Thanks Dumagat, I had a feeling that you just might really know your stuff. I was a little dissapointed that you didn’t answer my question, but that’s ok, because I would like to change it a bit.
How much treasure have you foud yourself (Actually found, not just located as in “it is under a statue but we can’t get it”, since that treasure can’t be proven to be there) and how much of this treasure has been found in general that you know of?
Also, I’m still interested in your personal experiences as a treasure hunter. What do you do to hunt treasure? I’m sure a lot of research is involved, but do you also interview locals and go out to scan out areas or do you depend mostly on historical records and written history?
Based on your reply, you live in the Philipines, so I am guessing you have a chance to go out and scout out locations you suspect first hand. Are you a full-time treasure hunter, or is it a hobby?
I am pretty confident that English is not your first language, so I also understand how you may have taken some of the joking and light-hearted comments to be personally insulting. Please uderstand that this is not directed at you, the forum has a light-hearted nature. Please don’t expect people in a public duiscussion forum to take this seriously like in a classroom, it just doesn’t work that way. Also realise that some of what we say you probably are not understanding the real meaning because of this language barrier, the tone of buth of your posts was a little pushy and agressive as Tah poited out, but I suspect it is due to the translation from one language to the other leading to a less-than-perfect choice of words to covey a message.
For example, you may wish to call them “The Japanese” instead of Japs, since in a lot of the world, the term Japs is used in a derogatory sense. If you called a group of Japanese people in Vancouver Japs, you would likely be served up the next day at the local Sushi bar…
You obviously take this topic very seriously and have learned a lot about it, and that is definitely welcome in this thread!
Thanks Again for the reply and also in advance for the new questions I have asked.
