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.

"You just get a kind of buzz. Not so much because you are finding silver or gold. It's just the history behind it.

"You are the first person to hold it within 700/800 years."
