I agree with what you're saying about how this guy should be careful and all.. BUT... Excuse me, but WHO in their right mind in the Philippines would ever ask the Local Authorities about anything that you suspect may be treasure or whatever? Why? So the very Honest Local Authorities can just TAKE it from you? Get real. The Local Authorities are mostly all corrupt and a bunch or crooks so I'd stay as far away from them as possible. Just my two cents..
Cheers,
TW


Most of these issues have been covered, however there IS a paucity of information, which has resulted in the 5 tons of conjecture...

It is not likely floating, if it is, what is it attached to; even a cement filled barrel will not weigh more than about 1300 pounds (assuming US gallons/3.79ltr); it is good to have some over-kill on the lifting equipment but 5 T is over-kill on the over-kill; if it were waste disposal, it would not be floating, likely; it is not likely a mine; and... is it a WW2 barrel, or a more recent type; lastly is it a hoax?

Someone is withholding information and just confusing matters.

With all the supposed *facts,* the whole thing is just plain stupid!

Sadly, TW is absolutely right. It is wiser to stay away from the Philippine authorities. And Ivor is fortunate to live in a place where one can have some measure of faith in the authorities.

Several things come to mind

WWII Mine
Is the drum floating on the chain?  It might be a hidden fuel supply, equipment cache. 

I'd mark the location on a chart and kinda watch over it a few weks especially if it's new. If it's old and rusty stay away


Good luck Amen
