Pot of Gold
I heard a story about Lake Sheelin They say that a pot of gold is to be seen resting on the bottom of the Lake on a glorious summer's day
The pot is now old and rusty There is a submerged platform leading from the mainland to Castle Island
I heard a man put chains on the pot and he and other men tried to pull it up but no one could move it.
