:15:25. > :15:28.their kids, young and old are digging with shovels, desperately
:15:29. > :15:34.trying to find the gold ingots which have been buried in the sand here.
:15:35. > :15:40.It is amazing, I haven't seen this before. The ultimate treasure hunt
:15:41. > :15:46.here in South Folkestone. Digging for gold on the beach in Folkestone.
:15:47. > :15:56.Have you found anything? No. Do you think you'll find anything maybe we
:15:57. > :16:05.found a wooden boat, a bit of wood and some metal plates. We live
:16:06. > :16:11.locally anyway, we like coming to the beach, to give them a reason to
:16:12. > :16:15.dig holes, have a family get`together, it is a nice thing to
:16:16. > :16:20.do. Some people had a more high`tech approach to their search. What we
:16:21. > :16:28.are looking for is a certain number on here. We are looking for number
:16:29. > :16:40.37, that is a number for gold. But it backtrack `` it discriminates
:16:41. > :16:50.against other types of metal, so we should find one. Have you? Is it
:16:51. > :17:01.cheating gritter Mark not really, we're just using technology `` is it
:17:02. > :17:06.cheating? The tide meant the window for digging had gone, but as the
:17:07. > :17:13.tide disappeared, so too did the treasure hunters. We know there were
:17:14. > :17:18.two found in the afternoon. It is not a hoax then? Absolutely not, I
:17:19. > :17:25.held them in my hand and helped buried them. I know roughly where
:17:26. > :17:33.they were, but now? Who knows. After all the digging... If you are down
:17:34. > :17:44.here and need help, this is what you should be looking for. Joining me
:17:45. > :17:52.now is the event organiser. Has anything changed since last we
:17:53. > :17:57.spoke? There is a rumour, as you can imagine no, some people are keeping
:17:58. > :18:03.quiet if they find one. There is a rumour wanders onto this afternoon.
:18:04. > :18:10.Three in total, it is a rumour. You don't never sure if any have been
:18:11. > :18:16.found, do you? , no we don't, they are only buried about this shallow,
:18:17. > :18:22.I think it is very probable that people will find one. About 24 hours
:18:23. > :18:27.a into the announcement, do you know all of them will be found? It could
:18:28. > :18:32.be years, couldn't it? You could be coming down here as an old man onto
:18:33. > :18:37.these beaches and find a piece of gold. It might be a long time, but
:18:38. > :18:41.I'm sure a number will be found over the weekend. Thank you for joining
:18:42. > :18:46.us. The sun is coming down here, night time is coming, no doubt, the

:19:32. > :19:38.gold. And driven music, dance and mine. There was performances to
:19:39. > :19:44.entice families to Kent University this weekend. I think that children
:19:45. > :19:49.had been underserved in terms of the arts for far too long. For a
:19:50. > :19:52.university, it is a brilliant way for us to engage the community and
:19:53. > :19:56.the children to come onto a university campus. There are some
:19:57. > :20:04.pretty slick looking shows like this one. It is a touring performance
:20:05. > :20:10.from Italy mixing dance and computer technology. It is fun because we do
:20:11. > :20:15.it a lot of times in different places and it is never the same.
:20:16. > :20:20.Also because the children are different, but all the situations
:20:21. > :20:29.and countries are different. It each show is different. We never know how
:20:30. > :20:34.it will be. There is an emphasis on participation for all. The bounce is
:20:35. > :20:39.an experience for autistic youngsters. When you are bouncing,
:20:40. > :20:47.you can ask for more bounce if you feel like more. It really is a lot
:20:48. > :20:53.of sensory experience. We can adapt to exactly what they want so
:20:54. > :20:57.everybody gets a magic carpet ride. Many of the events are free. The

:21:22. > :21:35.A quarter of a million visitors came to the Bluebell Railway in a year of
:21:36. > :21:40.its connection to the mainland. Two years ago, we were a ?3 million

:21:58. > :22:02.that the original parliamentary act which created the line said it was a

:22:09. > :22:14.reluctant British rail only run trains that were of no use to
:22:15. > :22:19.commuters or shoppers. As the line was little used, they got approval
:22:20. > :22:25.from Parliament to close it. Bluebell Railway is a business which
:22:26. > :22:33.can only survive due to the support of a volunteer workforce. We in the

:22:40. > :22:43.It is part of our job to keep the schedule. Since its creation, the
:22:44. > :22:48.Bluebell Railway was changed from a project run by a band of enthusiasts
