寻找失落宝藏的梦想最近几乎成真了。
Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently.
一种名为"探宝器"的新机器已被发明，并被用于探测埋在地下的黄金。
A new machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground.
这台机器被用于海边附近的一个洞穴，据说那里曾经是海盗藏金的地方。
The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where--it is said--pirates used to hide gold.
海盗们过去常常把黄金埋在洞穴里，然后没能回来取走。
The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it.
带着新机器，一支搜寻队进入了洞穴，希望能找到埋藏的宝藏。
Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure.
队长正在检查洞穴入口附近的土壤，这时机器显示地下有黄金。
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.
队员们非常兴奋，挖了一个两英尺深的坑。
Very excited, the party dug a hole two feet deep.
他们最终找到了一枚几乎毫无价值的小金币。
They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless.
搜寻队随后彻底搜查了整个洞穴，但除了一只空的铁箱子，什么也没找到。
The party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk.
尽管如此，许多人仍然相信"探宝器"可能相当快就会揭示出某件有价值的东西。
In spite of this, many people are confident that 'The Revealer' may reveal something of value fairly soon.
