oo, I just remembered...not exactly treasure though....but I found it!!
I was walking my dogs once on the farm where I live (no animals now, just fields, buildings and mud) and by the barn, I found a little kitten! Great, except this 'kitten', despite having still-closed eyes, really short, foofy hair and displaying other very young kitty traits, it was the size of a small dog. I backed away slowly, for fear of 'mummy' returning....a few weeks after finding the monster kitty, I was walking the dogs again by the barn, and saw what looked like a big spine...looked like a sheep. I had images of a massize black wild cat thing dragging a sheep home to the barn from the fields of sheep opposite.....I don't go down there any more. This was a while ago now, during which time there were a lot of articles on the paper and on local TV news about "The Black Cat of the Midlands" (or words to that effect), all about people who had video footage/photos of this big black jaguar-type creature. Apparently if I'd taken a photo of the thing, I could have sold it for quite a bit..... *kicks self*
