Nothing fancy but this is only the second Sterling spoon that I have ever found. The other was in a schoolyard and I figured that some kid had taken it from the lunch room. I never noticed that it was silver until I got home. I find plated items all the time.

Bump since I've seen a few silver spoon finds lately..

<°)))>{

That FIRST spoon you posted is amazing !!

funny a few posts down it said silver at 33 a troy oz..

not that I would EVER sell that spoon you found seems it's value got cut in half in the last 5 years.. something wrong with that.

once again LOVED the original spoon you found !

Here is one I found last year, but I did not see your thread at the time.
While I have found close to 100 spoons, this is the only silver one:D

All these spoons are just worth melt value though. They have no intrinsic value. A refiner would just melt them. No one is going to want to use used silver spoons and there isn't a big collectors market on them either. Basically only valued for the metal content.

I'm still waiting to find my first silver spoon either by detecting or in the wild.
 
Does this one count? Ha! I dug it this morning it’s a pin or brooch....

Landing stage liverpool 1903 spoon

This spoon was found next to the entrance of a building that was taken down. It was an empty lot. The people who got off the ships in our port checked in here for work and a place to live. This was a souvenir in the gift shop at landing stage Liverpool England in the early 1900’s. It has engravings of a dock and ship in the spoon part.
