  1. There is a treasure hidden in Baywood mountain. It consists of silver and gold. The Danes were supposed to place it there. No one knows the exact spot where the treasure is hidden. That is why no one tried to unearth it.
    There were never any treasures found about our district. There were never any stories told about the Danes. People never saw this hidden wealth at any time. The fairies were seen playing music about this rock. Long ago people were very afraid to go near this rock. The fairies were supposed to safeguard this hidden wealth. That is the reason the people would not go near it.
