Ever wonder why we sometimes find sterling silver spoons, or similar utensils in trash pits and dumps? A good theory is the Tuberculosis epidemic of the late 19th century, early 20th. People were so scared of TB, they just threw everything out belonging to the person who was infected. Houses were even burned to the ground because of it. I found a sterling silver spoon in Ashland PA in a dump, and wondered how it got there. There was a number of TB cases throughout the years there. Perhaps that's how that spoon got there...
