Sorry no office in the Philippines. But I have  been there with a group searching for the remains of American POW's from WWII "Baguio City".

How will the GPR work in highly mineralized clay soil, with water levels around six to ten feet level. Will the water absorb the GPR signal or will it pentrate the water and clay, and wet sand. This is what the Philippines soil is like in many of the treasure sites.

The ground conditions varies from day to day depending on soil content and water. Clay, water and salt are hard elements to scan through but not impossible when you have direct contact with the ground. In Georgia where soil conditions (red clay) are similar, I scanned through 2 feet of water using a rowboat looking for graves and had better than expected results. It’s hard but not impossible. In such working conditions, the redar needed constant recalibrating from salt clay mix in the water. The radar would flat-lineevery few feet. Very interesting question.

I am not far from Georgia and know the soil there. Most of the treasure u will encounter in the Philippines will be more than 20 feet. If u can use ur equipment in tunnels, caves, and in holes 15 to 40 feet deep, u may have some success, if u get on a good target. I used a Canadian gpr a few years ago in the the Philippines with a little success, but got robbed. Thats life. I have two sites at this time on private land, and would be interested in talking to someone about them. Very secure.
thanks
Pete

I am very familiar with Sensors & Soft (Canada) and their NUGGIN GPR equipment. Their equipment is top notch.  For my work I use GSSI equipment out of Salem, NH. I live not too far from their headquarters and if I need equipment for a specific application, they have what I need. Personally, I run a 400 MHz antenna with a range of 20 feet in depth. Most of my scanning is within the 2 to 10 foot range unless I am scanning a wall of a vault and then I use a small hand-held scanner with a range of 1 to 2 feet.  I would have to know a lot more about the project and what I would be looking for as well as the environment which you mention.
