Ship wrecks in the area
Since he is planning on scuba diving and under water detecting that area , most of the ships listed are Japanese from World war II and in fairly shallow waters . The area is considered to be really great diving and interesting with lots to see .. With a good detector he might find a few good war relics in the area of those ships but i doubt any thing that would be considered a treasure. With the water being fairly shallow there i imagine anything of real value has long been salvaged. There are sunken ships all over the Philippines from the Japanese and the Americans as well as the Spanish over the years but many of those are in much deeper water.
David, I love reading your insights to the Philippines . Since you have connections to there
Question: I know this post has to do with fumble fingers coins/jewelry . But the subject of "shipwrecks" also crept in. So: In your opinion, is there a lot of cultural superstition/belief in treasures there , with the Philippine people ? Eg.: Treasure stories here and there, Yamashita, etc..... ?
Most of the time, whenever we see , on a forum from someone in the Philippines, it's typically about big-ticket-treasures. Not beaches or coin-shooting.
