- Not long ago a man living near Mount Dillon bog hid a saucepan full of gold in the bog.
Every night lights were seen at the place and one day a man went to look for it. The people living near it told him the lights were seen in front of the mountain but the whole bog was in front of the mountain. Although he and other people spent many days looking for it they never found it.- Collector
