I remember to hear the old people talking about a firkin of gold that was uried in Bilboa, in the parish of Cappamore, Co. Limerick. They went to dig one night for it and it seems when they were coming near the gold some visible signs came about there that made them retreat. About the same time it was an old custom to have horses tied in some part of their houses at home belonging to the parties that were diggin for the gold. About the same time the horse was brought from the end of the house and knocked across the fire. They were driven away from where they were digging. A while after they were digging in the same place and it seemed that the gold was removed but it there ever since.
