TWO 14th century coins found in a field have been declared treasure trove.
Ron Blair, 60, of Windermere Avenue, Clitheroe, and son James, 37, of Nelson Street, found 30 medieval coins on a metal detecting expedition near Clitheroe last August.
The final two coins from the find were ruled on by an inquest in Blackburn and are being kept at the British Museum, London.
Due to the nature of the coins and their quantity, they have been classified "treasure trove" and must be valued before being offered for sale to museums Among the coins were pennies, halfpennies, groats and half groats from the time of Edward I and Edward II, Henry V and Henry VI.
