..... Anybody else hear of this ???
Hawgdawg, The story is utter ghost-story legend nonsense. 2 clowns go out chasing a silly legend. They go out with magic wands (dowsing) and whatever-other-instruments, think they got signals. Well, ... OF COURSE it's got to be the millions in dollars of gold, right ? Just like Oak Island, Just like Yamashita, etc.... But then ......... durned that govt. red tape . Because, of course , it's all a grand conspiracy by the govt. to 'keep the treasure for themselves', right ? Otherwise, why ELSE would they say "no" to digging on govt. land ? I smell a conspiracy, don't you
And then notice that whenever they ("Finderskeepers") posts, it's always phrased in the past tense "found". Yet , ask him : "How much gold have you actually brought to the surface , looked at, held, etc... ?" ABSOLUTELY NONE ! Because in their mind's eyes, having a legend, a treasure map, some cryptogram clues, some shady government coverup claims, a supposed signal on their instruments, etc.... all means that they've "found" (past tense) a treasure. It's narrowed down to a certain meadow, or certain cave, or certain lake bottom, etc.... . Now it's merely a matter of getting heavy equipment go 50 ft. deep through solid rock. Or a detector that goes 6 meters deep. Or overcoming govt. hurdles. But rest assured, they've "found" (past tense) something.
And when they couldn't get govt. clearances to do some crazy exploit, they went and made a big stink to the media. Till finally, they get one or two to muse "Have 2 men found the lost treasure of such & such ?". Which people like you, take to mean in the affirmative "found" (past tense). But when you read closer, NOTHING'S BEEN FOUND. And after they make a big stink to LEO agencies, media, etc.... then they can point to the "smoke" as evidence of a "fire". But the truth is : THEY'RE the ones "making the smoke". A big stink about nothing.
It's just ghost story nonsense. They are a black eye embarrassment to the md'ing hobby.
