   Another legend tells that the Danes were retreating across that portion of the country with a wagon load of plundered gold. The ground being soft, the wagon sank, and the Danes, being too closely pursued, had not time to raise it, so they buried it with the intention of coming back for it at another time. It is said that they never returned and the gold is still buried there. I can not link this story with the gold in the fort however, but I've heard both told several times.
