Sheesh! After being away from metaldetecting for about 5 years, I remember now how discuraging it can be at times. I went out today for the first time "in forever". The first place I found was a house trailer. Yep.....you heard me right, but what I noticed was an old stone spring house in the side of the hill beside it. I stopped and asked. The elderly lady told me there had been a house there that had burnt down around 1920 or so. I spent the next 5 hours there swinging. Total take......5 memorials and this spoon.
Above the face on the handle it has the date 1898. Below the face it has 1492. On the "bowl" of the spoon it has an engraving of a building and under that it says "transportation building". No idea what it is, but guess it is some kind of suvenier or collection type spoon. No real value, but kinda cool.
Next I went to the foundation of an old church. The sand stone step is about all that remains, with the date 1822 carved into it. There was a small grave yard beside it with the latest date on any stone being 1866. Totally got skunked at this one. Wouldn't ya think............................. lol
