This is what we think is a silver spoon my wife found yesterday whilst we were out metal detecting. I have tried to look up the marks myself. The CH could be Charles Hougham, last quarter 18c, the date letter looks like an 'h' so if I am right this would make it 1783/84, however the hallmark book we...

Silver Brooch badge found recently when detecting in an English Field, have checked the file on this site but the hallmarkings do not seem to match what is recorded here, would be nice to find out how old this is.
