Default I dug a strange spoon.

So I went out early this morning. With the temps in mid 90 it is about the only time for hunting.

I was at an older empty lot and got a nice hit. Dug down and spotted what I thought was an pushpin. Kept digging spotted a spoon. Well next to the spoon was a hypoderm needle. The back side of the spoon was blackened. So now I know what the small pin was. I will be honest this was kind of a creepy dig. I did clean the spoon and kept it, stainless, Beale.

I would have left that spoon there! I'm terrified of diseases/germs

The spoon and hypo had both been there a while. The hypo was put into a hazmat bag at my work (local hospital). I guess I wasn't to concerned about the spoon. Working in a hospital kina does that to you, Beale.

Default Spoon

After spending 27 years in Law Enforcement...I would say that you found a hypo and cooker. Spoon was probably used for cooking coke or herion.

Hey Pappy, that was my thought exactly, Beale.

Very different find there. I have a bad habit of reaching into my digging hole and pulling out loose dirt and that would've been a bad find to do that on.
