Original subtitles

‐ Tonight...

on "The Lost Gold of World War II."

‐ There was a waterfall

and something that looked like a monkey head

behind the waterfall.

‐ I want to scour every vertical face on this waterfall.

Holy !

‐ We'll just strip away the vegetation

without even hurting a single leaf.

It's like digital napalm.

‐ Unfrickin' real.

You could fit 30, 40 people in here.

Holy crap.

There's markers on these rocks.

‐ For 70 years, legends have been told

of a buried treasure

shrouded in danger.

One of the great mysteries of World War II.

‐ Something very secretive and strange

has gotta be buried in that mountain.

‐ A covert operation

led by the notorious General Tomoyuki Yamashita.

Now a team of Americans is on the hunt

for this lost chapter in World War II history.

‐ There's something right here in this area.

‐ The question we have right now is,

what is the best way to get inside this mountain?

‐ If you go there, you will all die.

‐ The Japanese didn't want you to find the treasure.

We're not gonna give up.

Lost Gold of World War II Season 1 - EP 2 - X Marks the Spot

Subtitles Diego Moraes / Ewerton Henrique www.oakisland.tk

‐ We moved some dirt here.

‐ Peter Struzzieri and his partner, John Casey,

are at the site of Breach 6,

a large shaft they located

after a tip from Grandpa, the local farmer,

who says he saw Japanese soldiers

carrying mysterious crates into the mountain

during World War II.

‐ Breach 6 was allegedly dug

by unknown treasure hunters

attempting to find a concrete tunnel system

where Yamashita's men may have hidden these crates.

‐ Grandpa says this poison killed the people

who dug Breach 6.

‐ Let's get the excavator in here and tear it up.

Let's see what that's made out of.

‐ Now, with Breach 6 opened up from the side

to vent possible poison gas,

heavy equipment operator Brad Carr

will dig straight toward what they hope

is a concrete cap that may be sealing a side tunnel

dug by Yamashita and his men.

‐ John, you still there?

‐ Yeah, I gotcha, go ahead.

‐ What are you seeing?

It's certainly noy flaking off like concrete.

‐ It's like...

maybe like sand or coagulated mud.

I'm gonna pull back so we can take a look at it.

Certainly doesn't look like concrete, bro.

‐ Oh, man, check this out.

‐ Looks like clay or a silt.

‐ Silt. It's like silt.

It's dried silt.

Look at that.

‐ We decided to dig into this concrete cap,

and lo and behold, it's not concrete at all.

It's some sort of silty material.

We expected to find concrete, didn't.

It's kinda disappointing, you know.

There's no side tunnel.

But if it's not concrete,

how did it get there?

What happened in Breach 6?

‐ Look at that, and look at how easy it went in!

Look at how sandy that ledge is

where I took the scoop, and I could only pull back.

‐ How the hell would silt get in here?

‐ It was possibly deposited by water at one point.

‐ Evidence of silt suggests a large volume of water

once filled Breach 6.

‐ It's one more piece of our puzzle.

‐ One plausible explanation is that over many years,

rainwater washed silt down into Breach 6,

but there's one problem

the silt is only concentrated in part of the shaft

as if it entered from the side.

There's another possibility

a water trap deliberately planned

by Yamashita's engineers.

In 2016,

three men searching another site in the Philippines

died when the shaft they were digging

suddenly filled with water.

It's alleged that Yamashita chose to bury treasure

near water sources.

Water would be contained behind a thin wall,

and if treasure hunters breached it,

a flood of water would be released.

‐ If it's possible that this is a water trap,

we really don't want to screw with that.

Break through that silt,

a gusher could come in

and fill this all up completely.

‐ Breach 6 seems to be laced with booby traps.

Grandpa said that some people died down there.

We found a possible cyanide bottle.

It is a bottle. Look at it!

Possible evidence of water traps.

I think we need to find another way

of getting into the mountain.

‐ With further exploration of Breach 6 on hold,

Peter and John return to base camp

to discuss their next move.

‐ You know, we never would have found Breach 6

without Grandpa's help.

Pete, we've really got lucky.

I mean, if this hole wasn't right next to the pyramid,

there's no way we would have found this,

except for falling into it by accident.

‐ What about that road that you were following

where there was the collapsed area?

