Treasure leads

Nah, we got there perfect timing about 1:30 when the clouds were breaking. The wind was still kicking pretty good, but the earphones muffled most of it.

A ranger told me today that metal detectors aren't allowed during the summer and then Labor Day week, the detectorists come out in full force. He said that week they get cans of coins and jewelry. Hmmm...must've left the lead for us guys ;) Explains why all my clad was eroded - must've been spit back out by the ocean after the first guys picked it clean.

Hope you get a sackful Tuesday. See ya.
 

We don't have the time of year restriction here on our beach.
 

I'm not a big "restrictions" guy, but the nice thing about Fort Fisher that week (if you are one of the first) is you are all but guaranteed to find a lot of goodies. Meanwhile, I'm hunting elsewhere.

Went to the quarry today for my son's scuba class. Took my underwater detector there and found almost nothing but junk. What did I expect at a rock quarry? I didn't look too hard, but I was hoping for a watch, knife...dive computer maybe??? :)
 

at least you are an optimist. Hope he like his dive.

I for one enjoy you posts, keep it up. After I retire and get out to AZ we can hook up and I will give you a hand.
 

Hello Treasure Enthusiast,

Please exclude me as the treasure hunter for I am not. I am just an engineer of one of the remote area of construction site for the mud crab hatchery neaby my town. The land owner of the site I am constructing agreed with me to have his area to be farmed by me and so agreed with me that I need to excavate a deep well for watering my water melon plants. It was a big wonder on my excavation that upon reaching a 9 meters deep of mostly sandy area, I struck a solid concrete cement material. I already have the materials sampled for investigation and it was confirmed that it is indeed a concrete base cement materials. How in the world would a 1.4 meter by 1.4 meter with unknown thickness of concrete flooring will exist in the midst of the sandy and loomy soil? Would this be a lead to a Yamashita treasure? Actually, I am living in Philippines and am not a believer of this fabled Yamashita treasure until I struck with this concrete materials. The well is functioning now since it can supply the water I need, but should I break the concrete to find what is within? Can anybody advise how to identify yamashita treasure locations of leads?

My youngest 4 year old daugther whose very much sick nowadays with having a leukemia ( ALL ) and currently now in hospital suddenly advise me find the treasure in my farm. I was in deep shock since she doen't even know that I have a farm in Mindanao. Could a child give a hint as a treasure lead? Can somebody advise how could a solid concrete be buried in a 9 meters deep in a most remote area where there is no other previous construction underwent since history?

Sounds to me like you might possibly have found one of the locations but since I am no expert, go to this sight and read http://www.yamashita-gold.com/. You obviously will have to draw your own conclusion whether or not it is, and if so, how you would go about retrieving it. Whatever you decide, please keep us posted. Good luck! HH to all.
 

"Noble Metal" is a user on this forum and lives in the Philippines. He may be able to help you.
 

To serata,
CONGRATULATION, you found one of several Japanese treasure, although this type of treasure is small probably buried by a platoon of Japs soldier still its worth a fortune my estimate is probably only 2 TONS OF GOLD !!! Just be careful in breaking this cement vault because sometimes it is embeded with a several bottle of poison gas....
 

Dear Brod,

I have now decided to break the concrete materials at the bottom of my 9 meters deep well. On the thrid day of the work, the sides walls of the well collapses. So I reexcavated and haul the sandly loom materials again, this time an enormous amount of water is in the well which cannot be drained by 1.5 HP pump. So I decided to rent a 2 HP pump of 1.6 cu. m. per minute discharge output submersible pump. I did reach the point where the concrete lies but this time the pump is not enough to drain the well. The water level is at 0.8 meters deep in equilibrium with the pump. The water will always maintain at this level even how many hours we are to pump. Is this one of the barriers the Japs installed to make it too difficult for us to break the concrete cement? Could a Japanese techniques includes water pipes to supply volumenous amount of water to hinder treasure hunters in reaching the target? I am now hiring a drilling experts to drill me the concrete so as I may know the thickness of the concrete. I don't now what should I do how to excavate this thing. Can you please give some idea how to recover this gold. I'll give you a fare share if ever.....My place is in Baliangao, Misamis Occidental. Is this place included in your map? Do you have the knowledge that this place contains the burial of the so called gold bullions? Where can I rent a GPL to detect this metals?

