    there were color code books, number code books, etc. Ben the gatekeeper had 2 daughters who inherited the books maps and accounts.

    Ohh so the allies knew of the treasure and executed the general who knew where it was? …And knew the names of all the subordinates involved with the looting and hiding of it?…Either they’ve already gotten what he hid 70+ years ago, or they were the most inept bunch of morons on earth.

    I’m having the boring company come out with a 60 foot drill I will get you into that mountain…

  7. Legendary Explorer on July 9, 2021 at 8:15 pm

    What if that Grandpa has sworn to protect the treasure till his death. And the treasure is somewhere else. Lol



  8. booyah2651 on July 9, 2021 at 8:15 pm

    “What should I look for” how about the hole in the ground that you just showed several shots of, probably easier to find than a pyramid symbol.



  9. Kiritto San bitter on July 9, 2021 at 8:16 pm

    it was already found by Roxas



  10. scott kovacs on July 9, 2021 at 8:16 pm

    Why are other people finding the treasure you all can’t find anything



  11. IMAKINS B on July 9, 2021 at 8:16 pm

    Use the Bible to find out where all that gold originated! And you will find out it originated all in the Philippines and it is being brought all over the world…



  12. Russ Ream on July 9, 2021 at 8:19 pm

    Tune in next week, where once again you will spend 45 min of your life watching people find nothing again.



  13. Phil Widdifield on July 9, 2021 at 8:19 pm

    Still exciting and stirs the imagination, pretty cool n my book!



  14. holy fit on July 9, 2021 at 8:22 pm

    I hate that I just waste 40 minutes of my life on nothing



  15. raged maximus on July 9, 2021 at 8:23 pm

  20. Tyler Brown on July 9, 2021 at 8:34 pm

    I first heard about the gold from the game Medal of Honor: Rising Sun. There is a level called "Yamashita’s Gold".



  21. Kurt Bjorn on July 9, 2021 at 8:34 pm

    Cyanide, exposed to the environment, degrades into harmless compounds. No such thing as "deadly, lingering cyanide vapors." Unbroken bottles, perhaps. But this, no.



  22. ursulo rios-ochoa on July 9, 2021 at 8:35 pm

    Well did they found anything?



  23. Chris Laursen on July 9, 2021 at 8:35 pm

    Complete fantasy but sometimes the treasure is in the story.



  24. kenneth haus on July 9, 2021 at 8:38 pm

    why not use LiDAR to scan the ground and find it



  33. Savage Saint on July 9, 2021 at 8:50 pm

    Yoda and Bill O’Riley.



  34. Thug Nasty on July 9, 2021 at 8:51 pm

    Can some one save me the time and tell me if they ever found the gold?



  35. Bert Saenz on July 9, 2021 at 8:52 pm

    Let me save you some time. They never find anything, they have silly imaginations, and the ads are really annoying with fake built suspense. Save your time doing anything else.



  36. wave haven on July 9, 2021 at 8:52 pm

    Only the Japanese told where the gold is to save themselves from death…something they inflicted on millions. Like Saadam… hid from death.



  37. Shae Shae on July 9, 2021 at 8:53 pm

    The heart is the pyramid



  38. Jason Hyde on July 9, 2021 at 8:53 pm

    I hope you all continue this hunt atleast for my grandfathers brother " Carl Edson Hyde Private! Joined Army corps February 27 1941 Buffalo N.Y. He joined the Gorillas and disappeared in the mountains M.I.A . March 7th 1942! Would love to see closure of my grand dads brothers where abouts! But chances are slim! He was stationed At Bataan Luzon Provence!



  39. charles mccubbins on July 9, 2021 at 8:53 pm

    I was there at Fort Santiago with Curtis (Tahoe)



  40. King Edmond James Rothschild on July 9, 2021 at 8:54 pm

    Manny call a black water I want that area 100% secured



  41. jamegumm on July 9, 2021 at 8:55 pm

    BS: NO ONE CALLS HIM GRAMPA, it’s “Lolo”



  42. Z avla on July 9, 2021 at 8:56 pm

    You wont find it. President Ferdinand Marcos already have it and disperse it to his different accounts in the Philippines and all over the world. In his last will and testament.. he said that it will be for the Filipino people and for the benefit of humanity.



  43. King Edmond James Rothschild on July 9, 2021 at 9:01 pm

    Look at Fort Knox then look at the pyramid shaped structure that they built their base out of they were in and doing contracts with concrete a new form of art for them……

    That old man is a mercenary and is directed to steer you to the mountain when the real treasure is in the town under old buildings and artifacts



  44. Tim Cruz on July 9, 2021 at 9:01 pm

    Yamashita”’s treasure codes are tricky .They will send you in the opposite/different directions.



  45. elk addiction on July 9, 2021 at 9:02 pm

    How much money and time have you spent? I have a real treasure hunt.



  46. Samuel Flórez on July 9, 2021 at 9:05 pm

  47. LDG 508 on July 9, 2021 at 9:06 pm

    stopped watching 20 minutes in do to the fact that the mysterious bottle at the bottom of the hole that’s been sitting there for 70yrs didn’t have any dust or dirt on it, looks like it was just thrown down there 5 minutes before smh
