Monticello, April 11, 1920 - Two cans comtaining gold, said to be worth between $4,000 and $5,000, were unearthed by Claude Lack while plowing in a 20 acre field near Monticello, according to reports received here. Lack was preparking the ground for spring planting, when his plow came in contact with an immovable object, it is said. Wishing to avoid further inconveniences from the obstacle, the plowman dropped his lines, obtained an iron bar and removed the hidden cans. He was considerably amazed when he found they contained gold. It is believed the gold was buried during the days of the Civil War. [I cracked up when I read this one. I have a casette recording of my aunt, Inis Williams Humprhies, telling this same story. The way she described it the gold was found by Mr. Lack in the Mt. Tabor area]
