Dear colleagues,

We have found a Japanese warship that sunk in a shallow waters in the Philippines. Our free-dive native divers have retrieved iron bars from the sunken vessel. We need assistance to fund the retrieval of the items inside the ship. Please email us at ]

Best regards

ROLANDO FLORES

Yes, I know the Japanese hid gold under iron bars, to fool the locals. Its a old trick. Can you please show us a photo of the iron bars? We have many members on this site that are experts on iron bars, used to hide gold. We will be anxiously waiting for more information about this very exciting find.

If it's shallow, chances are it's long gone, as are a high percentage of the Land buried sites.
There are detectors that will discriminate the Iron from the Au, if it is still there!

To identify the ship, you could get the ebook SHIPWRECKS OF THE PHILIPPINES by Tom Bennett, no less than 800 Japanese wreck details within the Philippines are listed.

Are the iron bars also known potentially as 'Gray Bars'? :icon_scratch:

Pretty coincidental that he would claim to have found a shipwreck carrying iron bars. Considering he was attempting to purchase iron from Indonesia 2 weeks ago. And that he has also looked for someone to fund his mining projects in the Philippines. And that he does not work in an industry that would have likely come across such a wreck.

Also suspicious is that he has only posted on this site 3 times. Each time, looking for money.
Post #1 claimed he had 50 bars of platinum he was trying to sell.
http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/g...99-platinum-bars-treasures-4.html#post2775447
Post #2 claimed he had a bunch of jet engines he wanted to sell.
http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/scrap-metals/87035-f8-jet-engine-scrap-2.html#post2737238

Both times, he had simply tacked those offers on to pre-existing threads about the same items. That he coincidentally happened to have for sale.
He is most likely a con artist and needs to go.

I think he does work in an industry that would have come in contact with a wreck, and a cave of hidden treasure, and treasure markers. That IS the industry there! Scamming! One of the biggest. You can go through all the threads from there, and everyone knows where the treasure is, but dont have the money for a shovel. How did it get to this point, I have no idea, but some are even very good at it.

He's just one of those people who contact old people for money its a new way to try and get money out of people. Mods should terminate his membership but chances are he will just create another.

While I applaud your effort to want to find all the gold you can, I think that diving on sunken warships that possibly and quite probably have remains of soldiers & sailors still on them is despicable. That amounts to grave robbing, in my honest opinion.

Well Ron, please dont tell that to all the wreck divers on this forum. But in this particular case, there probably is no ship, or at least one filled with gold, so you dont have to worry about all those sailors. For this thread, all you have to worry about, are the investors, that are putting gold into the ship!
