Morning Pepper.
Thanks for recognizing this Jim.
When it came out of the ground my first thought was, wow this still has a lot of the silver-plate left on it.
But after I washed it I thought, man why is the metal turning white, it must be a chemical reaction to the dish soap I use.
It was only after I straightened it out that I saw the 'STERLING' mark.
congrats dave.....I love all my sterling ware finds. I guess I'm lucky as I've found about a dozen pieces.....almost all are spoons with the exception of 1 fork. Now for the embarrassing part.....a couple weeks ago I was down island hunting one of the islands where I often find silverware. I knew there was at least one spoon there because I forgot it in the bush on a previous hunt. So I start working my way towards where I think I left the silver spoon.....before I can get there I found another silver spoon. I put it in my pocket and continued the search for the first spoon. I never found that first spoon but was feeling good about the other spoon in my pocket !! Well when I got to the car and was packing up.....no spoon in my pocket....it fell out somewhere in the bush !! I'll have to go back now and find them both.
