TheCaptain couldn't find on 16th Jul 2005 Supposedly near the river Thouet south of Lenay, and it looked easy to find from the map. I looked, but found nothing, despite walking for what seemed like miles. It must be behind the farm somewhere.
One can find coins in the holes near the summit, thrown there by young girls wishing to get married within the year.
