To discover the myths of Yamashita's Treasure and find a clue to unfold the truth of such treasure. How the local Filipino desires to find the location of the fabled treasure.
Treasure can be located and excavated by the help of the right instrument. Buried treasure does not exceed more than three(3) meters deep on a flat surface ground. Seldom treasure can be found deeper than like five(5) meters deep. It is a matter of frustration when treasure hunters dig very deep that results to nothing. It is very risky to diggers that is doing the job. Digging very deep is not treasure hunting, it is illegal mining causing danger to workers involve in digging without the proper equipments.

The Jersey treasure found by an amateur treasure hunter proves that treasure buried on land were not very deep enough to be found.
The second
portion of the Yamashita Treasure Danger Signs. As already mentioned the
Philippines possessing plenty of precious metals yet to be discovered by miners
thru mining. The most common precious metal is gold and mining is the only way
to discover the metals buried under the ground. Going back to the early day
Filipinos already mining gold. From Philippine history native Filipinos sold an
island to another a Muslim sultan for one “Sadok” of precious metal believed to
be gold. Then came the Spanish to Christianized the natives and at the same colonized
the whole archipelago. During the reigned of the Spaniards they had developed the skills of Filipino natives
in the mining of gold. That was the time when the western colonizer discovered
that Philippines had plenty of gold deposits. Certain places can be mined
without much efforts. Gold placers and nuggets abound along river banks and
among mountains cliffs without much deep diggings. The mined metals were then made
into wares and mixed in making big church bells. Large portion of gold then
made into gold coins and transported to Spain via the so-called Manila-Acapulco
trade route. Plenty of those sailing ship met harsh weather while sailing along
Philippine coast and had shipwrecked due to storm. Others sunk in the midst of
the Pacific Ocean while underway meeting typhoons.
Switching
back in history plenty of Spaniards never returned to Spain most of them were
church workers . Some connived with the native and lived marrying them as they
like. Those Filipino-Spanish made themselves rich by discovering more gold.
Then came the Americans and they were (Spaniards)driven
back to Spain. But, before hand the American takeover Filipino-Spanish buried
their riches underneath the ground mostly in an unmarked locations. (Filipino Treasure
hunters discovering gold coins way back the Spanish era). Mistakenly doing the treasure hunting in wrong
manner. The buried riches composed of jewelleries, expensive wares made from
gold, coins and gold bars were not buried deeply beyond 3 meters below the
ground. The receptacle or the container they used mostly made from clay pots,
or by those expensive Chinese pots and China wares or jars. Diggers found
nothing when getting too deep; also diggers using only hearsay or presumption
without using metal detectors just are wasting their effort. It would be too dangerous
for the treasure workers without proper preparation. Plenty were buried alive
when they come into very deep hole. Some died due to the short supply of
oxygen. Anyone should not be inside into confined spaces without breathing apparatus
to support oxygen among treasure hunters.
