  2. 6. It is said that there is a cave in Garbally and there is money in it. It belongs to the English Soldiers. People have tried to dig it up but they could not get it because inside in the cave there is a door made of iron, which cannot be opened.
    Our house is situated in a part of Garbally and when my father was digging the garden he found a coin and it is about a hundred years old. Some people say it must have belonged to the English Soldiers when they were in Garbally.
