    Hidden Treasure
    About ten years ago my father found a shoe in the bog. He was cutting turf when he got it. It was down seven spits deep. When he got it he looked at it. It had a square heel and a square top. There were no nails or tip on it. The leather was very fresh in it. When he looked at it he threw it away.
