Title: spoon Post by: cider(martin) on April 28, 2009, 07:52:25 PM I found part of this spoon on a site where in the past ive found roman stuff. I was wondering if anyone knew if its roman or not. I think its made of pewter but not 100% sure, cheers cider ( martin )

Title: Re: spoon Post by: hedgehog on April 28, 2009, 11:11:07 PM I think it is post medieval, hope the handle turns up and there should be some type of markings relating to date on it.
