After years of "cheap-a$$" flatware. . . finally!
After digging the woods for the past three years, my streak of "plated-only"
flatware FINALLY came to an end
I've must have dug close to 100 pieces like this. . . lost mostly by Scouts during
their "week-enders" in the woods (I've also got a few of their pocket-knives too
)
But finally, this Sterling spoon popped out of the woods on Sunday. It's a 1902 "Watson Silver"
spoon. . . "5:00 O'CLock Teaspoon Lily Pattern" to be exact. . . with the name "Joan" engraved
on the front.
Along with "Joan's" spoon
, I also recovered a pewter flat button, a 1930 Wheat, and a
day or two earlier in the same area, a 1945-S war nickel.
On my way back to the car, I did manage a 1920 Merc that was heavily-guarded by pull tabs
along the trail. . . (my silver coin streak is still alive but, for how long is another mystery :P)
Thanks for looking!
