Im trying to find a couple of films that I can barely remember watching myself, both were on VHS cassette in the 80s when I was coming up.

The first one, I have no idea of name etc, I can just remember that there were diamonds hidden inside numerous small stuffed toys, and some young girls and guys in the film got hold of them - very little to go on! I seem to remember either a fairground, or carnival stalls, and I think these toys with the diamonds stashed in them were somewhere around thse stalls! ANyway, 2nd one is more important, yet probably even harder for someone to name!

The second one, again very vague memory of it. All I can remember is, in the film, a lad (or group of kids) would go down to this lake (it was in America, and was really dusty around there), and the water in the lake would start to bubble and something would start to come up out of the lake. It didn't come right out first few times, but at some point this thing lifts right up out of the lake...
I seem to remember there being a metal frame, with a wheel at the top of it that spins and rattles in the wind - If I remember rightly, this thing would start rattling and spinning right before whatever it was in the lake started bubbling! Not a lot to go on, but I remember hiring this film several times when I was a child, but I have absolutely no idea what the film was! I just recall we all watched it over and over again as kids!

Please help, this has been driving me nuts for years!
