| Description: | REAL GOLD DIGGERS Treasure hunters panning for lost jewellery in the sand of a Florida beach. Florida, United States of America "Plays and books nowadays are full of gold-diggers of the blonde variety, but here are some Florida ladies who are real gold-diggers. They search the sands for missing jewels and ornaments..." MLS group of Floridians (women are in FG but there are also several men at work in BG) on beach, most in swimsuits, armed with small shovels and pans the size of pie plates. They shovel some sand into the pans, then as each wave comes in they let water flow into pans and sift sand through holes in bottom of the pans. MLS women kneel in a row across the beach, shaking sand about in their pans and baskets. "A little uncertain, perhaps, but a good bonus may come along sometime." MS one woman kneels on ground sifting sand. A wave comes rolling in and past her, splashing into the pan. She continues to kneel in the receding water, shaking the pan and feeling about in it. Apparently she finds something which she takes out to examine. CU someone holding pan w/ various jewelry inside - rings, pins, earrings, pearls and other beads from broken necklaces. | |
