i agree with sir kilonova. good advice sir.
the presence of charcoal is not the only sign. i have encountered it so many times also.
my cousin encountered the bones of one person, and they (her, and her group) thought the treasure is already near. they got to 200feet, and no treasure was there.
my friend dowsed the site of my friend and he said its only 5 feet. after 30feet plus of cement, and metals, and sugar like substance, no gold was ever found. and to think it was only 5 feet that this friend said there was a treasure. as you see, the presence of metals in your area seems unusual but it does not mean you hit the right spot. same with charcoal.
another friend who said he can help me with getting the treasure said there is a treasure box just 12 feet below the ground. so i dug and dug, found a very big stone shaped like a heart. nothing. and we went until 50 plus.
another area, 15 feet but we got to 30 plus feet. full of charcoal. the area is in tigatto davao city. cement, charcoal, cement charcoal. found a rock shaped like a buddha. but maybe that buddha was shaped in our brains because the buddha like rock is not perfectly carved. it could be anything.
those were my early years when all we hit were dirt and dirt, and not cement vaults that slided (which means they are worthless to us- they give the excitement alright but we cannot encash that excitement. they only brought bitterness to our memories).
in my middle year of treasure hunting, i found a friend who knows how to locate cement vaults. but just like he said, he cannot solve the puzzle of how to recover it. the cement vault and other vaults of the japanese that weights 5-15 tons always slides. after 20 plus of that, you could not help but wonder, those japanese men of old are so cunning and ingenious that i admire them for being so good in engineering. small bombs that break the ground floor of the treasure vaults that causes the vaults to slide sideways via 45 degrees open tunnel, and they transfer to another location. some vaults go downwards directly via a deep hollow pit and they go directly to underground aquifers. looking back, had i known it was that complicated, i would have hired an engineer to solve that puzzle. im only a driller and an accountant, but i was never good in physics , trigonometry and engineering.
if you have money to burn , try all methods and select which method can give you a higher batting average for you to get the treasure. i have done it trying other methods, until we hit several cement vaults countless times, but they always slide. so the lesson there after destroying the future of my family by spending our savings, i quit while i still have my pants and shirts intact. sometimes, its good to be optimistic when you have the extra money to burn. but when you dont have that money, you have to be realistic.
but im not saying that you quit, im just saying do not gamble the future of your family when you dig. if you have the extra money that does not impede the survival and everyday expenses of your family, go spend that in treasure hunting. if you dont have, do not spend it on treasure hunting, and do not expect others to chip in and believe in your cause.
but going back to the charcoal. always remember this, if the only thing you got are markers and charcoals and rocks that shapes like something, that is not a good reason to continue treasure hunting . you must get the gold for you to be successful. after all, you dont get rich getting rock markers, soil markers, and charcoals. sooner or later, you have to be practical . when you lose so much money and time, i think its better for you to find some activities worth your while that can feed your family now and in the future. know how and when to give up treasure hunting, when all you do is lose and lose, without getting hold of the gold.
a long time ago, i came with that realization. im not destined to be a gold hitter like some beggars who have not set foot in grade 1 who dreamed they can be lawyers and doctors someday despite their lack of educational attainment . i was hindered because i lost several millions of money and i can not gamble the future of my family any longer.
but im here to temper the dreams of those newbies who are so full of zeal and vigor digging and treasure hunting. its good to dream but sometimes, you have to give them the bad side of treasure hunting. give them the pros and cons when all they can see is the positive side that they can get the treasure 100%. how about the negative side of it where almost 99.9% of treasure hunters chasing yamashita gold have all experienced- failure?
try researching first and planning because it does not cost so much money when you plan and inquire from people who have already failed earlier. its costlier to dig when you dont have the basis why you dig there in the first place.
why is it that i dig in this area. what is my basis? did somebody dowse this area or are we just digging in this area because it feels good to dig in this area? what does other people say also? are there any other opinions? get some second and third opinions or more. do we have some geophysical equipments? do not dig haphazardly . plan and plan in order not to fail.. if you fail to plan, you are planning to fail already.
try and try treasure hunting , but not until you die.
. Ask the Big Guys who know.
