A huge hoard of silver coins dating back to the aftermath of the Battle of Hastings could be declared as treasure.
The 2,528 silver coins were found in the Chew Valley, north-east Somerset, by a group of metal detectorists.
Lisa Grace and Adam Staples, who unearthed the bulk of the hoard, said: "We've been dreaming of this for 15 years but it's finally come true."
The British Museum said it was the second largest find of Norman coins ever in the UK.
