Copper? Spoon

Is anyone familiar with these markings? We dug it up in my MIL yard which has a 108 yr old house.

 

Welcome, Christine. Is the house in the US?

The business end of the item looks more like it was a butter knife than a spoon (unless what would have been the rounded sides have been folded in toward the middle?)

I don't see anything that looks like a maker's mark, but I do see some faint impressions of design that reminds me of the "aesthetic period" roughly 1880s to about 1900. With copper left behind from it's time underground, probably silverplated originally.

 

For some reason I cannot read the first line of your reply, INH. But definitely looks like a less damaged version of the OP's spoon
