Hello Gerardo: I was wondering when you would appear here 

I have read similar requests from you elsewhere.

HIDDEN JAPANESE WW2 TREASURE (PHILIPPINES):
Our team have discovered and documented more than 100+ suspected Japanese WW2 treasure sites, thru more than 20 years of treasure hunting experience, extensive research, exploration and actual operation. Treasure sites varies from a few tons up to several hundred tons gold.
We need partners to finance our treasure projects. For more info may contact: Gerry at , celfon:

Yamashita Treasure Secrets...EXPOSED
Gentlemen,
I don't know if young generation is still interested in Japs WW2 history specially the infamous Yamashita Treasure Secrets or Japs WW2 treasure or war booties...
Its a billion/trillion dollar secrets that the info and story had been "erased " in Japs WW2 history. I am willing to exposed it here the true-to-life stories of these Japs treasure adventure of a lifetime....is it a myth or real?
Post all your questions here...and I will answer the best i can...

You must expect scepticism. Luring Americans into false treasure hunts is an industry in your country, rather like the fake psychic surgery.

History Hunters uses evidential reasoning. Claims should be supported. Let's start with the two tons of gold in that safe: do you have some evidence for this - the evidence you used to find it, photos and videos of its recovery, evidence that a local politician took it?

As Admin says, we like to learn. We are less than keen on attempts to lure our members and visitors into danger.

Solomon,
In as much as all my rebuttal on this topic is lodged on TN I see no reason to add anything to what you have said other than, Bravo!
Doc

[gboy]

Treasure enthusiast,

   I think some of you may have read my post in TN....however, since this is another forum .....Let the adventure begins.....and hopefully I can add some infos regarding this thread...
   What do you want to know about Yamashita treasures?

Solomon,
   I understand your position...in fact I admire that you inquire first from us, before you blatantly doubt our story....extensive inquisition ...thats what I wanted from you guys... Bcoz true events and treasure adventures can withstand scrutiny...

   Maybe you have read my post in TN regarding our concrete vault (2 tons) that was taken by local politician?

We don't have picture of that vault...simply bcoz during that time...due to lack of budget, our eqp't is incomplete...in fact, the cause of confiscation, was due to lack of food budget and we go back to my partner house and left behind the concrete treasure vault....until it was confiscated...rest is history...

However, in August 2001, the other treasure recovery that was taken from us...64pcs. 12 kilos gold bar...although we don't have pictures....we have substantial proof.....the daed bodies of our comrades when they were ambushed when they attempted to deliver the gold to central bank...in fact it was a top headline tv/neswpaper during that time. In the news...the gold was reported as if it came from the mines...actually it was treasure gold...remelted inside the mines to hide markings...so that it can be sold legally...unfortunately...villains catch up with our team...

Any more Yamashita treasure questions?....lets expose these extensively...slowly...but surely..

[gboy]

Solomon and Diving Doc,

    Before we scrutinize these yamashita treasures ....

    Guys, can I ask you a small favor?....Maybe you have some assets in intel community or CIA....bcoz we are looking for a long lost friend of my partner's father ...his name is Frank B. Higdon....CIA/Gold Buyer in 1983-84....

    My partner's father (secret for now) is a friend of Mr. Frank B. Higdon...bcoz they have consumated sale of several thousand metric tons gold in 1983-84. My partner's father was Marcos military crony, and was assigned to produe gold (thru treasure hunting) and sell it to Mr. Frank Higdon....we have orig signed docu of frank and pictures of their meeting in my partners residence in 1983. My partners father after delivering thousand tons of gold to Frank...was never been payed, probably Mr. Frank Higdon was prevented by his CIA Boss or US gov't...we don't know...

    What we wanted is to get in touch with former CIA...Mr. Frank B. Higdon bcoz once he will knew that the old man (partner's father) was never been payed for his gold....am sure Mr. Higdon...will give him...even a small compensation....

    Actually we don't know the gold transactions of my partner's father and Mr. Frank Higdon in 1983-84. My partner was just grade 7 during that time....His father keep on reminding him...we have lots of money.....lets wait...up to now...no payment was paid. Since then, we research and we slowly gather some previous gold transaction docu...and internet infos... Thats why we wanted to relocate the whereabout of Mr. Higdon....My partner's father delivered him thousands tons gold (during Marcos time) and made him $billionaire... maybe its time for him to return the favor....
   Since Mr. Higdon was in his 60's in 1983 meeting...probably he is in his late 80's and probably staying in some Nursing or Cargegivers home...if Mr. Higdon knew that his friend in Phils was not been payed...am sure he will repay him or his heirs...somehow....
    Hopefully guys you can help me contact him....

read internet writeups re Frank B. Higdon....in Letter to former Phil. Pres. Corazon Aquino, Paragraph V, no. 2...regarding 1983-84 Frank B. Higdon gold transaction...

Frank B. Higdon
I found this reference on the web:
November 24, 1983
On this day a man named Jose Cruz-Cruzal was arrested when he arrived at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport from Manila. They found a plastic bag he was about to conceal in the small of his back. It contained documents that stated that Marcos wanted to borrow billions of dollars from banks through an American, Frank B. Higdon, living in Virginia. The collateral was "floors of gold" stored underneath a bank in Manila.

