He only Accepted GOLD in Payment.
BEFORE LEAVING he Pulled out an Old Wooden Trunk.
counted his gold.
put it in the trunk.
secured it with a metal hasp.
knowing he had no room for it,
he decided to hide it nearby.

hmmm....St. Lawrence county is near me and I know a few people who inhabit the islands during the summer....might be fun to research that. As far as the Adirondacks goes good luck. Most of it is State owned Parks and any kind of digging is illegal I believe.
