Remaining items of the hoard were found later at the mound, and were turned over to the landowner, General Philip Durham.

Consisting of 170 pieces of primarily hacksilver, the treasure also contains complete silver metalwork, including a penannular brooch, a leaf-shaped oval plaque with Pictish symbols, a large hand-pin, and a worn spiral finger-ring.

The hoard also contained two Late Roman coins which were melted down and sold soon after the initial discovery.

Buist had pewter copies made of two objects from the hoard, the decorated plaque and the large hand-pin.

The Largo estate passed to Lilas Dundas Calderwood Durham (Mrs Robert Dundas of Arniston), who donated most of the surviving hoard pieces to the Museum of Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, now the National Museum of Scotland, in 1864.

The silver copies of the Pictish-decorated plaque and large hand-pin, were believed until recently to be original early medieval metalwork.
