‐ Tonight...

on the "Lost Gold of World War II"...

‐ I think the bigger question there is,

how the hell did this coin end up under a rock

in the mountain in the middle of the Philippines

just in a remote jungle?

‐ Where's this water coming from?

‐ Those are Japanese box markers.

If we could expose the front edge of the tunnel

without any problems,

it might lead us right into the mountain.

‐ Diving into something like this

that we've never been in before,

we don't know what we don't know.

We may have a booby trap.

Who knows what we're gonna have?

‐ For 70 years,

legends have been told

of a buried treasure

shrouded in danger.

It's one of the great mysteries of World War II.

‐ Something very secretive and strange

has gotta be buried in that mountain.

‐ In a covert operation,

infamous Japanese General Yamashita

allegedly buried thousands of crates

throughout the Philippines near the end of the war.

‐ They were just taking anything of value

gold, silver, weapons,

even military secrets.

Yamashita's treasure could be anything.

‐ Now, with the help of a key eyewitness...

‐ 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?

Lost Gold of World War II Season 1 - EP 4 - What Lies Beneath

Subtitles Diego Moraes / Ewerton Henrique www.oakisland.tk

‐ Can't really see nothing on it.

‐ John Casey and his team are back at a cave

they believe was used by General Yamashita and his men

during World War II.

Recently, they unearthed two coins

and a grenade detonator here.

Now they are wondering if there could be more.

‐ We got it, Jeremy!

‐ Sweet, that's pretty sweet.

Maybe when someone was pulling out a treasure and...

a few dropped out of the box.

Two down.

And where there's two, there's probably three.

It's now our second coin,

and we found it underneath the treasure rock.

So we're thinking, yeah, we gotta keep digging.

‐ It's believed Yamashita's treasure extends

beyond just coins and gold bars.

Throughout Asia

in the years before and during World War II,

the conquering Japanese army looted art,

historical relics and religious artifacts.

John and his team hope some of it

might be buried beneath their feet.

‐ We're on the treasure.

Oh, what the hell?

‐ Holy smokes! ‐ That's a crab!

‐ Crabs kinda like to hang out in void spaces,

so we must be getting close to possibly a void down there.

Keep digging.

Gotta figure out where these crabs are coming from.

‐ The crabs may be hiding in an underground opening,

something John hopes points to a possible treasure site

or a tunnel going into the mountain.

‐ Check this out, John. You got water!

‐ Maybe it's just some groundwater.

Keep digging and just keep an eye on it

and see what happens.

Got a ways to go boys. Just keep digging.

‐ Yeah, we're getting there.

‐ Let's keep going.

‐ There's definitely something happening here.

This water keeps coming up.

‐ Listen to that.

Sounds pretty hollow.

‐ Yeah, it does sound a little hollow there, don't it?

Hit it again.

Oh, I see bubbles.

‐ Whoa. ‐ Ooh.

‐ It's bubbling up.

‐ Yeah, so you're letting air out of wherever...

‐ There's gotta be something there.

‐ I think so.

Think you just busted through a cap?

Punched through into a hole or a cavity or something?

‐ Look at that! Bar is going down by itself.

I don't even have to push it.

‐ Keep digging.

‐ It's still filling up.

Where's this water coming from?

‐ It's not uncommon to hit water while you're digging.

But to hit so much water only a few feet down,

at this high elevation, I'm starting to think

there's something else going on here.

We might've just sprung a water trap.

‐ Is it safe here?

‐ I don't think it was a trap that would kill us.

I think it was meant to keep protecting the treasure.

‐ According to legend,

Yamashita and his men created water traps

all over the mountain

to prevent looters from stealing treasure

some allegedly kill.

But John believes he may have triggered

a different kind of water trap,

one that conceals treasure by flooding the soft soil

once the cap is broken,

causing it to sink further into the ground.

‐ Son of a bitch.

We might have to halt what we're doing.

Until we can figure out how to stop the water

from coming into the hole and cut it off,

we can't dig any further.

We're only gonna be shooting ourselves in the foot.

So, right now, this hole is gonna have to stay

on hold until we figure out how to get rid of this water.

‐ John heads back to base camp to share his discoveries.

‐ Oh, look at this!

Wow, this is our second coin.

‐ Where'd you find it?

‐ In the cave, under the rock with the X on it.

