The next day he found no coins, but that night he was told in a dream to go with another man to the big stone and bring with them a spade, a pitch-fork, a pick, a gun, a cock, and a lamp. The next night the went with the things mentioned and they dug till they came to a big flat stone. The moment they got it lifted, the lamp went out and they looked round and saw a black man. Then they ran home and when Mr Roe was going to work next morning he saw the mark of the pot of gold in the hole which he made.
