I’d say it was originally silver plated, with the copper as just a base for the plating.
The shape looks like an apostle spoon... I don’t know when they started to be made but the ones here are said to be mid 20th century by the seller:

I don't search inside the tomb yet.
I found it in the entrance of the tomb.
Mybe, the owner of the spoon has searched before me for a century.

Given its age, I would suspect this is the case. Perhaps the previous treasure hunter had a meal outside the tomb before he started searching!

I love finding old cutlery, it gives searching for relics that immediate human aspect.

Graveyards and Tombs are NO - NO's for metal detectorists .
Atleast it is for me.

Tomb?? Like in graveyard tomb??

All in the rocks and caves .
Near the tombs caves for living and a well in the rock.
This area is old for more two thousands years .
All in my field . Among olive trees .
