Provenance

i) Colchester Hoard (1969)

iv) Loch Doon Hoard 1966)

Peter Woodhead, Ian Stewart and George Tatler, THE LOCH DOON TREASURE TROVE, 1966, BNJ: "Loch Doon lies in the hills on the border between Ayrshire and Kirkcudbrightshire close to the route marked by the great motte at Dalmellington and to a chain of smaller ones, near which another Edwardian hoard was found in 1913, at Carsphairn, some ten miles away. On 19 April 1966 when the level of the loch was fairly low Mr. James T. Buchanan, a young angler from Dalmellington, saw some coins exposed on the bare foreshore near the water edge and gathered up in all 1,843 of them. Another angler, Mr. G. Tulip, helped him and later went back and recovered 44 more, making 1,887 in all."