It was only like a foot and a half down underneath it.

‐ It's gotit's got a lot of debris on it.

Hard to tell where it's from.

We gotta send this off to Bingo,

find out when it was made, where it's from.

‐ Did you find anything else?

‐ Yeah, tons of water.

As soon as Jeremy pulled it out of the way,

water started filling up our hole, a lot of water.

‐ You think you hit groundwater?

‐ I wouldn't think it would be groundwater

so high up in that elevation.

I don't know.

Maybe we triggered something.

‐ Like a water trap. ‐ Right.

‐ It's very likely when he was shoving down in there

and it liquefied enough

that a piece would've just slid right off like,

and then down it would have went.

And once they got the gold and stuff sinking,

it would sink until it hit something solid.

‐ So, how do you retrieve a treasure from a trap like that?

‐ It's hard to do.

Most likely, you're not gonna get it back.

‐ Right now, that's not gonna help us get into the mountain.

I'm gonna put that on hold.

It's more important to me to get into the mountain

than to look for a treasure

that could or possibly be there or not be there.

Could've kicked it in already. ‐ Right.

‐ Gotta get into the mountain.

‐ I agree, that's the goal.

‐ II'mI'm not through with the cave yet.

I think the story rock has a map on it.

‐ At the entrance of the cave

where the team found the two coins,

John also discovered a giant rock

covered with markings Martin believes tell a story

about how to find possible treasure.

‐ Holy crap! There's markers on these rocks.

‐ We're looking for a way into the mountain.

I'm thinking this story rock could be the key

to get into the mountain.

But they're not clear enough that you can tell what's what.

We're not real sure.

‐ All right, well, I can go up and start chalking in.

And as I chalk in each section,

I can take pictures and send it, you know,

right off the phone, right down to you guys.

‐ Yes.

‐ John treks back to the cave to see

if there is more to learn from the symbols

carved into what Martin calls the story rock.

‐ With the potential water trap stopping us at the cave,

we still have the story rock there.

And the story rock is just that

a story of what happened or what took place

in this location,

possibly directions to the treasure itself.

‐ By outlining the chisel marks on the rock,

John hopes to gather more information.

He snaps photos of the symbols

and sends them back to Peter and Martin for analysis.

‐ Peter, you have a copy?

‐ Yeah, John, go ahead.

‐ There's some incredible stuff on this story rock.

‐ I'm looking at the first photo that you sent me.

‐ Yeah, there's a lot going on here.

‐ What do you think about circle and a dot?

‐ Okay, that's gonna be a tunnel or something they dug,

and with a dot in it,

it means there's a treasure in it.

‐ What about this here triangle with a little dot in it?

‐ That also means treasure.

Well, that up there, it looks like

it could be higher up the mountain.

‐ Yeah, higher up the mountain.

Right, I agree with that, yeah.

Let's look at the other picture.

Hey John, we're looking at the other picture.

You copy?

‐ Yeah, there's a line that comes down off the

to the left side,

I can't really tell what the hell that means.

‐ Now these lines coming down like this

could mean a shaft going down.

The curve here looks like it's a directional symbol

for looking for a a water impact,

or where there'd be a pool.

‐ Are we talking about this line coming right down here?

‐ The way it's drawn out, I wonder if that's

an actual landmark, like a waterfall.

‐ Martin believes the story rock is depicting a waterfall

flowing into a lower plunge pool.

This is the second time the team's heard

a waterfall suggested as a possible treasure site.

‐ There was a stream that kinda came this way...

to a waterfall.

‐ Their researcher, Bingo,

recently visited a treasure hunter

who drew a map of the mountain

showing a waterfall marked by a gorilla face.

Now, Martin believes he sees another waterfall clue.

‐ And this would probably be the pool,

and this here, this cup right here

and then this back in here,

could be a tunnel behind the waterfall.

‐ Hey, John, Martin thinks he sees a waterfall.

‐ I think these two dots mean there are treasure

in this tunnel and it's behind the waterfall.

So I think this is all leading to a waterfall.

We'll be working underwater.

‐ If we're gonna be working underwater here,

we're gonna need a professional diver.

‐ I agree. ‐ I'm gonna make

some arrangements to get someone here.

Hey John, we're gonna continue

to look at these pictures.

We'll get back to you later. Roger?

