Gentleman's Magazine 1855 part 2 p.177  "In draining some fields at Scotby, near Carlisle, a number of Saxon coins and some bars of silver have recently been found, together with an iron instrument of the shape of a small billhook. The coins are in an excellent state of preservation, and their examination will probably afford some information to numismatists."
