    Hidden Treasure
    7-12-'37
    A man named Michael Reilly of Corr, in the parish of Ballintemple, Co. Cavan was putting a floor in a stable, and when he was taking out the old floor he lifted up an old flag stone. He saw a lot of coins in under it, and when he lifted it up he came to the conclusion that it was gold Sovereigns, and it made him very rich afterwards.
