T_hunter,
Of course, they are still in there... half-dozen or more maybe? SECRET
Those Sierra Madre caves main entrance are barred down, small secret passage was open, the natives accidentally found it bcoz some natives are fond of entering even small holes in the caves to get some bird nests...and voila they found it.
Some Sierra Madre cave/tunnel sites or Marcos reburried (maybe 3-4 cave/tunnel sites) they have native guardians. This tunnel entrance was close but it can be opened by rock boulder cover to hide the secret entrance, hiding the treasure, all you have to do is pushed the rock boulder and crawled underneath...and voila its there...5 feet high.. My TH partner Budz father put the treasure in there after they hauled it from the Japs shipwrecks in Cagayan during martial law days. And some treasure was recovered from Japs cargo plane and Budz father hide it in Sierra caves...with native guardian.
Anyways, everybody knows in Cagayan that Marcos had salvage a japs ship..where its actual reburried sites...SECRET
. Our number 1 problem with this site? Pasaway na mga local politician (part time treas hunter), they always harassed my TH team every time we attempt to revisit it bcoz they knows us already. But someday we will get it...madidiskartehan din namin yan.....SALISI style...hehehe
.
If we only wanted to compromise with local politicians there, we could have hauled it years ago, but we don't trust them....thats why its pending.
BTW, My TH partner Budz had still pictures of his father standing besides several au stockpiles more than 5 ft high taken in 1982...thats why we are 100% sure of that site...hehehe
In fact in 1983, Marcos and Budz father wanted this cave site to be sold. Loyd's of London and Johnson and Mathey people have been blindfolded and herded to this site for inventory and assay accompanied by Budz father...unfortunately Sen. Ninoy Aquino was assasinated...all hell broke loss...rest is history.
Most critics keep on asking why these native au holders was not able to sell 1 bar or take them to pawnshop?...
Of course they did...they have sold some of it ALREADY, to local buyers. Thats why they became closed or "suki" with the buyer and GO DIRECT (nagkaderitsahan na) and we lost some of them already.
We lost maybe 3 au holders already thru these years bcoz they were able to sell it to local buyers when we are not around (NAGKADERITSAHAN nagkaletse2 na, madalas palagi kasi kami dito sa manila eh, di mo naman basta2 mattyempuhan kailan bababa yon eh.)
BUT WE STILL HAVE A FEW LOYAL NATIVE ASSETS AND GUARDIANS HEHEHE....secret