‐ These rocks here, even look at this one here.

Look how it's just shattered to death here?

‐ What about going back there?

That was over here someplace.

‐ We'll never get an excavator up there.

Try to dig it by hand, it will take us forever.

‐ Okay, so where else can we go?

‐ Well, look at this place.

I mean, like I said, it's just so densely

packed with vegetation.

You know, no one's been up there

since the Japanese were here.

There's not a road, there's nothing.

You can't see anything. ‐ Yeah, I know, I can see that.

‐ You know, even a regular drone

couldn't see through the canopy.

I mean, you look up, you don't see any of the sky.

You just see leaves.

‐ There could be hundreds of treasure sites here.

There could be thousands of clues.

‐ I agree. ‐ On this whole mountain here.

What do you think the best way is to find those?

‐ I'm thinking about LiDAR. ‐ LiDAR?

‐ It's called LiDAR, Light Detection and Ranging.

‐ LiDAR is a highly accurate aerial scanning method

that uses pulses of laser light to measure the ground

and create a 3D map of the earth.

First developed by the American government,

LiDAR burst onto the world stage

during the 1971 Apollo 15 lunar mission

when astronauts used it to map the surface of the moon.

Now the team hopes the same technology

can help them scan the mountain

and reveal additional treasure sites

not visible to the naked eye.

‐ We'll see the land,

we'll see all the elevation changes,

all the boulders, all the rocks,

waterfall features, everything.

‐ You know anyone that can help us with this?

‐ Yeah, I got a couple of friends in the States.

I'll give them a call.

I'm sure we can get them out here pretty soon.

‐ Give them a call. Make that happen.

Let's get someone out here.

‐ While John makes arrangements

for a LiDAR team to visit the mountain,

he also arranges for the team's head researcher,

Bingo Minerva, to meet with one of his contacts

who has also searched for Yamashita's treasure.

‐ I am in Northern Idaho on my way to meet a gentleman

named Rick Hurt, who was a treasure hunter

in the Philippines about 20 years ago.

I'm hoping he has any information about our site.

Hey, Rick.

‐ Yeah, you must be Bingo.

‐ Good to finally meet you. ‐ It is nice to meet you.

‐ I've come a long way. Thanks for taking the time.

‐ Yeah, no problem, man.

‐ Two decades ago, Rick was part of a group

searching for treasure in Northern Luzon

and may have some information

about who dug the mysterious Breach 6.

‐ So, how did you get involved in treasure hunting

in the Philippines?

‐ I was working for a State Department official

that was in Manila.

I was offered an opportunity

to go to the Philippines

for a base metal project.

While I was looking for the base metals,

I had people coming to me,

"Are you interested in gold? Are you looking for gold?"

Then I found out about Yamashita's gold, you know.

And then it started to get more and more interesting.

I thought, "Well I'm here.

Maybe I should check into some of this."

And about that time, I was introduced to a man

named Colonel Coriasso.

‐ According to Rick,

he worked with Coriasso

whom at the time was a Filipino colonel

helping the Philippine government

search for Yamashita's treasure

‐ He had a map, and it was on a piece of cloth.

I mean, it ‐ Fairly old?

‐ It looked really old.

It had some symbols that I didn't recognize at all.

‐ But definitely Japanese origin.

‐ Yes.

‐ According to Rick,

Colonel Coriasso's mission

was guided by an old treasure map

that depicted mysterious symbols

known to have been used by General Yamashita.

It is believed these symbols were a code devised

by a secret group called The Golden Lily,

a name chosen by Emperor Hirohito

after a favorite poem he'd written.

Run by his brother, The Golden Lily

allegedly amassed treasure looted throughout Asia

in territories conquered by the Japanese Army.

When the U. S. Navy shut down shipping to Japan,

The Golden Lily supposedly charged

General Yamashita with hiding it.

‐ Could this have been a Golden Lily map?

‐ I'm pretty sure, yeah.

On the map it had a creek and a waterfall,

and, uh, a pyramid rock.

‐ Really?

That's one of the reasons why I'm here today.

We have a pyramid rock on our project.

So, is this the pyramid that you saw?

‐ Yeah, that is the pyramid I saw.

‐ It sounds like you were on our exact same mountain.

