Hingi sana ako nang tulong regarding sa japanese code na nakalagay sa transparent circular fiber glass na nakakabit sa hugis paa na bato nung giniba namin yung foot like stone natagpuan namin yung fiber glass na ito.
Nakakuha din kami nang dice na bato with markings na x and arrow sign. sa treasure site meron din eagle claw stone sa ilalim nito may solid wall both sides, malinis yung pagkakagawa parang sinemento sa tingin ko tunnel ata pero di na namin pinasok dahil matubig . ano kaya yung ibig sabihin nang japanese code na ito?

Good day to everyone! I would like to ask help maybe you know the japanese code written on circular fiber glass which we got after breaking a footlike stone. We also found a small cube stone like a dice that has an x and arrow mark, Within the sorrounding there is a an eagle claw formation of stone under this stone there is a solid wall on both side just like a tunnel. We didnt go inside because its covered with water i thinks its around 15 ft. depth…

I don't know if its a japanese or chinese font, I just assume its a japanese. Thats why I post it here so everybody can take a look and have a comment on that text. Well, I hope someone can translate that text soon We didn't go to tunnel beacause its covered with water around 15 ft. depth

I DON’T KNOW IF ITS FIBER GLASS OR PLASTIC BUT ITS KINDA HARD THE WRITING WAS ENGRAVE IN THE MIDDLE, BOTH SURFACE IS SMOOTH. ITS DIAMETER IS AROUND 36mm AND ITS THICK IS AROUND 4-5mm

Pinoy TH,

Is there anybody here had a ball mill near M.Manila?....a treasure group approaches me and told me they recover from their tunnel...different shape of objects, rock boulders, statue ...made/molded of different composition...sand, rice hay, gold dust and unknown chemical they shaped into small rock boulders, big boulders...the biggest one (750 kilos) was shape into PIETA statue.
According to Gen. Watanabe, this kind of au camauflage was his design. If some japs covered the gold bars with asphalt. Gen. Watanabe gold dust treasure was MADE / MOLDED into several odd shape rocks, so that these odd shape stones will not be easily detected as treasure dust bcoz it was molded into different shapes.
A rock sample is very2 heavy...definitely there is a presence of metal dust/grain inside, when assayed I think it contain 97.5 grams of au per metric ton.
Am not sure though but I think in the mines a 10 grams of au per metric ton is already considered high grade?...any miner here?

Yamashita treasure is true but it requires determination and spiritual guidance, my team try to search small amount of stash to get the ball rolling if we we asses the site is huge, we abort due to budget and man power constraint. We recently met someone (but remains to be proven) that he can communicate with the spirit guarding a treasure site, and instruct us to only use a 3 man team to excavate the gold and only give us one week to do the job other wise the operation will be aborted and wait for his next instruction. The site is on the coast of quezon island, the operation date was already given to us and we only wait until that time, we will try to venture somehow coz if the operation will be succesfull he will reveal small stash of it in the near future.i will post here if the operation will be succesful or a failure.

, when assayed I think it contain 97.5 grams of au per metric ton.

97.5 grams /Divided by 28 grams per ounce = 3.46 ounces x 9.20 per oz current silver price =$11.98 usd x 44 peso to the $ = 527p
>remember this is 2200 pounds! (metric ton) so 30 or 40 pounds would be pennies, very low grade indeed!

Am not sure though but I think in the mines a 10 grams of au per
metric ton is already considered high grade?...any miner here?

10 grams = 6.5 pennyweights (20 pwt to the oz) = $35.65 per pwt @ $713 us spot gold price =231.73 per 10 grams

NOTE: @ 20 pwt to the ounce of gold(@1.5 grams to the pwt) it cost US companies $400 per ounce
overheard to mine. So this is ok but about 1/3 of what would be called high grade here in the US,
with production cost much less overseas, this would be high grade..
Here in the USA open pit hard rock mine or a tunnel or drift mine, an ounce to the ton is considered high grade.

Note: If you sold small abouts of gold or silver here in the USA, the dealer or buyer would take a 30% cut under spot
as his fee for giving you cash for you gold or silver. the only exception is gold dust would only be 20% fee, and for gold
natural nuggets you would get the spot price and maybe,maybe a small premium on top of spot for specimen natrual gold nuggets
of extreme beauty or configuration.

I dont think the silver dust object was meant to be "valuable" in terms of metal.. but it was meant to give
the clue that something "valuable" would be found by decoding the map!

