Hi TW,
The story of markers used by some cheaters, happened in one of the town in Zambales, since there are some area here where kilometers of tunnels can be found, and markers of different size and figures can be located. It is also the place of the underground hospital of Japanese forces in that area. In one of the foothill in this area, "artist" are making treasure markings, as I have mentioned before, based on the circulating treasure markers used by hunters. They invite unsuspecting american, Filipino hunters to check their "marker", in which they were able to make it look like "old age". Since these people look innocent and serious, and the markers look genuine, hunters show interest in the said area. And this is where the bargaining starts, from sharing proposal as land owner, to goodwill money amounting to thousands of pesos. It was reavealed later by one of the son who makes these "treasure markers".
