Buried beneath the golden sands of Folkestone are 30 tiny pieces of not silver, but gold. It’s part of a project by the German artist Michael Sailstorfer, who buried the treasure by hand and there’s no map.
There are two sizes – one worth around ￡250 and other around ￡500 – and it’s finders keepers for anyone lucky enough to unearth one.
Beachcombers with metal detectors are out in force. But the artist has also buried metal washers to try to level the playing field.
It’s thought some gold may already have been found, but there’s plenty left in this art installation. It’s called Folkestone Digs and it’s certainly living up to its name.
