Gentlemen,
Here is one of my experience in recovering concrete treasure vault (the japs used concrete to form a treasure vault due to lack of iron or safety vault during the war).
Title: Lonely Vault/Tomb of Baler
Type of treasure: Concrete treasure vault/tomb (above ground)
Year: 2001
Est Treasure: 2 tons gold
History/Facts:
It is a well known fact in treasure community, during the war there are scarcity of safety/iron vault....therefore the japs hide their treasure by making their own treasure vault made of concrete....sometimes they buried these concrete vault, oftentimes they just left it aboveground probably they are in a hurry bcoz they were chased by Filipino guerilla or American GI...
Thats why, whenever we explore in the jungle or mountains, we kept looking for man made concrete...whatever shape it maybe....bcoz if a man made concrete is in a remote place...90% its a Japanese treasure marker or treasure vault...all you have to do is crack it open....remember Rogelio roxas recovered the golden Budha inside a 6 feet tall concrete vault inside the tunnel...
Anyway, since we do not have treasure eqpt, we concentrate more on above ground concrete vault and just break it open....most of the time, its just an ordinary concrete block, bridge foundation, cadastral land marker....meaning no gold was found...
One time in 2001, one of our asset give us a tip, that there is a concrete block just lying along the beach in a remote village, the village folks sometimes dried fish on top of it, sometimes children just playing on top of it....
Since our budget is very small a few hundred dollars only, We plan to take the concrete block ( 8 cubic feet refrigerator size) during midnight when the village folks was asleep. We hired a logging truck and pull the ref size concrete block , 40 kilometers away and put it into my friend farm. Our team arrive at around 5 pm, since we no longer have food and its raining, We decided to go back to my friend house (10 km away) and produce 10 kilos of rice and plan to continue breaking the concrete vault the following day.
When we arrive at my friend house, his nagging wife confronted my friend and angrily shout at him....."you have been treasure hunting for years...you have been away for weeks...and yet your children have nothing more to eat"...go get that 20 sacks undried rice, dried it and milled it...."
Our team have no choice but to obey my friend wife so that we could produce rice...we dried the palay(rice) for 3 days and milled it... after 3 days we took 10 kilos of rice as our food budget and went to my friend farm hoping to demolish the concrete vault we haul earlier...too our dismay.....the concrete vault is crack open !!....somebody else open it, the scattered pieces of concrete have the mold shape of 75 kilogram gold....we immediately conduct an investigation towards the neighborhood.....according to one neighbor...the driver of the truck in cohoots with local armed politician...demolish the concrete...they took the gold and put it into 5 carabao carts and went to the mountains....imagine 5 carabao carts haul it?
it could be estimated 2 tons of gold !!...and the size of the concrete ....
It took our team...6 months of sleepless nights,blaming and cursing each other...we lost est. 2 tons of gold......
.....we can't imagine that for several years we crack a useless conretes...when we had our chance to have a positive concrete...we lost it...
