The Miller’s Yard Mystery
Down toward Dungannon just below the train yard called Miller’s Yard where Little Stony Creek enters the Clinch River an eldery gentleman lived with his oldest daughter. As with many older folks the gentleman didn’t like or trust banks and kept his money hid somewhere close to home. It seems that this gentleman was also a coin collector and had quiet a few gold and silver coins buried in quart and half gallon canning jars.
After his death his daughter contacted my father and requested help in locating his buried coins. She agreed to split evenly anything we found.
According to her, her father would come home with newly acquired coins for his collection and go out the back door towards the river with a shovel. He would only be gone for 15-20 minutes before returning. Though we searched several times we found nothing. So somewhere on Route 72 near where Little Stony Creek joins The Clinch River are several canning jars of gold and silver coins waiting to be found.