‐ All right, sir.

I'll see you in a little while, thanks.

Based on Martin's interpretation of the story rock

and my find of the gorilla face, everything's pointing

to go back to the waterfalls and search.

I gotta believe that the story rock is leading us

to something important.

Thank you, thank you.

‐ Yamashita, look out!

‐ Oh, yeah.

‐ These are some of the most compelling Japanese

treasure markers I've ever seen.

‐ Wait, wait!

‐ Come on!

‐ Based on a more thorough examination of the markings

on what he calls story rock,

symbols expert Martin Flagg

believes there could be a tunnel

running from the base of a waterfall

that could lead to Yamashita's treasure.

Because there is a possibility

the tunnel could be submerged below a plunge pool,

Peter Struzzieri brings in Navy diver Greg Ford

to assist with any potential underwater exploration.

‐ Hey, guys! ‐ Welcome.

‐ Glad to meet you guys.

How you doing?

27 years of Navy diving experience,

I've spent most of my adult life in Asia.

This area offers me no surprises.

‐ Our Navy specialist, Greg Ford,

who is a diver,

he's here to help us explore these plunge pools

to see if there's a tunnel behind the waterfall

that leads inside this mountain.

‐ John, Manny, and Navy diver Greg

begin their search halfway down the face of the waterfall

just below the gorilla face marker.

‐ The Japanese army engineers were here?

‐ That's what they say.

All these pools and all these waterfalls

are significant to where they put Yamashita's treasure.

‐ Based on his research, John believes waterfalls

were used to hide treasure by the Japanese army.

South of Osaka, Japan at Nachi Falls,

an archaeological dig site

at the base of the waterfall revealed

that for nearly 1,000 years, priests from a nearby temple

buried religious artifacts and precious relics

below the waterfall

to keep them safe during times of war.

‐ I'd like to take a poke around

to see if we can see anything that looks unnatural

or looks like the Japanese had been here before us.

‐ Lead the way.

‐ The team starts their search in the upper plunge pool

looking for any signs of buried treasure.

‐ This is a a good spot to start.

‐ Okay, let's do it.

Get off! Go away!

‐ Is that a leech? ‐ Yeah.

‐ Leeches? Why did it have to be leeches?

‐ Look at that one. It's going into your boot.

‐ I don't know how many other people are hunting treasure

in leech‐infested waters, but I certainly am.

‐ What is this?

‐ This is a magnetometer.

‐ A magnetometer does not detect precious metals

like gold or silver,

but it can pinpoint at depths of up to 18 feet

materials like iron rebar or structural steel,

metals that could indicate tunnel structures

or discarded tools, all possible evidence

of man‐made construction in the mountain.

‐ What is a good sound coming from that machine?

‐ You'll hear a rise and a lower.

What that is, that's the electronics responding

to the metal.

I don't hear anything. It's pretty quiet right there.

There's nothing.

Come on up, let's get the hell outta here.

We're not getting any hits at this first plunge pool.

So we're gonna go down the creek a little further

and explore the next plunge pool.

‐ Back in the United States, head researcher Bingo Minerva

has located an expert in Asian coins.

After briefing him,

Bingo's now heading to Whittier, California

hoping to identify the two coins.

‐ I found us a guy who is an expert in coins.

His name's Brad Mosely, and hopefully,

he can verify its age and origin for us.

Morning. ‐ Morning.

‐ You Brad? ‐ I am.

‐ Hey. Bingo. ‐ Bingo, nice to see you.

‐ Hey, thanks for meeting with me today.

‐ You got it.

‐ So, what do you know about Japanese coins

or Japanese treasure in general?

‐ Here is a coin

that possibly could be a part

of Yamashita's gold.

In 1942, because the Philippine government

thought the Japanese military

was gonna overtake the treasury,

they dumped $17 million worth of...

‐ Of these coins. Wow. ‐ ...these types of coins

into Caballo Bay.

‐ After Japan invaded the islands,

the Philippine government

threw its treasury into the Caballo Bay

hoping to keep it out of Japanese hands.

After defeating the U. S.

at the Battle of Bataan,

the Imperial Army forced captured American divers

to salvage the coins.

While the POWs were able to slow the recovery of the treasure

to a crawl, what they did retrieve

could have ended up with Yamashita.

‐ So, we found these coins.

