AVID Pursglove had a dream that he would find hidden treasure beneath a dead pear tree in his Uckfield garden.

At first he found only muddy water. But he was so convinced the dream was real he spent thousands of pounds on digging down 120 feet.

There he discovered a well with liquid so rich in minerals that it will be marketed and could make him a fortune.

It may be only water but for Mr Pursglove it's liquid gold and his dream come true.
