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 feel 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.
找到失去的财宝的梦想最近几乎实现了。一种叫“探宝器”的新机器已经发明了，它已被用来检测黄金已埋在地下。这台机器是用在海岸附近的一个山洞里的地方——这是说——海盗过去惯常把黄金藏。海盗们过去常把金子埋藏在山洞里，可后来却没能取走。带着这台新机器，一个探索队进入了这个岩洞，希望找到埋藏的宝藏。当这个队的队长正在检查洞口附近的土壤时，那台机器显示地下有黄金。非常激动，就地挖了一个两英尺深的坑。他们最后找到的是一枚几乎一文不值。在整个洞彻底搜寻了一遍，但除了一只空铁皮箱外什么也没找到。尽管如此，许多人相信“探宝器”可能不久揭示一些有价值的东西。
