    (continued from previous page)
    A long time after this, Patrick King, a native of Ballyglass, found two bars of gold when cleaning a drain. He thought it was not gold but he brought it home and left it near the fire to dry. A tinker came in to sell a few saucepans. When he saw the gold, he asked one bar for a saucepan and Patrick King agreed to give it.