I mean, just based on initial inspection,

I mean, they look fairly old.

‐ I would say that that's a given,

considering the abrasion.

It'll be interesting to see what they might actually represent.

‐ Brad examines the first coin

the team found just a few days ago

in a cave under a rock marked with an X.

‐ In this book of world coins...

Okay...

There's a face on there

and we notice that there is the...

Asian writing on the coin.

Those are the only two actual things that we can equate.

‐ So is the coin Japanese?

‐ Actually, it potentially could be

a coin that was produced in Korea.

‐ Well, Korea was one of the countries that Japan

did conquer before World War II.

Potentially, it's something from the war.

‐ Unfortunately, this coin was actually produced

between 1971 and 1982.

‐ Yeah, this is leaving me with a lot more questions

than answers right now.

I mean, what the hell were Koreans doing on our mountain?

‐ It's possible if we were gonna speculate here,

that there was a treasure hunter from Korea,

or an individual

that had spent some time in Korea in the '70s.

‐ We don't know. ‐ Another mystery.

‐ Another mystery.

‐ The second coin was buried directly beneath

the rock with an X,

but is too corroded to identify markings.

So Brad uses a special solution to remove the debris.

‐ Is this gonna dissolve the coin,

or just the stuff on it?

‐ Just the stuff on the surfaces. Go ahead.

‐ While Brad and Bingo wait

for the dirt on the coin to dissolve,

John and the team continue checking the path

of the waterfalls underneath the gorilla face.

They're looking for signs that could indicate a tunnel

behind a waterfall.

‐ This is unreal.

‐ This is nice. ‐ Look at the view from here.

So we see in the valley

that if the Japanese were up here, you could

no one could see you working up here.

‐ I don't think there would've been anybody

to even see them to begin with.

‐ Yeah, it's all flats and the river.

‐ What is that?

‐ Oh!

That's a natural mark.

Those are Japanese box markers. ‐ Yep.

‐ John knows a box marker

is a common Golden Lily symbol for treasure.

If genuine, he hopes it will take the team

a step closer to finding a way into the mountain

and to treasure possibly buried there.

‐ I am seeing some Japanese writing.

‐ How the hell did this coin end up under a rock

in a mountain in the middle of the Philippines

just in a remote jungle?

‐ That, Bingo, is the million dollar question.

‐ What is that?

‐ Oh!

Those are Japanese box markers. ‐ Yep.

‐ While exploring the waterfalls beneath the carved gorilla face,

John and his team discover a set of markers.

‐ Those are box markers, meaning that there's five boxes,

it looks like, of possible treasure,

five boxes of gold. ‐ Right here.

‐ Somewhere around here.

Sit right here.

Look at that.

These are some of the most compelling treasure markers

I've ever seen.

And you can only see it from standing there

looking down at it.

There's no other way to see this.

Maybe normally, these would be hidden underwater

and you'd have to wait for the rainy season to be over

and the water level to be this low

to actually see these markers.

It's pretty incredible.

He's probably saying, look down further where this might be.

So somewhere down there is where these targets would be.

‐ Looks like a face.

‐ Well.

It almost looks like two sets of eyeballs and its mouth.

‐ With a nose coming out, yeah.

‐ Weeks ago, John and Manny found what they believe

to be the face of a gorilla

carved in the uppermost waterfall on the mountain.

‐ Look at that.

‐ In the treasure hunting world,

it is believed animal face symbols

point to treasure based on where their eyes are looking.

But John and Manny weren't certain

where the gorilla marker pointed.

‐ Finding that gorilla face was awesome,

but I couldn't see where the eye was looking.

But now, the story rock is saying it's in the waterfall

and at the waterfall, I find these box markers.

Now I'm thinking the gorilla face is looking

right at these box markers.

I'm starting to put it all together.

It seems like the gorilla face is pointing to the box markers,

which is pointing to this lower plunge pool

below the box markers.

And I think if we go down there,

we're gonna find a tunnel

and it's gonna be filled with treasure.

I'll tell you what, though.

We're not going that way,

cause I'm looking over the edge

and there is no set of stairs. ‐ Nope.

‐ There's gotta be a way that we can get down, so let's find it.

‐ We're getting there. Getting closer.

‐ We're getting a little closer, for sure.

‐ As John and the team make their way down

to the lower plunge pool,

back in the United States...

