Confirmed Site in Mindanao, Philippines (Need GPR)

Everyone can disregard my request for a scanner. It looks like the whole thing could have been a big scam from the beginning. I found out those guys I hired to scan were using phony equipment they made themselves. It definitely looked real at the time and I wanted to believe it but apparently they have a reputation that I am only just now finding out about. ...Once again the treasure eludes me...

Qiforce7, your posts here are ... uh .... "telling". In the first post you have a site/treasure that is "confirmed". And is the "real deal". (I'm using your own words). And you are seemingly certain that a "bleep" on a GPR or long range locator is " certainly going to be a treasure" (Yamashita's perhaps ?). And most certainly it's there, but "just a little deeper" . And no matter how deep you go, if you don't see/find it yet, that merely means "it's a little deeper still", right ?
But then in your 2nd post, now it's not there. Now the treasure that was "confirmed" and the "real deal", eludes you.
Hence my skepticism when I read stories, legends, leads, etc.... coming from certain geographic locations. Someone's seen a funny symbol on a rock. Or had a map passed down to them. Or got a signal from their dowsing rod. Blah blah blah. And in their mind's eyes, this is bullet proof iron clad treasure ! Yet the reality is: It's maybe just an urban legend gone awry. Or the signal from a detector is a hub cap or false signal or .... ?
But the lure of treasure is so strong (lest we be "left out"), that we put aside skeptical thinking, and want so hard to believe it's true.
