  1. A Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    One day out at the Bragan Mts. There were men ploughing a field & the horse's feet went down in a hole. When they got him up they started to dig & found what seemed to be a kitchen in which were a child's cot & stockings. When they lifted them up they fell into dust. In the kitchen also they found some other gold treasures.
