   Hello hardluck. In the back of the neck...OUCH, not a very good souveneer.  Geeez this thing is hard to type into. slow and very choppy. Is it my computer or does anyone else have this problem.   Well, my retirement there will be 6 months in the Philippines and 6 months here in Manitoba Canada.   Good free health care here..  Summers in Manitoba are great for propecting in the north except for the mosquitos.   The Siay area is relatively safe area, compared to Mindano or Zamboanga..  Being well past 60 years old I will enjoy the warmth of Coloran, Ipil, Imelda, Siay and surrounding area.   A lot better than 40 below during the winter.  
    I am open minded on the gold. I know for a fact there is gold in the streams because my relatives have panned and sluiced for it. Also big crocs, nasty little beasties. A few relatives told me the gold stories when I was there, and supposedly how a poor lawyer became president.  From struggling to extremely weathy.  I never heard the story of stealing it from the chinese, but it is extremely plausible..  Like I said before. there are rocks with Japanes characters on them in many places in the Philippines..  why?   For me,  I would look to the seas and ocean for galleons and the beaches on the southern shore where the storms might blow in gold by the undertow.   Hmmmmm, think I will just dectect the beaches with my Xtera 705. A lot safer than inland for whities. the rebles like to take them hostage.   Have a good winter wherever you are.   Doug in Kakakakold Manitoba

hardluck..   by the way my typing is terrible, old arthritic fingers from farming for to many years.   Yes, I will become an old snow bird, sort of like florida for the winters and here for the summers.   On the west side of Zamboanga, there are beautiful beaches, so my wife is there now looking for beach front property.  I think the best idea is to look for beach gold, whether it be stuff tourists have dropped or stuff blown in by typhoons.   It is also a good business to operate, a small bed and breakfast or small motel.  Once ther muslim/rebel problem has been rectified if ever, I will look at finding Yamas gold.   Hmmmm, guess I could be long dead by then. But, atleast it is maybe 35 above, not 40 below. The mayor of the area where we have a house, Coloran, wants me to start a sidecar manufacturing plant to hire the locals. You already know what transport is like down there.  Motorbikes/sidecars for the populace and cars for the elite rich.  I have 4 retired army uncles now since I married into the family that are retired and they said with their influence I can get a NSI clearance for carrying a sidearm for personal protection if I grease a few palms.   Greaseing of the palms is a national passtime,  probably why people don't find the Yamas gold, or, if they do, it is not publicized, or they will loose it.  Either to the government or theives.  I'll do a little more reaseach on it over the next few years..Well, time to stoke the wood stove and stay warm..   Minus 29 by next thursday.   have a good week.. OOtpik of the great white frozen north.
PS, there is a lot of problems in the Mindano area right now. 2 muslim familes killing each other off for leadership of the area.  35 people killed in one shoot up.

	Yamashita's treasure = a tale that grew in the telling. WW2 loot buried by soldiers and caches buried by civilians in the Philippines = very real. Have I been there before? Many times since 1995. And I've seen enough clear and unambiguous signs carved in stone in the Philippines and Borneo with many similar elements, if not completely alike.

The safety and security of hidden treasure requires secrecy not public signs pointing to it. These signs are all made by those who like to play jokes on an entire population of dreamers. The signs are nothing. Mostly they are natural. The rest are fakes. The reason you see two alike is because the processes in nature that cause them are repeatable by nature.

	ooptiK   a foreign guy like you is very welcome to our country..  correction not only 35 killed in recent shooting in Maguindanao its 57+.  Goldiger and Hobbiest you will get a free ticket and hotel accommodation to Maguindanao.

So even in joking, you wish someone you don't even know to be dead because we ridicule the ridiculous? Have you any idea how that makes you appear?

Look, mate, the Yamashita treasure is a joke. Nothing more. That you believe in it is your business. There is a forum where all of you goofballs can get together and never have anyone poking fun at you. Go on over there and let the rest of us laugh at the people who believe that the treasure signs made by your own countrymen as a joke are real. Go on. Play nice with the other goofballs.
