Hunted A Previously Pounded Out Spot...Got Goods And Performed Some Spoon Metamorphosis :smoke:

[John-Edmonton]

What a great day it was. It got up to +10c/+50F which broke some new temperature records. maybe there really is something to global warming? The law which states "A SPOT IS NEVER REALLY HUNTED OUT" prevailed. I hunted in the woods for a couple of hours and worked up a good sweat. I found a small cache of 28 pennies buried underneath a tree, a brass piece off what might have been a trumpet and a couple of forks near some old canning jar lids.....probably an old picnic site.

One of the forks was silver, so I cut, whacked, bent, swore a couple of times and polished up a nice signet spoon (fork) ring. it's been a while since I dug up some silver cutlery....but it's out there.

Below is a pic of the brass end off a trumpet. It appears to have a few years on it and some nice ornate designs.

Nice ring you fabricated out of that silver spoon.
Nice hunt.

I've had the opportunity to hunt several yards around town and there seem to be a couple of constants...I always find rusty nails and at least one spoon. In one lawn I found 3 spoons, but I've found at least one in every lawn I've hunted. Must be the kids. Nice hunt for you. I'm reallly anxious to get back to it but I'm not tough enough to fight 8 inches of frost in the ground. Sigh! eight more weeks.

Very nice way to use your finds..That ring is awesome!
That is either a mouthpiece, or some kind of gas lamp part maybe???
