Buried Silver Along Big Branch Creek.  Jackson M. (called "Jack" or "Jackie") Clemons is believed to have buried a bucket full of silver coins on his property before his death, which location he never revealed.  He lived along the Big Branch Creek about a mile east of Kragon and 3 miles southeast of Quicksand in Breathitt County with his wife Eliza and seven children, and died some time after 1920.  The house is said to still be standing on the south side of the creek.   (Map of the Area)
