Went to a abandoned house in the woods today and found a thin copper piece “W of the W” a Midget car from Rockford ILL and a marble in the same hole and a beautiful Sterling Silver cheese knife. Everything’s from the 1930’s. Hope everyone had a blessed Christmas. IMG_1944.JPGIMG_1945.JPGIMG_1946.JPGIMG_1947.JPGIMG_1948.JPGIMG_1949.JPGIMG_1952.JPG

Sweet! That silver spoon weighs more than all of the silver I've found combined! What the heck is the W of the W thing?
 

The way of the world sweet finds . Hope you had a nice Christmas I wish I had decent weather I would be out also well the weather doesn't bother me its all that white stuff Thanks for posting your hunt
 

I’m pretty sure the W of the W piece is “Woodsmen of the World”
I haven’t found any images of your piece, but it’s pretty cool.
Google it, you will see it’s likely spot on
 

Nice stuff. I have only found 1 marble...ever. Like the spoon. I found a butter knife earlier this year., and a nearly destroyed ca1800 spoon, which I had restored. I'm still surprised we can find silver like this in the ground.

Thanks Dave appreciate the tip. “W of the W” wasn’t coming up with anything.

Dang smokey 1 marble? Lol I’ve been lucky then I’ve found 6 glass marbles this year and 2 clay. I️ remember thinking “Wow how a marble can light up my life these days”. Lol

Congratulations on that sweet silver and marble truth.
 

Marble, little hot rod and silver... yeah man, that’s a sweet hunt. I really like the sterling knife. Somebody was furious when that went missing.

Good luck!
 

Beautiful cheese knife, congratulations! :occasion14:
