  1. About a half a mile from our house in our land a treasure is hidden. It consists of a pot of gold and silver. Three thieves lived together in a small house and plum, and cherry trees near it. Once one of them got sick and until the other two did not take care of him. He got angry and one day when the other two were out he got pot and went out and buried it. He died and the other two never found it. There was a strange coin found in that field a few years ago worth 5d.