There is a Frank B. Higdon living in Virginia:


The Higdon Family Association, Inc.
Frank B. Higdon, First President
Frank B. Higdon was elected the first president of the Higdon Family Association, Inc. in October, 1976. Frank is the son of Arie and Frank Betts Higdon, Sr. In 1944, Frank married Doria in Washington, D. C. Frank is descended from Samuel Terrill Higdon born circa 1770-1775 in Georgia. Frank served as the Treasurer of the HFA for many years.

Frank received a bachelor of science degree from Southeastern University. He worked for two years at the Federal Bureau of Investigation; then Frank enlisted in the Air Force for two years. He obtained a master of science degree from Catholic University. Frank worked as a staff accountant for seven years. Then he opened his own firm Frank B. Higdon, CPA. Frank was one of the founders and an officer of the Alexandria Dukes, Carolina League Baseball Team.

Frank has always been willing to share information about his family line. His line as it descends from Samuel Terrill Higdon through Frank Betts Higdon, Sr. is available on this web site.

A man of that name is listed on the webiste of the University of Viginia:
Lost Classmates
If you have any information that may help us locate these "lost" alumni, please let us know via e-mail or by calling Alumni Hall at (434) 243-9000.
Mr. Frank B. Higdon

I suggest that you start with these two leads.

Solomon

[gboy]

Solomon,

    Thanks for these 2 leads...it maybe a good start.
    The picture of Mr. Farnk B. Higdon having a meeting with our old folks in Manila...during that time he is younger maybe late 50's or early 60's...he was accompanied by foriegner also Mr. Bustader (bearded guy).

     Actually, in 1983-84...we are not familiar with the foriegn visitors of our old folks. We are just the normal teenagers kids...listening to the latest demonstrations and anti-marcos rallies...Me and my bestfriend (his late father...Col. was Marcos Military crony and treasure partner) have seen lots of foriegn visitors having almost weekly meeting in my bestfriend house. It turned out that those meetings were gold transactions and negotiations. In 1986, after the fall of Marcos...my bestfriend house was twice raided by military (Pres. Aquino's soldiers), maybe trying to get some important documents and treasure proof. But my bestfriend father (the late Colonel) was wise enough to burned all pertaining documents....However, before the late Col died in 1989 he told some treasure infos/wherabouts to his son Budz (my bestfriend)...he keep also reminding him....that someday some foriegners may visits them and give them substantial amount of money. The Col. died poor (his local/banks acts. was sequestered)...waiting the promise payment of Mr. Frank B. Higdon...the exact amount of gold volume negotiated/sold ...we don't know. What we had was orig signed docu pertaining to initial sale of 2,000 pcs. 75 Kilo gold bars...
   
   Several years later as we grow older...we became a second generation treasure hunters, and start our own treasure hunt and gather some treasure hunting research and infos...we stumbled some old remaining docu, pictures and etc...some of those pictures are meeting of Frank Higdon, Bustader our old folks...re gold transactions...some docu contains the Import/Export companies they used to export gold...some Foundations that would expect and get huge money from abroad, personally signed letters, instructions to LLoyds of London personnel to visit the warehouse to inspect the gold stockpile...etc...
   
   Actually for us, these old docu, pictures are useless bcoz...it is expected that whatever our old folks gold transactions before or payment promises of the CIA / US gov't ...am sure will no longer be honored or fulfilled....meaning the gold our old folks delivered will no longer be repayed..
   
   However. since Mr. Frank B. Higdon had frequented in my bestfriend house for about a year...and today the usual delipadated and poor house remains...we are somehow hoping that Mr. Frank B. Higdon will be touched and get conscience....that the people he promised to repay..still remain poor despite delivering him thousand tons of gold....
Actually we understand that Mr. Higdon was just a gold broker and probably can't decide...however since he benefits most with these gold transaction. Hopefully he will remember the people he promised to repay in the Phils.
   These poor heirs, doesn't need much....all they need is a small compensation/ payment as promised to them...two decades ago.

[gboy]

Solomon,

    I tried to research more regarding whereabouts of Frank B. Higdon....still its dead end maybe indeed he was intentionally hidden by the US Gov't. Anyway, its just alright at least we have proven to our detractors that indeed a certain Frank B. Higdon exist...and his gold transaction exist...threfore yamashita treasure do exist...
   
    Its just astonishing the volume of gold that the Marcoses had recovered, sooner or later we will find it, for ourselves bcoz ....the remaining gold stockpile or treasure caves/tunnels that the Marcoses had reburried had been found by our team. Once our fund raising of our logistics/budget is complete...we will slowly explore these treasure caves that was previously hauled by the Marcoses men...how many gold stockpile would it be, we do not know yet...hopefully it would be huge...
   Bcoz based on our research (the late Col. told his son, my bestfriend) these caves was just been inspected and gold bars sample was been hauled...(ex: 3 pcs 75 kg in 1979)...the gold stockpiles remain intact, guarded by loyal Col. native guardian...

Any more questions regarding yamashita treasures?...feel free to ask...
