It would appear that the pot of gold is firmly located in the old lock keeper's cottage by Foxton Top Lock. This had been a very wet day with a brief burst of sunshine mid-afternoon.
Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section)/Soar Navigation

The Leicester section branches off the main line at Braunston and it is 66 miles long with 59 locks (including two five chamber staircase locks at Foxton) and two tunnels. Near Leicester it continues into the River Soar, and briefly along the River Wreake. The navigation then proceeds along the river, with some canalised diversions, to Loughborough and the River Trent south of Long Eaton.
