west of New Bern, near Clarks (lived on 90 acre's there, both Confederate and Union camp), I should be getting back down that way come Christmas timeframe to drop off my children at there mothers house in Wilmington, hope to get a few days of digging in.