‐ Well, that's really interesting.

‐ In Idaho, head researcher Bingo Minerva

meets with Rick Hurt, a contact of John Casey's

who confirms he was treasure hunting

on their mountain 20 years ago.

‐ Next to that pyramid rock is a massive hole.

This is what the locals refer to as Breach 6.

‐ Wow.

‐ Did you dig this hole next to the pyramid?

‐ That was not there when I was here.

‐ Do you think Colonel Coriasso

could have gone to this site after you had left?

‐ It's a possibility.

‐ According to Grandpa,

others have come to the mountain in search of treasure.

But who actually dug Breach 6 remains a mystery.

‐ There were several gold locations in that area

based on Colonel Coriasso's map.

‐ Do you have a copy of this map?

‐ I don't, I don't.

I wasn't allowed to take a picture of it.

I'll draw it for you, as close as I can.

So, the mountain was up here,

and then there was the pyramid rock...

like that.

‐ Were there any trails at all on the map?

‐ There was a trail over here

like it was headed to a tunnel that had been blasted shut.

‐ That's just like Grandpa's trail.

‐ It's a pretty damn wide trail too.

Everywhere we look, just fractured rock.

‐ So what are some other features on this map

that were shown? I mean, any other markers maybe?

‐ There was a stream that kinda came this way

to a waterfall.

And something that looked like a monkey head‐shaped rock

behind the waterfall.

‐ You're kidding me. That's super interesting.

‐ I thought it looked more like a gorilla.

And you could kinda see these eyebrow‐looking things.

It was amazing.

‐ Are you sure it was a gorilla behind a waterfall?

‐ I'm pretty sure, yeah.

‐ Well, that's kind of a huge lead for us.

That's really strange.

I wonder if that could be a Golden Lily marker?

I bet the guys are gonna be really excited

hearing about that.

I'm sure they're gonna wanna go explore that option next.

‐ The next day, Bingo reports back to the team

about his meeting in Idaho with Rick Hurt.

‐ He says that Coriasso had an old Japanese map,

possibly a Golden Lily treasure map.

They had a lot of things on this map

that were similar to the stuff you guys are finding right now.

‐ What else can you tell us about this Colonel Coriasso?

‐ Not much. I've done some research,

and so far I haven't found anything on him.

But I'll keep looking.

‐ What about Coriasso's map?

‐ Well, here's the really weird thing.

On that map that Rick drew for me,

he found either an ape or a monkey face

inside a waterfall.

‐ That sounds to me like that's a face marker.

In my treasure‐hunting experience,

face markers are really important

because it's either looking at the treasure,

or the next marker to take you to the treasure.

‐ It is believed in The Golden Lily Code

face markers can be either human or animal

and would be large in size

so they could be seen from great distances.

Typically, the eyes were the most important feature,

providing vital hints about the location of hidden treasure.

‐ This could be our next most important clue, okay?

We need to go and find that face.

‐ Remember when we did the flyover in the plane?

We saw that huge waterfall.

I think that's the best place to start.

We should start at the top of that waterfall,

work our way down.

I bet you that face marker is somewhere in there.

‐ You take Manny, go up to the waterfall

and start searching around there.

Find me that gorilla marker.

‐ All right. I'll get Manny.

We'll get goin' right now.

I think the best thing to do is to go down the waterfall,

check every single nook and cranny

and find this gorilla face.

I wanna scour every inch of this waterfall.

I want to see this face.

I want to know it's the real deal.

Ready to rock and roll, Manny.

‐ Doing good. Doing good!

‐ I'm gonna go down a little lower.

‐ What are you seeing?

‐ It definitely looks like it's a lot smoother

than the rest of the rocks here.

It's hard to say.

There's a lot of vegetation blocking it.

I'm gonna see if I can get a little closer.

But it's so slimy over there,

I don't know if I can get out there.

I think I see like a

[ cracking ] Holy !

Holy smokes!

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

I'm good. I'm good.

I've been rock climbing for a lot of years,

but once you get yourself out on waterfalls,

it's really slippery, really dangerous.

One wrong move, you could die.

Hold on a second.

You know, the rock that all the water is hitting

is actually looking like it was carved out,

to some extent.

It looks like it has, like, an eye socket carved in it.

