    Hidden Treasure
    There is a field in the district known as the "Cropocs". Some people say there is a crock of gold hidden in this field. It is supposed to be hidden in the ditch. I never heard of anyone ever looking for it. People say you should never dig for gold because if you get it you will have no luck with it or something will happen.
