Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'What comes now is a spoon of a mixed metal Which was found with the Roman coin of Faustina, which I let you see in Cunningham, in the parish of Stevenston, a little from the shore, about a mile from Saltcoats to the south. There are little blowing hills of sand there, and by the blowing of the sand there begin to appear somewhat like the ruins of a building, and it's here where this spoon was got some years since.
...
I send you likewise part of a fibula of silver or mixed metal. This was got within a mile of Port-Glasgow, by the falling of a brae; and with it a considerable number of Saxon coins, several of which I have.'
(McCrie 1842-3, vol. 1, pp. 171-3, letter 55; Burnett 2020b, p. 811)
