Nice collection, Dave. Makes you wonder why there's a preponderance of lost spoons, instead of forks and knives. Do people just like to throw away their spoons? I think spoons are very helpful. Poor spoons.

I was wondering about the spoons I was finding. Maybe people were using them as tools? Nice collection.

Nice collection Dave! I wonder if those spoons were being used to dig in the dirt and make mud cakes? I remember kids doing that when I was growing up. Interesting!

Nice collection. Hmmm I remember as a kid I used to "borrow" my Mom's spoons to dig in the backyard. Haven't found one yet.
