The following extract from Hector Boece (born circa 1465, died 1536)
shows that a hoard was found in Fife in the 15th century, but does not
enable us to identify it.

The coins with the ship's beak may be of Republican issue and, in this
case, the hoard may be one of Imperial denarii from Nero onwards, with
which the Republican issues, e.g., of Antony, are often found.
