In Our World - Persistence Pays Big Time

So for 30 years (yes, really) they have walked up and down, up and down, up and down — admiring the wonderful sea views, sweeping their state-of-the-art metal detectors in smooth arcs above the furrows, straining their ears for the smallest metallic bleep as they searched, and searched, for a cache of 2,000-year-old hidden treasure, once vaguely hinted at by a farmer’s daughter half-a-century ago."
