    beside a little bush at the end of the Cutther, The next night he and his brother set out to seek for the gold. When they had gone down about three feet the found a flag that they were unable to lift.
    Every time they tried to lift the flag there hands became power less. They decided to leave it there and go home and return the next night. The next night they would bring some tools that would lift the flag. When they got there the flag was gone and in the earth there was the track of a pot.
    They went home very disappointed in finding no gold.
