Hanna lives alone at the foot of Fortune Hill, with just a dog and a billy goat for companionship. His singular claim to fame rests on the fact that he is the last survivor of three boys who once played marbles with a legendary cache of gems they came across in one of the giant solution holes that honeycomb the land around Fortune Hill.

Wow A treasure EYE witness.

Just a few thoughts but don't kids usually take the marbles home that they find so they can play with them later?

So what happened to the 55 gallon drums of gold, wouldn't that have made the news someplace?

They have a location why didn't they go back once they realized what is there long ago?

Why if there is a "Cave" are they wanting to dig up the hill?

Hands up anyone who would not have taken ANY of the gems/gold home with them if they found something like this as a kid. Even kids that had no 'treasure hunting' mentality.


"I used dowsing rods to find the cache ...

Oops, the credibility just keeps getting better.
