A GOLD RUSH

A GOLD RUSH



There’s a gold rush in the Kentish seaside resort of Folkestone.

The German artist Michael Sailstorfer buried £10,000-worth of 24-carat gold bars on a beach as part of Folkestone’s arts festival. Whoever found the gold was allowed to keep it. Hundreds of people flocked to the beach, many with spades and some with metal detectors, to search for the 30 gold bars.

The organiser of the arts festival believed that this dig would create a work of art by making sandcastles at the same time as prospecting!

I think it would have been hilarious if a few sunbathers camped out on the beach, with wind breaks staking their patches, refused to move as the prospectors dug up the beach!

A few days after the gold was buried, three friends were the first prospectors to find a gold bar, worth £500. Recounting the moment they found the gold, one of the friends said: “My legs went from under me and I started shaking. I put it quietly in my pocket. We left the beach and half way home, we pulled over for a drink.”

With even greater luck, the three friends found a pub selling beer pulled by penis-shaped bar tap handles with a 24-carat gold-plated finish. You can buy them from Phillip’s Personals, who sell “the finest selection of hand crafted penis hardware, fixtures and fittings” - see photo below!

When’s the last time you built a sandcastle on a beach?
Have you ever used a metal detector?
Do you have much gold in your home?


My last sandcastle built on a beach was about 15 years ago in Portugal, I’ve never played with a metal detector, and I have no gold in my home.

Got no beaches to build sandcastles around here!
I own a metal detector!
I'm not telling you how much gold or silver I have......you might be a robber!

Last summer when I took the grandkids to the beach.

Never used a metal detector.

I have one sapphire and diamond ring set in gold at home.....but apart from that I don't wear jewellery.

I build sand castles often. I am close to the beach and enjoy digging in the sand. I have never used a metal detector...might be fun on some of our uninhabited islands...Might find Blackbeard's treasure!
Not much gold around this house. I am not a fan of gold. I prefer platinum.

There is a difference between a good BJ and a bad BJ.

    At least 30 years ago!
    Have you ever used a metal detector?
    Yes, but only found junk!
    Do you have much gold in your home?
    Just standard gold jewelry 18 carrot stuff and not worth much!
My last sancastle was built about ten years ago on the Algarve in Portugal. I was very proud of my efforts until the tide thoughtlessly ruined it within an hour of its construction.

    Seriously because of the three year drought in California more and more people are finding gold!
I'd like to find that type of gold!

What about Alberta's tar sands to make sandcastles on or with?!

You've beaten me; my last sandcastle I built was about ten years ago. I loved it.

Historically, gold seems to be one of the best investments. It's quite amazing when you think about it. Gold prices go up whenever there's a crisis.

I'd love to take kids to the beach to build sandcastles. The nearest beach to me is almost two hours away.

I'm jealous that you built a sandcastle last week.

    Quoting AmeliaCox:
    If filling one abandoned icecream container with sand and packing it until firm then turning it upside down to create a squarish, semi-domed shaped object made of sand, sitting on top of more sand is creating a sandcastle... It would be at least 35 years ago.

    I've switched a metal detector on in a shop that sells them and waved it around but never for fossicking.

    By gold in my home, I'm guessing you mean the precious metal and not the colour... Maybe half a microgram, at most. Burgling me would have to be a revenge act, not an act of acquirement.
"If filling one abandoned icecream container with sand and packing it until firm then turning it upside down to create a squarish, semi-domed shaped object made of sand, sitting on top of more sand is creating a sandcastle" ... that's the classic sandcastle!

You live near a beach, plus you have a new kitchen, invite me over!

I don't know the name of the pub, but it was pub with hand-pulled beer!

You've been to Cuba - that's worthy of a blog.
