I've heard my fair share of what some people mistake to be cement, but let's theorize that it is a multi level building that's been buried.

Rodan, did you find any rebar (reinforcing steel bars which lend concrete structures strength) when digging thru those 10 "floors" of "cement"? If so,it may be possible to roughly date the building from the pattern (or lack of any pattern) on the rebar.

Thanks for dropping by hobbyist, how are you. You know what buddy, Im pretty sure those were not natural composition, they were man made. And that was a long time ago. I'm only here to share this wonderful experience, and obtain ideas and some info and be able to somehow solve what we miss before. It's like, when you failed once in your life, it's hunt you right? and you wanna go back to correct it or solve it.  put it this way, it's on my Bucket List.

You don't have any signs are markers just a normal deposit of shells and junk washed in over the years. The layers are natural limestone nothing more sorry. You just digging holes to dig holes

Musta Roden..buti ako. Sinusubukan ko upang madagdagan ang aking Tagalog bokabularyo.
(How are you Roden...I'm fine. Am trying to increase my Tagalog vocabulary.)
No harm learning a 5th language eh? Wink

I know what you mean by having some unsolved mystery niggle away in your brain...it's happened to me before. Since you say you're sure that the structure's man-made, ok...lets leave it at that. Going along on that tack, my 2 cent's worth is:

Look into the history of the area from whatever sources available to you (old people with long memories, barangay/town council documentation, any historical records, even DNR records...maybe someone used to have a mine or some diggings there before).

Learn how to shore up the diggings with wooden beams before entering it again. You don't want to kick the bucket too early before you've been thru your list! Smiley Good luck!

Xavier, in this type of communication I can't be very specific in every details of what was happen, yes we use a small submersible pump. And I did not mention that that the soil is damp and unstable, but I do mention that the soil was dark blueish in color and solid, and I can safely say it is stable. It is not ordinary soil or sand that I could found in my place. Is it maybe because it's located in seashore? You're gonna find it hard to believe that again my mate. That " soil" is very slippery, literally, it never break into sand but it broke down into pieces, slabs or blocks. And i remember one time, one side of wall just fall/slip from itself at about 4x4 feet in size. And thats the part when I say it starts to cave in. My mate, that's why we were able to get down deep because of that kind of "soil", furthermore, water can't break that soil. In regarding photos, at that time there's no blackberries yet and iPhones but digital cameras, maybe, but we don't have it. Our group are all first timers no experience or what so ever. So I can't present any evidence or photos.

Hobbyish, there is no rebar as you could find in a building, but underneath those cement floors, I you flip it you'll find white tiny shells like the size of fingers all over it. I assume that  they make a bed of shell first before they lay cement floors. And why they are in slant position?  In between floors no shells at all, only relics or artifacts. Like a very detailed Buddha, a samurai sword, all made in cement but not as hard as the cement floors. Who do you think made those relics or artifacts? I wasn't thinking right now to reexcavate  the site, that was ten years ago. And im very far away now. By the way I haven't mention, that before we start the project, my cousin contacted a man with a detector and claimed that there's something down there.

OK if you have dug a 19 m hole and found nothing the detector dude lied to you no detector is going to detect at 19 plus meters.
The shells you are finding are fossils thats all the signs are garbage that was left behind.
What makes you think that there is treasure there?Huh?Huh??

Roden, maybe you could call upon your cousin to take whatever photos he can of the artifacts and of the hole you dug, and post them up here (I believe it's a 500 Mb limit per photo). Should your cousin feel it is unsafe to enter the hole, simply lower a digital camera on a twine with the movie recording function on. Still photos can be captured from the video. I use my Panasonic DMC-FT2 (model name in the USA is TS2) in that way; it has a handy little LED light which provides some illumination in dark spots.

Roden you have the Oak Island Complex you are digging a hole in a place that no treasure is reported buried interpreting natural limestone formations as man made seeing signs in every rock or shell you find.

Now this is the way I see it: Over the last xxxx thousand years erosion washed out caves around the natural lime stone  formations probably during the last ice age when the water level was much lower. Now over the last few thousand years storms floods etc have washed in debris some made made some natural this is what you are calling signs.

Who would bury anything at 19m?? This makes no sense at all.