‐ Wow.

‐ I want to take a picture of it.

Let me go down a little lower and see if I can see what it is.

‐ All right.

‐ Look at that!

‐ What does it look like?

‐ Like a gorilla's head.

That's carved in there.

That's the one, Manny!

‐ High up the mountain at the waterfall,

following a lead from U. S. researcher Bingo Minerva,

John Casey has discovered what he believes

to be the face of a gorilla carved into the rock wall.

And where its eyes are looking

may possibly lead him to Yamashita's treasure.

‐ As I look into the waterfall,

I see some type of carving in it.

Looks like somebody chiseled a face into it.

It looks good.

I can actually see that the gorilla

it actually looks like a carved gorilla.

It's got a definite eye socket and a face.

A brow.

It's definitely got a brow, and an eye socket.

‐ Which way is it looking? ‐ It's hard to say.

There's a lot of vegetation blockin' it.

I'm gonna try to swing over towards this vegetation,

see if I can get a look around the other side of it.

‐ All right, let me know if you need anything.

‐ I'm trying to get out where his eyeball

was looking over there.

But it's so damn slippery that I'm gonna kill myself.

‐ We don't want that. ‐ No.

I want to avoid that.

Manny, take up the line.

‐ All right, John.

‐ Thank you, sir.

Manny, this waterfall is hiding something.

We just gotta figure out what it is.

‐ John heads back to base camp

to share his findings with the team.

‐ So, how'd it go up at the waterfall?

‐ Well, I have to say, it was pretty hairy.

It's very slippery up there.

You can't really manipulate yourself as much as you'd like.

But I was able to rappel down and actually found the gorilla.

‐ Oh, ho, ho! Look at that.

That's just super.

‐ If that ain't a gorilla's face,

I don't know what is.

Now the problem was, is that,

A) there's a lot of water coming down,

everything as soon as it's wet.

‐ I see the water coming, coming all around.

What was that?

‐ Well, it looks like teeth to me,

the teeth and maybe the nose,

and then the brow of the head.

You can see kind of like a little

where his brow would be and his eye socket.

‐ Can you tell me which way the eyes were looking?

‐ You know, it's really hard to say

because there was so much water flowing over there

and it was so slippery.

Once your boots got wet, forget it.

You wereit was like being on marbles.

It was kinda scary.

‐ How do you want to proceed with this here?

‐ I think we should still look around the waterfalls

and everything else,

but I'm not goin' back up to this area

until it's totally dry or this weather calms down.

You reallyyou can't explore this any more

until the dry season.

‐ Following the advice of their eyewitness, Grandpa...

‐ What should I look for?

‐ ...the team has found several symbols

that, according to Martin,

coincide with The Golden Lily code

A pyramid,

a set of box markers next to Breach 6,

a pack animal trail leading to a possible collapsed tunnel,

as well as a possible gorilla face marker.

But the team has yet to find a viable way

inside the mountain.

To help with their search, the LiDAR team arrives

to conduct its aerial scan of the 5,000‐foot mountain

and hopefully reveal a potential opening.

‐ Hey, guys.

Welcome to the jungle. ‐ How you doing?

‐ Good. Yourself? ‐ Good to meet you.

‐ How was your ride?

I'm super excited to have you guys here.

‐ Yep, we're ready to go. ‐ Absolutely.

‐ All right. Let's get stuff done.

‐ Jamie and his team wrote the book

on this type of technology.

What they will show us will be invaluable

to what we do on this mountain.

There's so many places on this mountain

that the Japanese could have potentially

buried treasure or brought treasure to.

And having that LiDAR here

is key to getting into the mountain.

‐ According to Grandpa,

the Japanese army hid crates inside treasure vaults

and then blasted the entrances closed.

By scanning the jungle floor,

the LiDAR technology will detect traces of roads and pathways

that existed generations ago,

possibly used by Yamashita's men

to haul treasure up the mountain during World War II.

‐ So, if it's here, we'll see it with that.

‐ A sensor with 360‐degree vision

is mounted beneath the drone.

As it flies, it fires rapid pulses of laser light

toward the ground,

and then measures how long it takes

for the light to return to the sensor.

Collecting millions of measurements per second

enables the LiDAR to produce a 3D map of the area.

