Hi guys, newbie here and I really enjoyed reading the posts here considering that most members are Pinoy. The last reply was like 7 years ago but I was actually triggered to make my own opinion even though I'm not an expert on this stuff yet trying to gain more knowledge through reading. But again this is just my own opinion and respected all senior members. (Pioneer members who registered first). Most members got their point and I've agreed to some of them.
I am also following some TH blogs and articles from other sites and learned something to ponder on.
The original post from "cap miwa" last 2009 was about transporting at least a ton of Gold. Woooowww... I mean really. Maybe it's from a GL site or a site with big deposit. Still, it doesn't come to my mind on recovering those considering that it surely have Dangers like booby traps, bombs, poison gases etc. As of this time, what we are after are those just small deposits and giveways where it would be just shallow like a few meters deep and almost no danger at all like those mentioned above. And especially, it won't be requiring a big amount of money compared to those large deposit sites.
Now in my own opinion, a TON OF GOLD is so OVERWHELMING. IF EVER I could have that then TRANSPORTING that much loot would just by covering it with a PILE OF LIMESTONE since there is a quarry in our nearby town. (Considering that our soon to be operated site is not so distant to our home) SELL THAT MUCH? I don't need to. I think the best option would be just to sell a few bars only first. (Considering that I cut and melt it by a half kilogram only or even smaller since 1 kg of Gold would be about more than 2 Million pesos, right? For a reason that the buyer won't be asking much if its a WW2 loot and for safety purposes of course.) And then, if I could now have a trusted buyer then I can now dispose mayber 2 or 3 AU bars per month but still I will be melting it again to avoid the markings on the bar.
Then I can have a few investment on my own then help those Filipinos who are really in need. A TON OF GOLD would be much that we can build a hospital for free that benefits especially to the poor. Buy and invest TH equipment like water pumps, generator, safety equipments for digging, jackhammers, excavators, etc. Then of course, help those Treasure Hunters in the Philippines who needs some financial assistance for their project and lend some Detectors and GPRs for free.
******But my conclusion is, I won't opt in selling that much loot at once but just 1-3 bars only per month if 1 bar is around 6 Kg.
