In those days my White's detector was primitive and certainly not water proof.
Made me think too bad they didn't have plastic trash bags back then, you maybe could have made it water proof !

The frequency of your same story, and posts are starting to really smack of spam...
I was intrigued the first couple times..
But...

On some of the treasure hunting sites and Philippine treasure articles i have see a number of marking that were said to me left by the Japanese to mark a area. Some on rocks , some carved on trees and tree stumps. ....
Sorry. But the moderator removed my first couple of postings because I listed my book website. I'm trying to stay within bounds of the rules. Cheers Nick
You'd be surprised how many stories/marks on trees/weirdly shaped rocks I was told about and marched hours to see them. There were a crazy number of scammers and con artists wanting to sell you information. The two things I had going for me was that, early on, the areas where I went were badlands and the lowlanders were afraid to go up there. Fortunately, I had my mountain tribesmen who were feared. I've heard the remote primitive areas I hunted aren't so remote anymore-- deforestation, mining and folks looking for treasure has raised havoc on the environment and the native peoples. At least I got to see it before it was ruined.

Hi Thanks for the comment. I guess you've probably never been faced with trying to search an area hundreds of square miles for treasure. You need to find any clues trying to narrow down a search area. I always relied on local stories-- especially from old villagers who were during the occupation. The old guy pointing to the rock was there during the war. The Japanese soldiers stationed in the area tended to be localized around the towns so any extraordinary place/sites I'd explore-- especially in conjunction with a story of the rock map. We dug in the pool/hole for a day. In this particular location we found lot's WWII Japanese gear and two gold religious medallions. I had a feeling that we should of dug deeper, but we just didn't have enough heavy equipment. I'd heard a couple of years later that Japanese nationals had explored this portion of the stream and used scuba equipment and construction equipment.
