This is the only good lead I have in the Philippines
When the Imperial Japanese forces were invading the Philippines at the outset of WW II all the paper money on Corregidor Island had to be destroyed to keep it out of enemy hands. Stacks and stacks of American money was being burned and one young soldier on the burning detail filled a 50cal ammo box with 100 dollar bill's and buried it in a tunnel wall close to the mouth. The soldier was captured and spend the remainder of the war as a POW. After the war he returned home got married and raised a family. In the 1970's he returned to recovered his loot, only to find that the Japanese had reinforced the tunnel walls with concrete. After several weeks of negotiations with the government he returned home without his treasure, estimated at $500,000.00.
Is it still there?
With a little research it should be easy to pin point the site that the burning took place a little work with a good detector might put you on a 50cal ammo box full of 100 dollar bills.
