- Two men heard that there was gold hidden in Knockfierna. Only one man went for the gold. When the man dug for the gold he got only a bag of flies. The man carried the bag of flies to the other man's house and put it under the door. When the man got up in the morning he found a bag of gold instead of the bag of flies.

Got from my father Pat Cronin age 56 - A man heard that there was gold hidden near Bennetts of Ballinahar Ballingarry. The man dug for the gold. When he was digging for the gold a turkey cock followed him to his own house. The man was in a faint until the morning. In the morning the turkey cock was dead outside the door.
