- This is a story which I heard from a friend about a crock of gold. This crock of gold is to be found in a sandpit in the district of Dangan. Recently two men of that district dug down about twenty feet in the ground. They found five or six bricks but then got tired of digging, but as this man told me they weill continue their search. There is a white-thorn bush beside the pit and people say that if you touch this bush you would have a broken leg or hand between that and the end of the same year.

- I heard at home of a crock of gold that was hidden up at Lisfucheon by the side of an elderberry tree at about the time of penal days. It is said that the English soldiers hid it but when they returned it is said that they could not discover the right tree.
