So I've been hunting my front yard since it's easier to dig (less big rocks) and it's close to a road that dates back to the 1860's or so.
Anyway, I have a ton of trash in my yard - mainly nails and foil. Most things date to the 1960's or 70's.
After work, I take my detector outside and right away I get a good signal on it and end up digging a good 7 inches before I saw silver. (I'm using a Garrett Ace 400 btw)
So...I start getting excited and hope it's a coin and get my camera (I'm a newbie, easily amused I suppose)
okay, at thing point, I realize what it is and that it's not a coin. Poop. Oh well!
I think everyone else can figure out what it is now.
Yep, it's a spoon. Heavy and sort of large though.
The back is stamped with the words "Slocum Helmet Brand." I can't find info about the company - only Etsy and eBay listings. Oh well.
At that point, I think I won't find anything else today but I found two pennies a couple feet away in a different hole and one was a Wheatie (1953 D) Not bad. I wonder what other interesting things are in my yard [emoji2]
