--- first listen and then answer the question.[00:00:05]
--- what did the team find?[00:00:11]
dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently.[00:00:16]
a new machine called 'the revealer' has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground.[00:00:21]
the machine was used in a cave near the seashore where -- it is said -- pirates used to hide gold.[00:00:32]
the pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it.[00:00:42]
armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure.[00:00:49]
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.[00:00:57]
very excited, the party dug a hole two feet deep.[00:01:08]
they finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless.[00:01:15]
the party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk.[00:01:20]
in spite of this, many people are confident that'the revealer'may reveal something of value fairly soon.[00:01:29]
