I found this piece today while out detecting in the sun and was wondering if anyone could identify the markings.

Lol, I got that bit.  But who's crest might it be and what of the history of it. I found this whilst walking through a small forest on my way to the field I was intending to visit.

How to identify a Coat of Arms
For identifying British coats of arms the two most important published works are J.W. Papworth's Ordinary of British Armorials, published in 1874 and since reprinted, and The Dictionary of British Arms of which two volumes have so far appeared (vol. 1, edited by D.H.B. Chesshyre and T. Woodcock in 1992, and vol. II, edited by T. Woodcock and J. Grant, in 1996) Both of these works is an ordinary, that is a book which lists arms by their component parts. To be able to use these two works it is necessary to be able to understand how to blazon a coat of arms (i.e. to describe it in heraldic language).

Hi Kane (des) Many thanks, I need all the help I can get, lol. I have also sent images to my FLO, so hopefully, she might come up with something as well.
I'm off again to the same area tomorrow to see what else is hiding out there for me to recover.  Grin

donates the scots.
