Please assume nothing of the kind. Nobody here is trying to anger you. We are trying to teach you a bit. Treasure signs are very, very rare for a number of reasons. The first is that treasure signs are almost never left in the open. They are marked down, hidden in books or papers - not cut into rocks. In the Philippines, the treasure seekers there all get seduced by the possibility of marks being made in rocks when your islands are just overflowing with fractured rocks. A natural fracture can look as it it was made deliberately but it is rarely so.

Soldiers hiding treasure, if they even had time to carry it, would not dig into the ground, bury a treasure and then put a rock over it. Nearly all of the treasure plundered by Yamashita was discovered with him in his camp at his capture. Almost all of it. That has been related here dozens of times and the dreamers among your countrymen seem deaf or blind to that.

Most of the signs in the rest of the world point towards things that will keep you alive. A sign warning of danger most likely means if you go there, the cliff edge might be fragile. Treasure hunters often assume that the danger sign means a trap over gold. That's just plain silly. Who would the would be treasure hiders be leaving the message for? Anyone who had a legitimate claim to it would know of any trap. They wouldn't need a rock carving to tell them. Some signs just point towards water or the next populated area. Not to treasure. They point to meeting places. Not to treasure.

When we try to relate this to those who passionately believe in hidden treasure, they get angry. Please don't be one of them. The folks here who are telling you that treasure signs are rare are experienced in these matters. I, for one, am concerned about the safety of treasure hunters who may disregard warnings and enter a cave or underground tunnel looking for something that simply is not there. I would hate to see 22 years of age be as far as you make it because you believe we have only the motive to make you angry when the truth is that we don't want to see you chasing fairy tales into dangerous places.

No. I was mocking the question because it is so often asked. It wasn't you being singled out. I often do that very thing. Go ahead and search around the forums here and see how often the question comes up with the same result. No treasure reported or found. Just more pictures of rocks in the forest. Everyone should have a dream but they shouldn't share the same dream.

Life was meant to be fun, young lady. Don't take it seriously. Nobody gets out of it alive.

Just a few weeks ago, a report here on this forum told of two treasure hunters in the Philippines who lost their lives in search of treasure that wasn't there. If you getting angry with me keeps you from doing something dangerous, I am smiling inside about it. If it makes you think twice, even better.

I've been to the Philippines many times and love the gentle, caring nature of the people there. One day, I may go back there again but it won't be to hunt for treasure. There are easier places to find that. But don't give up. During the war, many families hid their possessions, including jewelry and cash, from the invading Japanese soldiers. Nobody ever talks about those caches which may still be there. The Japanese were merciless, often killing families because they thought they could be a danger to them and tell the Allied Forces where they had gone. Those were horrible days and your grandparents may have told you stories of it.

Sometimes, in remembering the horrors of war, the teller gives hope to the story and that is how the rumors of Japanese treasure began. After all, nobody has to prove a rumor. Right? It's just a story. Until the second telling. Then, for some odd reason, a rumor often takes on the label of a fact. In reality, it is just the second telling of a rumor. Nothing more.

I understand,now i know, thanks.. I remember when i was in elementary school in my province, there's a lot of japanese tourists visiting that old school giving gifts like candies pens, papers, etc. for the students and then of course the teacher's welcome them too. they talked about enhancing the school and moving the flag pole, so they moved it, they we're the one financed it. What we didin't know is there were a couple of gold bars hidden under the old flag pole and they took it. after that they didin't come back anymore until now...

I liked your inquisitiveness though. Yes, those look like natural cracks in the rocks, but if if you find something really indicative of a treasure, first become informed about your country's laws and regulations for such finds and any other legal issues. You don't want to break the law and end up in jail. Research pays and keep you healthy and out of potential trouble. The Phillipines are a beautiful chain of islands. Your country and mine, Puerto Rico, have many cultural things in common due to the Spanish link and the events after the Hispanic American war of 1898. Good luck and keep looking  Wink

About the markings on the rocks,just to make it reliable and worthy, marks on rocks must be deep and large enough to accommodate chisel thickness that were used by Japs. If it is negligible, rough, irregular and thin, disregard it..If you want to know about rock markings so that you will not be biased, try to go to the river,,,there are many rocks & boulders there with interesting marks...this way you will know how to determine what markings are natural & man made..I just want everybody's enlightenment on this matter...just to avoid unnecessary expenses & time...so that the retrieval of treasure will be faster & smoother...Good Luck!!!
