    29-11-37 Hidden Treasure
    There were two workmen one time digging a ditch in Bullick and they came across what looked like hidden treasure and they dug until they came to a flag. Then they were called home to dinner and they went to dinner intending to root up the flag when they came back. But too late somebody lifted the flag and got the treasure, and the two workmen got none of it.