The goal?

Reveal what could lie beneath the dense foliage.

‐ We'll just strip away the vegetation

without even hurting a single leaf.

‐ Nice.

‐ It's like digital napalm.

‐ All right, it's spinning up.

All right, taking off.

Right now we're at 150 feet.

‐ When the drone reaches its cruising altitude,

the LiDAR begins scanning the mountain

gathering the data for its 3D map.

‐ Is that a road going across the top over there?

‐ Yep, that's a road. ‐ Wow.

Scan the whole thing.

I want to see everything.

Don't miss a spot.

I want to see where the Japanese actually drove their trucks

or had their encampments.

Show me something really good.

‐ High on the mountain,

the LiDAR team continues their aerial scan,

searching for old trails

leading to concealed tunnel entrances

where General Yamashita is believed to have hidden

treasure during World War II.

‐ Man, that was pretty awesome, huh?

Just imagine all that data we're gonna get.

‐ I need you guys to step back.

‐ Nice job! Thank you.

‐ Well, we just used the best technology on the planet,

and the data they provide with their LiDAR

is gonna certainly come in handy

and help us find this treasure.

‐ Later that day back at base camp,

the LiDAR team is ready to share their results

a digital map of the surface of the mountain

with all the vegetation removed.

‐ Show us what you got.

‐ So, this is the surface model

we have with all the vegetation in the way.

‐ That's a lot of vegetation. ‐ There's a lot of it.

And I will turn off that vegetation.

‐ Ooh, look at that! That is sweet!

‐ So this is the bare earth model.

This is just ground.

‐ That's unbelievable.

You can see all the nooks and crannies,

every elevation, every little run‐off area.

This is just awesome.

‐ So, if you think this is impressive,

I actually took the time

to digitize all the trails that I found.

Let me bring that up.

‐ A‐ha. ‐ Holy moly!

‐ There are the trails in there.

‐ That is more than I even anticipated

we were gonna see. That is just unreal.

There's a hell of a lot of trails and roads

possibly all over this mountain that we couldn't see before.

The possibility of Yamashita's treasure being here,

based on just what we're seeing,

is phenomenal.

So those trails,

either if they were foot trails or footpaths,

they just go up into the mountain and...they stop.

Why would it just dead‐end somewhere,

especially into the side of a hill?

‐ This right here could be a cave entrance.

‐ What makes you think that it's a cave

based on just what we're seeing?

‐ How the path that goes up to it,

like right here,

there's a depression right here.

We have to go up there and look at it

to try to really understand what's going on there.

‐ It looks like it's actually like the entranceway

to something.

‐ Yep, it looks like in that you could probably get in there.

‐ If there's a possibility

that there is a pathway dead‐ending at a cave,

I want to see it.

I'm taking Jamie, we're going up there,

we're gonna find it.

‐ Using the LiDAR map,

technician Jamie leads John

to what they believe is the cave's location.

‐ Oh, yes.

This looks like the entrance!

So happy that LiDAR picked this up.

Probably taken us months to find this on our own,

it's so buried back in here.

Unfrickin' real.

‐ Oh, yes!

Look at the size of this rock.

I mean, holy crap.

Yeah, it's frickin' you could fit

30, 40 people in here.

‐ Look at the amount of soot on the ceiling.

‐ Oh, yeah.

‐ They were making some fires in this place,

for sure, for a while.

‐ Initially, the cave seems ordinary,

but after inspecting it further,

John believes it might house important clues.

Utilizing caves like this is typical

of Japanese military tactics in World War II.

During the Battle of Peleliu in 1944,

the U. S. Marines amphibious assault

of the small volcanic island

was predicted to take only five days,

but it lasted more than two months.

because the 11,000 Japanese defenders bunkered down

in the island's natural system of caves.

More than 10,000 Japanese soldiers were killed

before it was over.

A group of 35 managed to hold out

for an additional 18 months living in a cave,

only surrendering in 1947,

a full year and a half after World War II ended.

‐ You just imagine, you know,

they had a back door entrance here.

They got clean water access over there.

You can go bathe in the creek.

You got a good defensive position

because you can climb up onto the top of this rock

from the back side and look out over the valley,

see if anybody's coming.

