<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chip Kirkpatrick, post: 4608638, member: 101265&quot;]Here is the silver Scottish medallion I found metal detecting at the Florida Georgia border. It’s engraved with numerous historic Scottish emblems, logos, phrases and mottos. On the top of the front side is a lion. To the left of it is a plant called Rew or Rue which is medicinal and to the right is a thistle, the national flower of Scotland. These 3 items appeared on the first recorded Scottish crest. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are 2 Kirkpatrick family mottos engraved. On the front is TOUCH AND I PEARCE (Pierce) used by my ancestors during the Wallace Wars (his initials and an incorrect date of his death appear below). On the back is I MAK SICKER (I Make Sure) uttered by another ancestor as he helped Robert the Bruce murder Red Comyn at the alter of the Greyfriars Church which allowed Bruce to claim the Throne.