Hope this helps you somehow

PS: It is been my experience that the Japanese used ancient Kanji symbols or fonts, but laid down the
treasure puzzle using Jesuit/Spanish Treasure Codes as a basic format or template. They of course changed
their favorite direction to the East.. given the fact that the Battle Flag of Japan was the rising sun!!!
The system of death traps and the use of Turtles, Faces, Lighting Bolts ect is Spanish true and true.
Mabuhai!

I just wanted to help correct your math a little. Precious metals (gold, silver, PGM), use the Troy system of weights. Ergo, there are 31.1 grams in a Troy ounce. Also, all the metal market spot prices are based on .999+ pure Hallmarked metal. You are correct in saying the value of raw gold could be 20-30% below spot, as refining costs are high.

"Am not sure though but I think in the mines a 10 grams of au per metric ton is already considered high grade?...any miner here?"

Yes, there are some miners here, but there are to many variables in mining to say if 10 g/t is a good number or not. In South Africa (the world's largest gold producer), they hardrock mine lower numbers than that, but labor is cheap. In the U.S.A., 10g/t might be close to the cutoff point for hardrock (the Carlin Trend in Nevada runs about 21 g/t), but 10 g/t is probably a good number for a bulk placer operation. In Mexico (where I work), 10 g/t is a good number for a hardrock or a placer operation, as again, labor and production costs are cheaper.

And, FYI, most of the systems used to extract gold from hardrock would work on recovering the powdered, micro-fine gold from the man made articles you mentioned, with the exception of the tar. Unless it had extremely high values, you might have to kiss that gold Goodbye, because of the high recovery problems with hydrocarbons.

Anyway, good luck,

John

Good Morning Aussie: You are correct on the weights and values of Au. However many hard rock mine show an excellent profit @ 6, or even less grams. It all depends upon mining conditions and location. I know of a cyanided dump with 3 grams of Au, some 300,000 tons with power and labor at site.

The hydro carbon factor can be handled IF theer is enough Au to warrant it.

You say that you are working in Mexico? Where near Texas are you?

Que tal Don Jose:

As I said, in mining it’s all about the variables. The 10 g/t may work very well on one operation, but is economically unfeasible in another. There was a large mine NW of you, using cyanide, that broke the investors bank at 15 g/t. Sometimes, it’s the little details that bite you in the butt. Quien sabe? And, "IF" there is enough gold to be extracted, regardless of the matrix, all problems can be solved.

I enjoy stopping by this TH forum occasionally to see if our Pilipino friends (or anyone else for that matter) have been successful in their hunt/seek/find adventures. I think we all suffer from a bit of the Indiana Jones syndrome, unless real work gets in the way.

Speaking of work, I live in Houston, Texas, but often work every place else. I read that you just went through a bad storm in your area. Not fun, huh? We had Hurricane Ike here a couple months ago, and that was a high pucker factor event.

This is my third project in Mexico in the past decade, and this one is located down in the Michoacan/Guerrero area. I can’t be more specific on location for security reasons. This is a 300 t/day operation and as the project moves along, I’ll start posting info and photos in the hard-rock mining forum. I’m heading back to the project tomorrow, so it may be a week or so before I check in again.

After the first of the year, I’ll be heading out to AZ & CA for an equipment procurement trip. I’ll keep in touch and if our schedules should match, coffee and apple pie is on me in Tucson.

Take care all and be safe,

John

Good evening John: I will be in Tucson around the middle of Jan, a date if possible. Why didn't 15 grams cut it? I was an assayer and made a profit with 3 grams, of which we only recovered 1 gram due to cyanicides.

I just sold a mine with over $ 2000 a ton in Au, AG ,CU, Zn,Pb, etc. in a fantastic location.

I also drop in from time to time to see how they are doing, not too well I am afraid.

John : I backpacked through the coastal regions of Michoacan and Guerro in the 50's on my way to the Yucatan looking for Mayan ruins. My partner and I lived off of the ccuntry, needed two Chachalacaas daily for our protein..There were NO roads then, just a few trails until you reaced Acapulco. The junction of the Rio Balsas did have a coastal port and a dirt rosd.

We set up camp at the bay of Marajauta for a week. It was just below Aguila onthe Michoacan coast...I have a few pictures if interested.

Despite gboy's opinion, I am not an arm chair explorer/ treasure hunter.