‐ Already you're seeing some of the stuff come off of it.

‐ Oh, yeah, look at that.

It's already working.

‐ Bingo and coin expert Brad Mosely

are using a special solution

to try and identify the second coin

the team found in the cave.

‐ Okay, so let meI'm just gonna take that coin.

‐ So what are you seeing now?

‐ This coin, Bingo, is Japanese.

‐ Wow...

‐ I am seeing some Japanese writing.

‐ Definitely a Japanese coin.

‐ That we can confirm.

‐ Awesome.

‐ The coin is horribly degraded.

‐ Okay. I see the Japanese characters on the side, yeah.

‐ This is my best guess.

It's a 50 Sen piece

that was struck between 1928 and 1938.

The Japanese writing on the coin signifies that it is from Japan,

an actual pre‐World War II coin.

‐ Well, hey, well, that's great news.

‐ That'sthat's about all I can confirm.

‐ It does say we are on the right track.

Japanese were on our mountain. ‐ Yes.

‐ I think the bigger question there is,

how the hell did this coin end up under a rock

on a mountain in the middle of the Philippines

just in a remote jungle?

‐ Later that day,

the team gets an update from Bingo.

‐ Well, I got those coins that you sent me

and I had 'em looked at by an expert.

‐ Well, what'd you find?

‐ One of them is Korean.

It was minted sometime between '71 and '82,

and that really doesn't help us.

It's just a regular hundred Wan coin.

But the other coin, in fact, is Japanese,

and this one was minted pre‐World War II.

‐ So that coin could've been lost on the mountain,

1930, 1940.

But it could also have been lost in the '70s, '80s or '90s.

‐ You know, I thought about that as well.

So I did a little bit more digging.

I found out that Japan reissued all of their currency

immediately following the war.

So this coin essentially has zero value.

II can't see any reason for anyone to be carrying around

something like this, especially after the war.

‐ So you're saying it was there before the war,

or during the war. ‐ It had to have been.

‐ That's great news, Bingo.

Thanks a lot for your hard work.

‐ You got it, guys. I'll see ya.

‐ All right, so we have a Korean coin that means nothing.

‐ Doesn't mean anything. ‐ Nope.

But thethe Japanese coin that was minted

before the end of WWII,

it just helps to prove that the Japanese were here

burying treasure.

Somehow or another, that cave

is connected to this treasure.

Let's hope that waterfall is our way into the mountain.

‐ I sure hope so.

‐ Back at the waterfall,

the team arrives at the lower plunge pool.

‐ Oh, yeah!

Any markers down here you see?

‐ I don't see any major markers on the wall here.

As you look down at this pool here,

it kinda just sinks off in there.

Maybe we could check inside the pool.

We could actually wand right through here, too,

to see if there's any hits.

The Japanese love to build tunnels behind falls.

‐ John thinks it's possible

Yamashita's engineers diverted the water here

allowing them to tunnel behind the falls,

hiding treasure inside.

‐ It would be very easy to hide gold

or to hide anything down here.

‐ Based on the markers that we saw up top,

you know, I think this plunge pool,

we need to explore some more.

Very carefully over there.

‐ Oh, yeah, no problem.

‐ Nothing.

If there's any metal within 18 feet

of this magnetometer, it will find it.

‐ Nothing back here, no metal,

only like light metal here.

But as I bring it back into the rock face there...

...really screaming down here.

‐ Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, good signal!

Good metallic signal.

I think there's one large accumulation

of metal right there.

‐ Yep.

Wow! That's pretty incredible.

‐ Oh yeah, oh yeah, good signal!

Good metallic signal.

Within 18 feet right there. ‐ Yep.

‐ Using a magnetometer,

the team believes they have discovered a large hit

to the right of the waterfall,

which could indicate a significant concentration

of metal within 18 feet of the falls.

‐ If the Japanese were gonna hide treasure here,

it would be a good place to do it.

You know, this is a great spot.

It's totally hidden away from everything.

I think we should get our gear and get in the water.

‐ If the team's theory is correct,

there could be an underwater tunnel system

leading inside the mountain

and to a possible Yamashita treasure site.

‐ I don't know what we're gonna find in here.

So, what I'm gonna do is tie a rope

around my waist

and I want you guys to tend that rope.

If there's a tunnel there, we'll find it.

