Found this spoon the other day. It had green patina on it so I assumed it wasn't anything special and threw it in the bag. Cleaned it up last night and found that it had a date on it; April 21 1836. Jumping with joy for my oldest find, my wife quickly burst my bubble when she looked it up. It's a centennial commemorative spoon from a jeweler in Dallas. But 1936 is still pretty awesome. A few hours over two days of digging got me a few wheats (oldest a 1919), a silver 44 nickel, 67 quarter, a pocket knife and what looks like a button. Oh, and Tim's dog tag.

Your collection of goodies shows why you have to dig it all

nice finds - the spoon is cool even if it was not actually from the time period of the battle.
Keep hunting that area!
