Neighbor In Need
It was then he asked one of his neighbors to help him with it. The man had well understood that he would not be able to pull it off on his own. Fortunately, the neighbor was more than happy to help him with his mission. Both the men continued the process. “The hole was full of earth, but with the help of a neighbor, we have managed to get about 17ft deep,” said Colin.
Room Full Of Dirt
The man knew that it was just the beginning. He continued digging. The entire space turned into a trash room with dirt scattered everywhere. His wife even tried to stop him from doing it but the curiosity had taken the best of him. He was not going to listen to anyone. He was sure that the hole was indeed hiding something at the bottom.
Deep And Dark
The well was deep and dark. Colin Steer knew that once they would be done with the hole, they would have to take up the difficult task of cleaning all these up. He wished the hole to be in the backyard as he too did not want to ruin his living room. However, the hope of finding a treasure chest kept him going.
Pot Of Gold?
The man wished to find a pot of gold or anything of the same value at the bottom of the well. He wanted to get enough rich to go on several vacations without bothering about money. He wanted to live a carefree life but does that happens?
Perseverance
Three days passed by but the determination of the two neighbors had not weakened a bit. They would do away with the debris by drawing a bucket in with the help of a rope and pulling it out once it got full of debris. They kept doing it for three days in rows. No need to say that it was a tedious task but the result was worth all this.
Glimpse Of Past
The well that was 30-inch-wide, 33-foot-deep predated to the 16th century. It was an ancient well with an ancient mystery that was going to be unraveled after five centuries. The information took Colin’s curiosity to the next level. There was a lot to find out about this well.
