Search for buried treasure at Springfield site unsuccessful, but owners of mysterious note vow to keep digging

The Mount Sterling woman and her husband, Buck, spent Sunday afternoon watching a backhoe dig a large hole on a property on North Fifth Street in Springfield. They had discovered an old note months ago that was tucked away in an antique chair, promising $250 in U.S. gold coins that were buried in a lead chest 12 feet below the surface. The note was signed, "Good Luck Chauncey Wolcott."
