A brisk morning for pingin, I went to a site that is mostly late 1700's era stuff from previous hunts. The Electric company just recently chewed up most of the underbrush near a cellarhole that is smack dab under those wires. BTW, the Explorer has not been affected by the power lines whatsoever. 
Under the powerline I got two buttons, one a treble gilt base metal type button and one button that is so plain, it looks like a worn down coin, but is not.
Also got a nice conditioned iron ring and finished up the hunt with the top half of an old spoon, I was hoping it had the Hallmark on it, and after getting home and cleaning it, yes, it does have a Hallmark of +C&S+.
I knew that was familiar and looked at my spoon collection and have an identical hallmarked spoon, much easier to read and also a complete spoon.
If anyone know the rough date of manufacture of these C&S spoons, the knowledge would be appreciated.
I attached a couple photos of the powerline area I hunted and a nearby long gone early 1800's bridge, that the timbers can be seen in the cedar stained waters.....
