Hello everyone!
Another American here in the Philippines. From southern Cali by way of the Chicago area. Now living Mindanao for just over a year now. There seem to be many famous stories of one popular mayor finding one of General Yamashita Tomoyuke cash deposits :icon_pirat:
I'm not into treasure hunting but while we are already reconstructing our property and constructing a house, I figured it may be stupid not to take some kind of look for what may have been left behind.

xtex 43,

deep penetrating radar is fine.but you have to have a locator first that is not a metal detector. if you can find a positive area using your metal detector, there is a 100% chance that what you detected is only a decoy. instead, look for the area near the detected decoy. the real item is usually there. but you have to be patient and persistent. a good way to start is to look for the opposite area where your detected site was identified. you will know where the real treasure is if you can find a spot where there are so many positive detected areas in one spot. that is where the real item is. the real item is surrounded by so many decoys.

the reason for the ineffectiveness of the metal detector in jap treasure hunting is this. a real item is fully laden with anti-detectors. these are materials that are designed to repel any metal detection away from the real item. not only that, it will also lead you to the decoy items. that is the reason why there are so many failed diggings here in the philippines.

another reason why so many failed is there are also anti-scanners. anti-scanner materials may be in the form of a lead materials, corals, cement layers averaging from 10 feet or more, alternating hard cement layers with sand and corals, black sand, brown sand, clays, and so many gold dust near the real item. this is where your penetrating radar must be employed in the immediate environs. and a drill is a must also. you drill for actual results.

anti-scanners may not be able to repel your penetrating radar. but it will give you false depthness. if you can read that the item is located at 20 feet, chances are, the real item is located at 48 feet, or 90 feet. or 60 feet. or 100 plus feet. that would depend on the burial design of your area.

if the japanese engineers were not so skilled and cunning during the war days, almost all filipinos would have been rich by now as treasure hunting, i suppose, was a backyard activity during the late 1980's to 1990's. more and more filipinos are becoming discouraged nowadays. thus, you think like you are in the shoes of the japanese engineers. think like them. think about the anti-detectors and anti-scanners. that is the only treasure item in the world where there are anti-components like those i have mentioned.

Thanks renantagum30,
I should have better described the unit as a discriminator / scanner system utilizing a frequency generator which allows for greater power and long range accuracy. We believe it to be accurate to depths of 30 meters and more.
Thanks again for your input.

xtex43,
thats a good news xtex . its good that it can discriminate.

may i ask also xtex if you have encountered various decoys in a particular site? there are various decoy readings within the vicinity of the real item.
may i inquire if your equipment can detect decoys? and does your metal detector have the capabilities to overcome the said decoy? it would be important to detect both the decoy sites and the real sites. both of those sites come hand in hand in a japanese burial site.

as to gpr scanning, there are so many available on the internet. just be careful on the people that you will have to transact with.

There are native depostis of Gold in the Phils. Mindanao has a number of active Gold mines. Here in Cebu we have an area near Toldeo where one can pan for gold and I have heard of other such areas scattered throughout Luzon. Because you are finding "gold dust" (likely tiny placer flakes) with a metal detectors it might indicate a native deposit rather than residue of "gold the japanese buried".

I study up on building a sluice bod/rocker box and learn how to pan and hit the area that way.

Good Luck

floodcitykid,

you are right sir. in mining natural gold, you have better chances than seeking jap gold treasures. but for others, if it is their heart's desire to chase the fabled yama gold, they should satisfy that desire to their hearts content. to each his own.

as for me, i would go your way sir. i would mine natural gold if given the chance. but if i will have financial means in the future, i will also attempt to chase that fabled yama gold. again. for the last time. that last time, i will make it sure , it will be on my property, and not another one's property. greed always gets in the way and you might be double crossed once the item is there.
