I've always been fascinated by WW2, one of my favourite eras in history.

Not only the NAZIs, but the Japanese. They are rumored to have buried loads of loot in the Philippines. Sometime after the war some former Japanese soldiers built a resort on one of the islands.

If I found a secret treasure, why would I give it to the authorities. All that hard work and I'm keeping it, sorry.

Some of you may find this of interest. You can even find stories of lost treasure in your state.

Any treasure I find will be melted down into gold nuggets which I will find on a prospecting trip. Yeah I am fantasizing, but that is what treasure is for.
