[00:00:01] --- lesson 55 not a gold mine

[00:00:05] --- first listen and then answer the question.

[00:00:11] --- what did the team find?

[00:00:16] dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently.

[00:00:21] a new machine called 'the revealer' has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground.

[00:00:32] the machine was used in a cave near the seashore where -- it is said -- pirates used to hide gold.

[00:00:42] the pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it.

[00:00:49] armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure.

[00:00:57] 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.

[00:01:08] very excited, the party dug a hole two feet deep.

[00:01:15] they finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless.

[00:01:20] the party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk.

[00:01:29] in spite of this, many people are confident that'the revealer'may reveal something of value fairly soon.
