Hi there:
Found a spoon metal detecting and am curious as to what someone might think of it.
I think I found something on this one.
PAGÉ, <em>dit</em> Carcy, JACQUES – Dictionary of Canadian Biography.
Jacques Pagé, dit Carcy, died in Quebec on 2 May 1742, without leaving any descendants. This silversmith had acquired a good reputation, if we are to judge by the numerous references to him in the account books of the religious communities and parishes in the region. Several objects in various collections in the province are attributed to him, among which are some forks and spoons, a cup, some salvers, and a ciborium. The Musée du Québec owns four pieces of Pagé’s work, two soup spoons, a fork, and a salver with the stamp I P above reversed C, crowned with a fleur-de-lis
Great job, Kevin! Judging by your description, you’re definitely right. Congratulations!

Amazing find Kevin, and thanks for linking all that great info. As a Canadian, I’m dying to know where you were metal detecting when you found it?
