Boo Radley
Boo Radley was the one who placed the treasure in the hole in a tree. Then Jem and Scout found that said treasure later on. It was two dolls that resemble each person.
Jem and Scout discover that Mr. Radley has cemented up the knothole in the oak tree where they had been finding all the treasures.
Jem suspects that Boo Radley is leaving gifts and treasures in the tree for him and Scout. He believes that Boo is trying to communicate with them in a secretive and friendly way.
The tree with a knothole in "To Kill a Mockingbird" symbolizes hidden treasures and acts as a place where Boo Radley can subtly communicate with Scout and Jem. It also represents empathy, understanding, and the innocence of childhood.
Boo left small gifts and treasures in the knothole of the tree for Scout and Jem, such as gum, Indian-head pennies, and soap carvings.
They find chewing gum, two pennies, and a ball of twine, soap carvings of themselves, and a pocket watch that doesn't work. Boo Radley leaves these treasures for Scout and Jem, and they keep them safely in a trunk in Jem's room.

Scout and Jem believed the ball of gray twine was meant for them because it was found in the knot-hole of a tree near their house where they had previously been leaving and finding treasures. They interpreted the gift as a gesture from Boo Radley, who they believed was trying to communicate with them.
Boo Radley leaves the presents for Scout and Jem in the knothole of the tree near the Radley house.
