There was a man living in Camross one time. One day he was going through some fields and he found a box of things like coins. He picked them up and looked at them. He thought they were of no value and he threw them away but he put two or three on them out to show them to another man, and he found out that they were gold sovereigns. He went back to where he got them but he could get no more.
