drp215 Â Â 10 #1 Posted August 16, 2009 We've been looking for a year now and can't find it anywhere! Please help, our children are loving the 'adventure' of the search but we need more information! What we know so far: On Wadsley and Loxley Common somewhere there is a tree that over the years people have pushed money into the bark of Apparently it is near 'the rocks' somewhere? If you follow the stone wall into the forest you 'can't miss it'... But still to no avail! Can anyone give us any more info? Thanks in advance Dawn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

drp215 Â Â 10 #4 Posted August 16, 2009 One of my son's friends has told us about it (his parents backed him up so I do believe him!) Last week I was up there 'kite making' with the rangers - I asked them and they didn't know anything but then a lady with a dog overheard and said, yes it was true there is def. a money tree - she was the one that said follow the wall into the forest. We tried again this Sunday but it's a big forest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
