I'm not usually one to be this doubtful...

Hello fellow TreasureNet hunters!

I'm always very happy for other people finding the treasure they have worked long and hard for,
or even had some dumb luck and came across something neat - This on the other hand struck a
nerve so gear with me. I have never been so doubtful in my life over what i was watching.
I want this to be real, but if you do the research on where they roughly claim to be; Recent volcanic
activity, poverty, fairy tales and lore i always end up in Papua New Guinea.

I have never been one to debunk... but am I going crazy with how ragefilled these videos make me??
:angry1::angry2::angry3:
Finding nuggets right on the surface of this sandy river. digging in this weird and very jagged rock
(I don't know what type) but it seems to break up nice and 12" in a bank sits a 500Gr round nugget.
Its .... so frustrating, haha.



Also how silent these people are when they uncover what look to be 5-30gr nuggets without
any who-rah, even throwing back some because they say its too small.............. PLEASE SETTLE MY MIND,
hahah.

good luck to everyone out there :D

That shiny gold paint tho...They're as real as jungle exploring in bare calves, no socks, and sneakers.

they have a large following though - Why... do people really fall trap to things like this? also, the 500+gram boulder is way oversized for the density. should be roughly 1" cubed for 500Gr of gold.... if i am not mistaken on my elemental math.

People will believe the darnedest things and that's about as nice as I can be on the subject.

Seriously, if you ever found something of real value, the last thing you would do would be to advertise it to strangers and the government.

Just remember how many people believe something was buried in the 1700's hundreds of feet deep on Oak Island with elaborate, ridiculous flood tunnels (with nothing but shovels) and that's all you need to know why they have so many followers. lol

Hmm, if you are going to put a hottie in your video, she should at least be, hot?
Second, if they are really walking out with a pound or so a day, why not something better than what looks an Ace?
I never did enjoy reading about someone elses wild success.