I can guarantee that. ‐ Awesome.

‐ Okay, let's suit up.

Diving in something like this

that we've never been in before,

we don't know what we don't know.

Who knows what we're gonna have, okay?

But the strength of the signal and the quality of the signal

tells me we have something quality down there.

‐ The team secures Greg's tether rope

so he doesn't get disoriented in the murky water.

‐ I really hope Greg will see an opening

that goes into the hillside under there.

That would be my best hope.

What do you see, Greg?

‐ The rock...

goes down straight and then it goes curved.

It starts to curve in.

‐ Greg, you're actually feeling that the rock face

actually is starting to go behind the waterfall

underneath the waterfall. ‐ Yeah.

‐ Like there's a tunnel there. ‐ Yeah, definitely.

It looks like it can continue on further,

but it's completely filled with rocks

andand sand and silt.

There's two big ones sitting right there.

They're visible.

If we can move these boulders here,

we'll have a better chance of getting further in.

‐ How big are the rocks that you're seeing down there?

‐ About this big.

‐ Okay, I mean, they're not super small,

but they're big enough that we can get some

some rope around them and pull them out of the way.

‐ I think it'll work. Yeah, let's do it.

‐ If Yamashita's men did place treasure

in a tunnel behind the waterfall,

it is possible that his engineers used

explosives to blast off the face of the wall,

dropping large rocks into the corner of the plunge pool,

sealing the tunnel entrance.

‐ With his magnetometer, we got hits off to one corner.

And the pile of rocks that Greg is seeing down there

makes me believe that there still is a tunnel under there.

‐ While the team prepares to clear one of the large

underwater rocks blocking the possible tunnel entrance,

Peter arrives to check on progress.

‐ Hey, Pete! ‐ What are yous up to?

‐ I think we found a tunnel under there.

‐ It slopes down and it's covered,

but there's a definite slope down into the rock.

‐ It starts to go underneath like it was a tunnel,

and they blocked it with a bunch of rocks.

‐ So what's our overall plan here?

‐ We're gonna move these rocks

with a rope system and a come‐along.

We're gonna hook onto this large boulder here

and use this as our base.

And then we're gonna pull these rocks

slowly out of their place.

Once we get them out,

then we have a better chance of seeing

what we got down there.

And then we can dive down or we can dig down.

‐ Using simple engineering like pulley systems

was a hallmark of the Japanese army.

Before the Battle of Tarawa,

soldiers used natural materials like palm trees and rope

to hoist massive eight‐inch cannons

into defensive positions.

The island was so well‐fortified

that the resulting battle was one of the war's deadliest,

called by some experts

"the toughest in U. S. Marine Corps history."

‐ How big is that rock, Greg?

‐ I'd say 500 pounds.

‐ All right.

‐ It's not gonna move itself. ‐ No.

‐ Let's get going with it.

We're losing light.

Ah. Got it!

‐ The come‐along the team is using is rated

with a line‐pull capacity of 800 pounds.

If Greg has correctly estimated the size of the rock

at 500 pounds...

‐ All right, tighten her up a little bit.

‐ ...the team should have no problem

pulling the rock out of the way.

However, they must be mindful of the tension on their rope.

If too much force is applied,

the rope could break and snap back,

potentially injuring one of the team members.

‐ I'm gonna be trying to put pressure on the rock

over there from a different angle.

‐ Ready? ‐ Yeah.

‐ Careful!

‐ It's got a lot of tension on it.

‐ Just a little bit more.

‐ I can barely pull it. ‐ A little more...

‐ Come on!

Stop.

Stop!

That's it. This obviously weighs more

than what we were factoring in.

I don't trust it anymore.

I think we're gonna have to figure out another method.

It's just too dangerous now.

I just can't get anything.

She's big, she's too big. ‐ She's huge.

I mean, I'm a pretty strong guy

and I'm having all to do to get a click out of it.

‐ Tell me about it.

‐ I'm gonna let this pressure off of here,

and we'll just come up with a new plan.

It's been here for 70 years, it ain't going anywhere.

Working underwater, you know, is really a tough thing,

especially with rocks.

We gotta get this water to drain as low as possible

so that we can get guys down in there and work safely.

No treasure is worth dying over.

I'd like to see the treasure,

and not from my hospital bed.

