Upto 1,000 folks digging for gold at Folkstone beach

There are now upto 1,000 people at a time digging for gold on the Folkestone beach, including with metal detectors, and also at night with torches on their foreheads.

The 3 that found gold (l2r): sisters Megan & Kirsty Henderson + Kevin Wood

Yesterday (Friday) Kevin Wood, his partner Kirsty Henderson and her sister Megan (r to l, above) became the first people confirmed to have found a £500 GBP gold bar. They spent just an hour digging at low tide. After finding the gold bar they immediately left the beach & set off for their home in Canterbury, but halfway home had to pull over & stop for a drink.

Digging continues at the beach.
