Found February 2013.
This spoon came out on pasture at my buddies permission. It has no silver marks but as you can see it has 1712 inscribed on it. This made it just over 300 years old and as its precious metal it had to be reported as a possible treasure trove find. To date it is still with the FLO officer.

WOW, impressed.
ReplyDeleteHope I can get as good at getting the good stuff mate.
To be honest, I'd love to find anything valuable of course, but just getting out and the thrill of the hunt and wondering who held the item last and how long ago etc does it for me.
Love your blog mate, pics, saying which type of ground and what detector was used etc.
Nice one mate.

Hi Matthew, It sounds like you have the right approach to metal detecting. Just remember its mostly luck and perseverance. Its out there just waiting for you to walk over it.
DeleteGood luck.
