Greenapple,
I have a few questions regarding the nickle babbit that you have posted.
1. Does that i pc. of babbit related to your project?
2. Did you or your group found that babbit underneath the ground?
3. Is it a part of a cache or just a piece?
It is a bit strange regading its color, as if it is newly fabricated and did not came as hidden treasure. (It can be considered a treasure if the volume is big enough taking into consideration the unit cost of it.)
Way back in 1994, these nickle babbits are widely circulated in Manila, and lot of people (buyers and seller alike) can be seen in different foodcourts, hotels, restaurants offices dealing these nickle babbits. Pictures are also circulating, but close scrutiny will reveal that these photos are "doctored", to give an impression of quantity.
There was an incident that a "deal" is about to be consummated. The price has been agreed by the seller and by the representative of the buyer. The venue of payment will be inside the bank as specified by the seller.
the seller was in the bank, together with his trustees; and the buyer's trustees were also present. Everybody is waiting for the buyer or representative of the buyer, and as time passes by, no buyer or rep is coming....As the seller starts to ask who is the buyer, different names came out, like a daisy chain, and know what? The supposedly buyer is the seller itself.
My point is, this story really happened....One sample will emerge, a deal will be forged, but the thing is no physical evidence of the so called volume of babbit exist....There will be a lot of word talks, different rules, payments, buyer's capacity to pay, penalty, and everything you can imagine, but the end result...will be NADA...
Just recently, I encountered nickle babbit (in volume) for sale, with specific price. They gave all their sale's condition, w/c includes price, volume to be hauled each day, mode of payment, everything.....To make the story short, at the end of one month...no nickle babbit not even a shadow of it, .....Their reasons: We cannot afford to buy it because it is hundred thousand of tons...(according to them). Everything is bull...

angel,
this is the only bar my friend showed me to satisfy my coriousity,but honestly i don't know how it ended in their hands as i don't give some attention to transact this kind of items because i heard so many syndicates using nickel babbitt as their commodities.one thing for sure this bar were recovered just around sarangani/south cotabato area.
i don't really think any good thinking syndicate will make a fake nickel babbitt coz they might be loosing money than
earning from it.
im posting some pics of it from diff angles,hope you like viewing it.
