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.&
