I have a NZSCo silver pickle fork - years ago as a student I was doing practical engineering hours and worked on a dredger in Waitemata Harbour - and it was amazing the amount of crockery and cutlery that had been dumped or lost over the side. I had one or two other random items - including a heavy-duty RN mug, but lost in one of my many, many moves.
