Amber waves of grain; silver spoon and coppers

jbrow · Jul 22, 2018

Headed out to the fields today, it was beautiful weather and I love the color of the wheat. Had a very special find today; an awesome silver spoon with etching on the front, with no makers mark, just a hand scribed H B on the back. I was very surprised to find the handle about 10 feet away from the spoon. I never thought I'd find the other half after digging the first piece. I also dug A nice handful older coins and civil war tokens. One token is for CARD PEARCE & CO.HILLSDALE MICHIGAN an agricultural implements supplier. The other token is Child's Die Sinker, 117 1/2 Randolph St Chicago; 1863. I do not know what the brass barbel looking thing is.... happy hunting ! Thanks for looking !

Wow! I’d have a stroke if I had that many old finds in one hunt!

Dang! Looks like a sweet spot you have there! That barbell is interesting, hopefully someone knows what it is.

This was a great outing for sure, in the field rooting through the iron for about 5 hours hunting this old homestead

Thank you ! I really do find these finds amazing too. Especially once I get home and am able to get all the details on them. I find it hard not to field clean them when I find them, but I've ruined a few doing that.

Thank you, I have been fortunate to gain access to spots like this, as a friend of mine puts in a lot of research to locate these.
