Hi All

Managed to sneak a few hours in this afternoon. Had a few intersting finds....

The first object seems to be some sort of silver/pewter spoon with the handle missing,very decorative. The other could be a coin that was worn as a necklace of some sort - I can make out the words 1930 third jubilee and the name Robert - sorry can't make out the rest. Also has a picture of someone on the other side, would like to know who this is if possible.

I also found this small silver object which appears to be encrusted in tiny diamonds,no hallmark but does have the word 'silver' on the reverse.

Sorry for long post, any help on ID's would much appreciated as always.

Cheers
Charlie

Interesting finds. The medallion celebrates the 'Third Jubilee' (150 years) of Robert Raikes' Sunday School movement. See here (scroll down about halfway) for information:

I'm wondering if the first item isn't a spoon but one side of a pair of tongs Huh

Nice finds Charlieboy!! I can help you out on the Leaf object, that kind of jewelry is referred to as "Marcasite Jewelry". It's typically been fashionable from late Victorian to Edwardian times, although its been worn all the way through to present day, but I wouldn't have any hesitation in saying its at least c1910 or older. And the leaf would be sterling silver, the stones Marcasite, which is Iron Pyrite "Fools Gold".

Excellent! Thanks everyone for your responses.Don't think I'll ever cease to be amazed at the diversity of items lying in beneath the ground.

Think you might be onto something with your 'tong theory' Chef,  it would account for the shallow profile the 'spoon'.

Cheers
