Treasure in the form of seven hammered silver coins has been found in the Carlisle area. The collections of pennies, which date back to 1280 - 1307 during the reign of King Edward I, were found by metal detecting enthusiast Ian Hughes. The 64-year-old of Belle Vue, Carlisle, has been metal detecting for more than 30 years. "Once I found more than two I knew it was going to happen [they would be deemed treasure]," he said.
