  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    In the district of Drimkeelin, a few miles outside Donegal, there lived a man named James Boyle. One day, while ploughing his land, he unearthed a steel box and on opening it he found two spoons of peculiar shape. The spoons were very heavy and made of silver.
    None of this family lives here now as they emigrated to America some years ago and it is not known what became of the spoons.
