Her egg, laid to prove production, vanished soon after as authorities compare the eggs to a famed legendary golden egg. The tale parallels a historic goose egg, while observers note the heavy treasure is like thirty pounds in value. In a separate river tale, a turtle catch off Allamson, by John Miller and HH. J. on a yacht La Poupee, nets a 150 pound loggerhead after a two hour struggle with light tackle.
