Treasure Site # 1 (Potential)

Am not addicted to treasure hunting, but sometimes I wanted to see if those treasure myths are really true.

Because of my eagerness to see a real treasure, I sometimes go with my friends to some sites that are potential burial of Japanese Treasures.

Last 2012, I meet a man somewhere in Calinan, and while we are talking, he sometimes told me about a place where a Japanese General lives before world war 2.

He told me about it because he wanted me to see it and because I wonder why he is talking about it I asked him,

 " Why you told me about it?, he replied, " because I figured you out that you are a Trasure Hunter." Then I laughed and replied, "Hahaha, actually I am not but I wanted to see those things if really true."

To make the story short he shows me the site and one by one we visited the possible markers or signs that can lead us to the treasure burial location.

But due to time constraint and for my busy job we didn't able to explore the site.

And for my future reference and when I meet somebody that is interested about treasures, I mapped the site according to what my friend told me.

Please see it below to let you judge if it is really a possible site for burying treasures.

Day Thirty Nine (2015) - LAKE AGCO (A Secret Eden in the City), Illomavis, Kidapawan

Lake Agko is a steaming blue lake where hot and cold springs converge. It stands at an elevation of 4,200 feet above sea level.

Because of this exciting Blue Lake at the high ground, a group of Mountain Rangers explore the secret Eden of Kidapawan.

The Treasure Myth Of Dumlan

Maybe this myth is true but I don’t think so.

This Myth begins when somebody found a square nail nailed at the base of the biggest durian tree along the baranggay road of Dumlan.

The story goes like this.

When the war between the Japanese and the American about to ends during the World War II, a group of Japanese soldier tried to withdraw with some Filipino prisoners. Every four prisoners carried one box made of wood with gold bars inside it.

When they arrived at the heart of Baranggay Dumlan and when they knew that the American soldiers following them, they stop and force the Filipino prisoners to dig a hole somewhere to hide all the boxes with gold bars.

As accounted by the living witness they don’t know of the exact location of the burial of those treasures because it was midnight and they are not familiar of the place.

The Filipino prisoners are not familiar but the Japanese were so much familiar in this baranggay. In fact, the Japanese Officials leading them were the owners of some Abaca Plantations in this baranggay.

This was confirmed by my Grandpa when he is still alive, in fact one of this officer he encountered once, and at the times of the war the Three Officers leading its men to mount five machine guns surrounding my Grandpas house and looking for him but they did not capture him because before the time of the raid they are already informed by their friends that the Japanese Officials will arrest him.

This Japanese Officials are the owners of the 28 hectares of land owned by my Grandpa after the World War II.

Below is a mapping I made of the potential location of the lost treasure at Baranggay Dumlan.

This was base of the unique positioning of the Big durian trees planted at the heart of the Baranggay and most of these trees were located at our lot.

And  It’s up to you to decide whether this Myth is true or Just a Myth.
