  • Lesson 55 Not a Gold Mine

  • What did the team find?

  • Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently.

  • A new machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented

  • and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground.

  • The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where--it is said--pirates used to hide gold.

  • The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it.

  • Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure.

  • The leader of the party was examining the soil near the entrance to the cave when the machine showed that there was gold under the ground.

  • Very excited, the party dug a hole two feet deep.

  • They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless.

  • The party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk.

  • In spite of this, many people are confident that 'The Revealer' may reveal something of value fairly soon.
