Joseph Loring Boston Mass. Silver Spoon

Engraved Joseph Loring Boston Mass. Silver Spoon

I've been working a new permission field for a few days and finally narrowed down the main part of the iron bed. Then the buttons started coming one after another. I'm sure you guys know how exciting this can be. Not knowing what the next swing of the detector will reveal! I'll let the pictures tell the story. The spoon was bent and twisted in a circle straight from the ground so I did what any average person of low intelligence would do. Try to straighten it out a little. Nuff said. Here's my sign. Broke it right in half. I know, I'm wiping the tears away as I write. I completely quit wiping coins though for what its worth. Anyway. An 1839 holed half dime, an 1829 half cent, a blank silver cut something, lots of flat buttons, some cleaned and some not. A thimble, and does anyone know how rare the spoon is? And a mystery brass item. Good Hunting!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Loring

Those coins are in rough shape but MUCH better than anything I've had lately! How'd you clean the half cent? Nice hunt!

Windex....triple a steel wool. It was toasted!

those are some nice finds, I found a mangled 1700's silver spoon made from coin silver in rough shape like that and had it restored by a silversmith, it is now one of my favorite finds

Nice finds!
Probably not much you could have done to save that spoon...
It is an old one for sure!
