You will find a small pill bottle filled with trinkets and a log at a most interesting area.
A local told me about this place during a discussion of interesting places in Moore County. It seems that in Cross Hill Cemetery (established 1902) just west of Carthage is a small plot of graves that glow in the dark. During a late evening exploration of the cemetery, we did indeed find a plot containing a number of headstones of white marble that has an eery phosphorescent glow. Although you can easily find this cache during the day, COME AT NIGHT, preferably just after sunset, to appreciate the true effect and strange glow. You won't be sorry you did. There are no gates at the cemetery and the place is open to the public, but of course show the proper respect.
Being that the find is best done at night, we made it pretty easy, especially with the give-away clue.
