What Do You All Do With Your Spoons?


Recommended Posts


Most of mine that come up mangled end up in my Box O' Junk, but if I dig an ornate handle it goes in a display box. Got one today, completely pretzeled. Nothing fancy.

And that's about all I got today... 😀 I've dug lots of silverplate, but no solid silver. There's some melt value anyway. 👍

Thanks for looking for that!

As a newbie, my big question always was, “How do people lose so many coins?”

You have just replaced that question with, “How do people lose so many SPOONS?”

Does that make me a veteran?

Those serving spoons are pretty cool. People should keep the pewter spoons as those are very old. Most the ones I find are plated and mangled or they are modern stainless. There is usually brand marks on the underside and you can look them up, some are collectable.

WOW, your spoons are so clean!!!! Now I feel guilty for not cleaning mine. 😄 I have a lot of spoons, so I just separate the pewter ones from the S/S and brass ones. I only have one silver spoon that I found beach hunting. For the future?? I guess they stay in the box unless I get into melting metals.
