>>>There already has been enormous Yamashita gold finds in the Philippines.<<<
True that. Googlize Rogelio Rojas and the Golden Buddha.

Oak Island is great. It starts at 9 and puts me to sleep faster than any show out there.

My version of WWII treasure would be to find a buried crate of M1 Garand rifles or Thompsons in wrapped in watertight packaging and cosmoline...
That’s probably MORE likely a find than some gold horde.
Interesting to ponder how many of those inventory items went missing during the course of the campaigns in the Pacific (or Europe too).
Imagine what a crate of M1918A3 Browning Automatic Rifles in good or decent condition would bring...
A stretch, yes, but... nice to thing about :^).

Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. I still get claustrophobia recalling those guys swimming out of the cave.
To: Red Badger
Or it may.
Most treasures are considered fables until they are found. Then the finders are reviled as evil plunderers of national treasures. Which was so valued that no one was looking for it.

Why would Yamishita bury anything valuable on Panay? It was a backwater thinly garrisoned that we took fairly easily late in the campaign.
Yamishita himself took personal command of the largest Japanese force and fell back into the mountains of Northern Luzon, where he fought a sharp and bloody defensive campaign. If he wanted to bury something, that remote mountainous terrain would be the place.

If he did, he did it for personal convenience after the war.................

Well, Yamashita didn’t have a very good “after the war” . . .
To: colorado tanker
True, but he didn’t expect to lose.............

Thanks Red Badger. If someone had buried treasure, no one would know about it, orrrrrr, they wouldn't tell a soul about it, would just go dig it up.

Looks like all the gold is on the general's chest.
