- There was a pot of gold found by a man named Lohan about forty years ago under a bush in his own garden in Sylane.
One night he heard a voice calling him three times telling him to go to Limerick Bridge and there he would find his fortune. He went to Limerick and began to walk up and down. A man passing by asked him why he was walking up and down. He said that he was told to go to Limerick and he would find his fortune.
The other man told him to go home that it was all a joke and that he also was told to go to Lohan's garden in Sylane and he would get his fortune under a bush. Lohan said nothing but went home and dug up the bush and found the gold.- Collector
