- Some hidden treasure is supposed to be in my father's farm. It is under a large flag stone. It is not known by whom it was placed there, but it is said it was placed there by some old persons who lived in the interior of the land, because there are the ruins of an old house, a fort, and an underground cave in the western side of the land.
So far no attempts have been made to unearth the treasure. There are two stones together. One is a tall flat stone, and the other is a large stone the shape of a coffin. No none knows under which of these stones the treasure is, but it is said that it is under the coffin-shaped stone.
Some people say that under the large coffin-shaped stone some one is buried, and the high stone represents a headstone.
