Gold & Treasure Hunting Experience in Brief

If you are wondering what this is all about... it is exactly what it is about - GOLD TREASURES  in the Philippines.  It is about the stories of the treasures hidden by the Japanese Imperial Army in the Philippines which began way before World War II. Which explains why we hear stories about Japanese presence (in plain clothes) in the Philippines living among ordinary folks before WWII.

These stories have lured treasure hunters from all around the world, about cryptic maps that allegedly lead to the treasures buried by Japanese soldiers in the Philippines in more than 100 sites before Japanese commander General Tomoyuki Yamashita surrendered to American troops in 1945. 

We too were lured by it, my husband Norman and I, and hundreds if not thousands of Filipinos.  After all we thought we should be the ones to appreciate and benefit these rather than the foreigners.  We both saw gold, we dug gold, we experienced living a life intensely preoccupied by gold hunting activities.  We saw our finances depleting, yet our hopes were so high we did not care how depleted our finances were because of the promise that "it is there, just one night away from it," or "it is just a day away from the treasure."  Well, it never happened.

But, so we could spare you from impatience wanting to know our own side of the truth, our belief is that this Yamashita gold is true!  And the fantastic story about Marcos' successful diggings at Fort Bonifacio and other places were probably true.  We have met several people who claimed they were part of the diggings financed by Ferdinand Marcos, whether they were giving us tall tales, we can't say.  Because we have seen bullion gold ourselves at different times with different sets of gold holders, so, yes, we believe there are tons and tons of buried gold in our country.

My husband Norman and I, Marj, got pretty much involved for about two years in gold treasure hunting.  I tell you, it was one of the most exciting and fascinating time of our life!  Have I seen gold myself, real 6.2 kilos, YES,  about 24 pieces of them, and held them in my arms, YES at two at different times, we measured the tapered gold and weight them to our satisfaction, YES and our companion bore a whole through one bar which we took for ourselves tiny samples!

Did my husband see those I saw, No.  But he saw for himself one piece of real 6.2 Kilos and also witnessed the American, Jones, pick up an eight-inch golden Budha hastily!  Fortunately, he caught it on time otherwise, it would have broken his toes to pieces.  He forgot the Budha is extremely heavy. 

So what is our background, why should you believe us?  Well for almost six years we were in the Jewelry (underground) business, producing them in Bulacan and selling them to offices and friends.  Both of us had to study at TLRC, Technology and Livelihood Research Center about jewelry making, weighing gold and assessing its value and we had to take the course on pawnshop business as well. We were successful in it while we were at it, until we went into the export business, where we experienced more success for more than 10 years.
 
As days go by, I shall reveal to you our experiences, some exciting, some really dangerous.  I have the habit of documenting everything we do as I am research-oriented.  I have lots of pictures with me, unfortunately I threw away several and gave away some to those who were dying to see one, if at least have pictures of gold bars. I also have a compilation of Japanese markings and signs and will give you details of the digging we did somewhere in Binangonan, Rizal.  Unfortunately, we can not reveal to you the exact location because some diggers to this day live there, waiting for financiers to come by and believe their stories.