And then there'syou know, got plenty of room in here.

‐ Well, John, we're not just gonna come in here

and see a big treasure like, laying here,

so like, where do you think it is?

‐ Could be underneath this giant boulder under here.

And, you know, the way they've set things up,

these big rocks and stuff, you move one out of the way,

another one comes crashing down

and you're here forever.

Like this rock that's balanced underneath here,

it's kinda wedged in.

So, they could have moved these and put them in place.

Holy crap.

There's markers on these rocks.

See? A couple of carvings right there.

I start looking around the cave.

I do a little further investigation and

right around the corner,

there is the most amazing carvings,

Japanese carvings,

Japanese markers all over the place.

Look at that!

I'm in love with this place.

I never wanna go anywhere else.

‐ That's super cool.

There's a couple of carvings right there.

‐ That is fricking unbelievable.

Definitely a great indicator

that they were burying something around here.

Wow, this is unbelievable.

I love it, love it, love it.

Dude, that's amazing.

If you look at it through the camera, you know,

it actually starts becoming a marker.

‐ John thinks these carvings seem similar

to symbols he studied

allegedly used by The Golden Lily

to designate one of their treasure sites.

‐ If I look close at the scratch mark,

I can see the edges

of where it's actually been scratched down,

as opposed to like a lot of these chip marks

in it that are just chipped off.

So that's giving me some indication that it's a marker.

The more I look at it here,

I see a lot of this could be old Japanese carving in here.

Look at the intricacy of what they've done here.

The carvings on this rock are amazing.

We really need Martin to take a look at this

and tell us what's going on.

Is this cave connected to the tunnel system?

Is there treasure in it?

What's this rock trying to tell us?

I'm gonna get a picture of this for the boys

and they are gonna be super stoked.

‐ Back at base camp,

John updates Peter and Martin about his discovery.

‐ If we hadn't had this LiDAR data,

we would've never found it.

You could walk right past the opening

to the front side of it and

and just walk right by it and not even know it was there.

So, you know, it could've been a great lookout point

or an outpost for the Japanese.

‐ What was inside the cave?

‐ Inside the cave was really interesting.

There was this huge rock as you come in,

and on that rock had different cut lines and cut marks,

and markers all over the damn thing.

‐ Did you take any pictures of it?

‐ I did. ‐ And how big is this rock?

‐ This rock is massive.

You can see just by this it's a big picture.

This isn't even half the rock.

‐ You have found something very important.

In my opinion, this is a story rock.

This could be the key to Yamashita's treasure.

‐ Story rocks, or "rock maps",

are a common way to preserve a hidden treasure's location

long after those who buried it have passed away

and maps have disappeared.

Unlike other markers the team has found,

like the pyramid rock

or the gorilla face,

markers which seem to have specific meaning,

this story rock is not meant to be easily interpreted.

Like cracking a secret code,

it will require work to decipher.

‐ So, Martin, you've seen rocks like this before?

‐ Yes, I've seen a bunch of them like, yeah.

‐ Like where?

‐ Down in Arizona, carved in there,

some from the Indians,

some from the Spanish.

And they're telling a story of that general area

and telling you how to go to the treasure.

Now this is gonna be all probably Japanese, but

‐ So, this was like a treasure map, then.

‐ Treasure map,

and you got a story going along with it.

So, you've gotta decipher all of it

to come out and get what you need out of it.

It's gonna be a little more of a chore than you think.

So we've got an awful lot of work to do right there

just to figure out what it's gonna say.

‐ You're definitely onto something.

You know, you need to go back there with Manny.

‐ Okay.

‐ The next day, following Martin's advice,

John and Manny head back to the cave

to continue their exploration of the story rock.

‐ All right, it's a little sketchy through here.

Okay, so, Manny,

this is the cave that the LiDAR picked out.

How about this? This is the reason...

‐ What is this?

‐ I mean it is just glorious.

And even all inside the rock here,

there's all kinds of markers that are just,

you know, now over time

blended into the patina of this rock.

And then you have, you know,

all these little markings on here

to tell you what might be buried in here,

or around here.

And a lot of these symbols may be telling us

which way to go, how much was buried there,

what was buried there,

and where along this track it is.

But it's treasure, you know, some kind of treasure.

