  1. There was a serpent guarding this treasure and he would not let anyone go near it, he would bite anyone who would go near it.
    There was a lot of lights often seen where this treasure was hidden. These were supposed to be magic lights. There were supposed to be hidden treasure at the foot of an oak tree in Mrs Harveys forest. When the people around went to dig in it a serpent would not let them go near it because he wanted it for himself.
