No .The mythology associated with a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow was perpetuated by the Leprechaun's themselves. Back around 6000 years ago a Leprechaun from what is now know as West Cork in Ireland was captured by a Celt who refused to let him go unless he was told where the Leprechauns kept their gold.
The Leprechauns companions created a false trail and hid a small amount of gold at a point where through their magical qualities they created a Rainbow without sun or rain -he end of which fell at the point where the gold was buried.
When the Celt began to dig he came across a small piece of gold and is excitement he let the Leprechaun go. This started the myth and it passed down through the generations So its true to say wherever you see a rainbow now that there is no pot of gold of it. In fact the gold is anywhere except there and thats what keeps it safe.
