    suspicious of what the digging meant, they carefully routed the expectant gold finder with stones and set to work themselves and succeeded in finding the crock of gold which the other man had dreamt about. The gold fell into the hands of a family called Cronins, who instead of prospering in it fell into misfortune. Tradition states , that it was on account of the wrong way they got the gold that they became so unlucky.
