. MY friend's friend said that it's somewhat made of metal, quite rusty. He cannot give further information for lack of knowledge. We are a neophytes when it comes to this thing. I for one thing is not a treasure hunter nor my friend or my friend's friend. It's pure luck that he stumbled on this thing. I was only asked because of my access on internet. We are just honestly soliciting expert opinions on this matter. (For the record, many treasures has been found in our place. Some backhoe operators doing their operations accidentally excavated gold bars along the creeks while some others excavated treasures while ditching for conveyance. There's even rumor that hunting yamashita treasures or japs has been the main reason for establishing the plantation in our place.).