Sincerely yours,

Serrata
 

Serata,

What has happened is you have reached the water table.? It will continue to flow in at a very fast rate and is seaping in through the ground.? You will need to get a much bigger pump to stay ahead of it.? I would recommend digging sort of a french drain or cavity off to the side and lower than the botom of the well if you can.? Allow it to fill up and use the bigger pump or several pumps together to drain this cavity.? Also remember, it is harder for a pump to pull water up than it is to push it up.? In other words, if you can get the pump down into the well, it will handle the load better.?

Good Luck, and let us know what you find!

Robert in SC
 

Dear Mr Robert SC,

Thanks for your advise it clears to me now the source and cause of the fast water activity. I need to break the concrete cement that is lying in the well bottom. What do you advise? Do I have to hire a drilling equipment in order to explore how thick will this concrete? or have the well drain first before breaking the concrete? Is it advisable that I could use a round culvert and to be positioned right at the top of the concreted base to minimize sipping water? Currently I am using a submersible Pump, I guess I should add one more base on your advise. Thanks,

I will surely inform you whatever findings I may have. Hope this is what they called the fabled Japs treasure....

hey wasup very interesting, you really want to find out whats in there, i say use a core drill drill right through that concrete and right thru the gold if its there ,pull up a core sample, if you see gold hoorah! then get every damn pump you can find, use them all together if you have to, drain that hole and get your treasure out,God Bless your little one, I already said a prayer for her,check for diets that are cancer fighting,my cousins husband is doing that and his cancer has gone away since hes been on that diet, take care and godbless tammahawk
 

Yup, we have the same idea, I indeed construct a vertical drill machine but it failed me to drill more than a quarter of a meter. I am stuck cause I can no longer remove the pulverized concrete and the water can not be drained even if I am already pumping at the rate of 2 cubic per minute. I am now planning to pour concrete to the side of the well to block the entry of water that is flooding coming from almost all sides of the well. I will see to it that the poured concrete will settle at the upper most part of the existing concrete to surely block the entrance of the sipping water. I am also planning to drop a concrete round culvert to the bottom instead of making a frame for the concrete pouring.
I stop the digging operation for a while cause my child is having her heavy chemo medication needs more financial support. I will continue the digging soon as I can save some money later. Hope my child can recover soon so that I can immediately dig this treasure.......Thanks for your concern.......May God Bless You and to your whole household.....Nanding

you may have some problems with that beacuse of the rapid seepage I dont know if the concrete will form a seal, it may though and concrete cures with water on it, you might wanna try widining the hole and getting 2 concrete culvert pipes one wider than the other form a double sleeve and pour in between them to create a seal but that way would require a flat suface at the bottom to seal too, how deep is the water when if fills in? and how wide is your hole already? to bad you didnt have an old steam shovel available that works, it works and grabs anything right through the water , we used to have one around here when i was a kid, it sorta looked like a crane with cables on it at the end of the cables was a heavy double shovel that was like a claw you could drop it down to great depths and grab gravel or whatever because you were not limited to the lenth of an arm on like say a backhoe ,even through the water it would be a breeze because the shovel is heavy, you never know you may have one near by for rent? Good luck on that dig let us know if you are successful or need new ideas,Godbless give that little one a hug for me Tammahawk
 

Get a commercial diver and don't fight the water. Use the culvert pipe to protect the
diver from material sliding in on top of him. Airlift the mud out of the inside of the pipe
and drill/chip away.

I have worked on allot of bridge caissons. The hardest problem with trying to seal the culvert
to the cement is the water pressure trying to get inside the culvert when the water is pumped
out. The pipe wants to float up with water only on the outside. Seen this too many times.

If you could get below the cement it might be another story.

Dinkydink I think airlifing is a little extreme and the cost would be astronomical, but an easier way would be to weld up some metal pipe and make like a small crane arm on it so it can be turned to go over the hole and swivel out of the way ,? weld a loop into the end and hook a pully to it and rent a winch and? weld up a small basket big enough to carry up the concrete chunks? run the winch cable thru the pully and down into the ground and lift it out that way you would not be limited to the confines of an expensive air lift and you could also use it to lift the treasure out if its there, the rental of a wench compared to an aircraft would be a great savings, especially if nothins there, also this remedy could be made even less expensive with a vehicle attached to the cable instead of a winch just back it up to tighten? cable and lift it out swing the arm to one side and drop it done! the pipe should? protect the diver from fallin debris or a cave in,? he would have to find some way to hook a strap to pieces of large concrete because he may be unable to move them into a basket, but in theory this may work, good luck tammahawk