We haveI brought in a metal detector too,

so, if there was some big object down below you,

you know, eight, nine, ten feet down,

the metal detector will pick that up right away.

‐ I think I'm getting something here, John.

‐ All right.

‐ Nope, not on this one.

‐ When you get a hit, you'll know about it.

It'll echo through this place like there's no tomorrow.

‐ In a remote cave high up the mountain,

John and Manny's metal detector

may have turned up a new clue.

‐ All right, we dump it over here in our clean zone.

Right there...

‐ What's that? ‐ There you go.

It's a big rusty nail.

It's an old rusty nail.

Okay, let's save that.

‐ Go back and scan that section.

‐ Right here.

Yep, right there.

‐ Man, that's a big nail.

Now swing back over there.

‐ You know, those nails are a good sign.

‐ Although not the treasure they're hoping for,

the nails seem to bolster Grandpa's claim

about crates being brought up the mountain.

‐ Boxes?

‐ Hey, Pete, you have a copy?

‐ Yeah, I copy you, John. Go ahead.

‐ I found some really strange nails inside this cave.

And these nails are pretty heavy‐duty,

and, you know, they could've been,

you know, what was holding together Japanese crates.

But they definitely look like they could be from the war.

‐ Bring back as many as you can, copy?

‐ It's conceivable these rusted nails

once held together crates

filled with Yamashita's looted treasure.

‐ John's up at the cave right now,

and it appears that he's found nails.

Now we don't know whether they were building something

or whether they were taking something apart.

The nails could be a key factor

in us finding the treasure.

‐ Have a look at this, John.

‐ What do you got?

‐ Look at this. ‐ Oh!

‐ This one right here?

‐ That's a giveaway marker.

You know what that means?

That means that this square hole here

indicated that there's a box of gold.

There could be a giveaway right under our feet.

That's right.

‐ After years of researching Yamashita

and the Golden Lily symbols,

John believes this symbol could mean a giveaway marker.

Giveaway markers have been discovered

at other treasure sites around the world.

A giveaway is typically a nominal amount of treasure

meant to distract the finder

from another even larger amount in the area.

If The Golden Lily followed this practice,

it's possible they may have planted a giveaway deposit

with a larger cache hidden far below it or nearby.

‐ And this is telling you where

and how far from this rock where it is.

If we find something to stick up in there...

here, it's like a little piece of stick or something.

Stick it down in there

flush with the rock and pull it out.

So, we got about an inch of stick.

Some generals use centimeters,

so, it's like three centimeters.

Each centimeter would be a meter.

If it's three centimeters equals a meter,

then three meters away from that,

pointing out here, there would be a box of gold.

So definitely scan all the way across here

and see if you get any big hit.

Hey, Manny. ‐ Yeah?

‐ JustI'm just having an epiphany here.

While I'm leaning up over there, I see this mark,

and I'm looking at it and I see these cut lines in it,

right across the edge.

But it's also across from that one

that I didn't notice before on the story rock,

which is another marker

lining up with the giveaway marker.

So, it's like a triangulation mark

to tell you where to dig.

‐ Triangulation is a common method

of marking a location of a treasure

for future recovery.

Three fixed points,

usually distinct rocks or markers,

are intentionally arranged

in the shape of a triangle.

Hidden treasure may be found within.

‐ Let's see where it would be.

So, it's coming from here...

‐ Right. Out to here.

I'm gonna use the shovel

just to kind of mark the edge of it.

It's definitely cut out of there.

‐ Going back to the stick, John? ‐ Yeah.

So, it's given us a triangulation back to this line.

‐ Yes, it is.

‐ Your treasure could be right here,

in the center of this triangle.

Look at that, Manny.

This is a chisel mark in this thing of an X.

Is it a coincidence that there's an X chisel

on top of that rock?

Excuse my French.

‐ What do you think it is?

‐ It's a marker telling us to get the shovel.

We're gonna dig right now.

‐ On the next "Lost Gold of World War II"...

‐ Somebody call for a bomb guy?

‐ You're gonna go into our cave with...

‐ Two sticks, a straight‐bladed knife,

and a pair of big balls.

‐ All my years of treasure hunting,

I've never seen X marks the spot.

‐ Hold, hold, hold!
