With dreams of finding treasure, Jeremy Mason spent some of the last of the money he had saved on a used metal detector.
Jeremy began his search in the barren fields of his drought-ridden farm, but all he found were bits of old tools and trash.
In frustration, he looked to the old homestead. While he was growing up, Jeremy had often heard stories of how the old folks used to bury their savings in the ground.
There wasn't much left of the house that his great-great Grandfather had built- just the remains of an old chimney and part of the foundation.
Jeremy swept the metal detector across the ground and was rewarded with a strong signal. Excitedly, he began digging and hit something metallic. After more digging, he pulled an old lock box from the ground.
After breaking the rusty lock he pulled the box open. Inside was the gold-framed photo of a child and an old newspaper obituary from 1935.
Jeremy put the photo back in the lock box and gently covered it with earth.
