    One day two young boys were playing together in a field. They were playing tug a war and the rope they had broke and one of the boys fell into a hole that was in the field.
    As he fell some stones gave way and they saw two guns. There was two gold triggers on them.
    No one knew who put them there, but it was known that they where there over a century.
