  1. Hidden Treasures

    Share Share Post
    There is a field about half a mile distant from my house, where a treasure is supposed to be hidden This field belongs to Abraham Treacy. The treasure is supposed to be hidden under a lone tree. The person who hid the treasure is not known. No one ever tried to find the treasure. It was guarded by lights for some time. It was hidden over one hundred years ago. The treasure consists of gold and silver.
