Alright guys so I've hot this area HARD. I've found old wheats oldest being 1909. They're were about 5 houses on this property ranging from 1800s-1975. I thought I'd find a silver coin but no I got a sterling soup spoon!! This is my first silver in the upstate and first silver at this spot and first silver utensil. They had just torn down two old trees. They were HUGE and this was under it

If possible how old do you think it is?

I'm going through such a dry spell I'd drill a hole in that spoon and wear it on a chain around my neck.

This is only my third silver thing in 4 years! That's what you call a dry spell! One of those silvers was a war nickel (35% silver). I'm in the right spots though
