Long ago three different men dreamt that there was a lot of gold in this spot, and they agreed secretly to come together and search the place during Mass hour. They did so, and soon after digging a few feet they came to a large stone. Just then a solider with a sword appeared to them on horseback.

An elder tree was seen growing over the spot afterwards.
