    brought a spade with him. He dug away until he tuched the pot where it was with the spade. On the moment a horse came roaring in the top of the mountain. The man fainted, and rolled down the side of the mountain. He was there for many days without speaking and the priest was brought to him and after a long time he came to. It was said that during this time he was brought with the fairies when he attempted to get the gold. It is said if he had spit on the gold when he saw it, he had it and nothing could touch it.