‐ The team returns to base camp to figure out

how to safely investigate and uncover

the possible underwater tunnel entrance.

‐ So the come‐along didn't work.

‐ I think we misjudged what that rock really weighs.

‐ Are you sure we're not wasting our time here with this?

‐ Well, look, Martin said that,

from the story rock there's a tunnel supposed

to be behind a waterfall.

We come down the waterfall, see the gorilla face.

The gorilla face is looking down the hill.

You go down a little further,

you find this big rock with box markers all over it,

right at the top of it.

You go around the bottom of that,

you're in this plunge pool.

We're right where we are.

Greg gets his magnetometer,

boom, getting a signal loud and strong at 18 feet.

I really believe that getting into this mountain

is right through this waterfall.

‐ Well, I'm getting tired of screwing around with this.

It's too dangerous to be working in this water.

Let's drain the pool.

‐ We're gonna drain this pond, baby!

‐ Watch yourself.

That's real slippery in there.

‐ To get a better look,

the team decides to try draining the plunge pool.

‐ There's not much of a hole there.

‐ No, you're missing the hole, that's why.

‐ Move left.

Greg was down there and he saw an indentation

that goes into the cliff.

Could very well be a tunnel in there,

but it's filled up with rocks.

And the sooner we get this water out of there,

then we can start moving some of them rocks

and I can see if it actually goes in there.

‐ Oh, that's perfect.

‐ Look at that!

‐ I know where it's at now. ‐ Yeah!

‐ Fire that bad boy up.

Yamashita, look out!

‐ Yahoo! ‐ Yeah, there she goes!

‐ Look at this down here. ‐ Oh, yeah.

Yeah, see, it's dropped down two inches already.

‐ Sheesh.

She going down quick!

‐ Got the ridge, right there.

‐ The team's gas‐powered pump quickly lowers

the level of the plunge pool,

draining the water downstream.

‐ Hold on!

‐ What do ya got? ‐ Check this out.

‐ Holy .

‐ Got a perfect circle. ‐ It's a tunnel marker!

‐ Oh, wow.

‐ From his years of experience,

John knows that in the Golden Lily code,

a circle with a dot in the middle represents

"tunnel with treasure underneath".

Because the symbol was concealed underwater,

it could have been hidden intentionally

in order to mark an area of high importance,

possibly even the entrance leading directly

into the mountain

and to the location of Yamashita's treasure.

‐ It's a tunnel marker.

That's fricking awesome!

‐ Woo‐hoo!

‐ It's the tunnel marker for under there.

Now let's get the water outta here.

‐ What have you got? ‐ Check this out.

‐ The team has just discovered a possible

Golden Lily symbol previously hidden underwater

that allegedly signifies "tunnel with treasure underneath",

which may confirm their belief

that there is a tunnel system running under the waterfall.

‐ Let's get this water outta here.

‐ It's going.

‐ Yeah‐hoo!

‐ Tighten it up a little. Got the ridge over there.

Oh, I can hear myself think.

‐ The pump did its job.

‐ I knew that would work.

‐ With the water drained,

the team can finally leverage the boulder.

‐ You know what's nice about this?

No leeches.

‐ No more water, that's why. ‐ That's right.

‐ Brad! ‐ Yep.

‐ Hit the wall.

‐ The hollow sound could mean a tunnel

is hidden behind the rocks and soil.

‐ That rock we just tried to move?

No wonder it didn't move.

Look at the size of that thing.

Looks like a thousand pounds.

‐ What do you wanna do about that big rock here?

‐ I want to get it the hell out of the way.

I'm pretty positive that the tunnel's right there.

If that's what that marker over there is saying...

tunnel over here.

All right, so once we get that out of the way,

and it slides back as best as it can,

then we can at least clean out this area right there.

Then we can get in there and mag it.

‐ Yep.

‐ You ready? ‐ Careful, Manny.

It moved.

‐ We broke her loose! ‐ Yeah.

‐ Ready, Manny? ‐ Ready.

‐ Wait! ‐ Hold it, hold it.

‐ I wish I could get up under there better.

‐ Ready!

We're almost there.

‐ Watch out, Jeremy.

‐ Yeah! All right!

‐ That's how you do it. All right!

Man!

‐ That was great!

‐ Yeah, I think now that that's rock outta the way,

maybe we should get in there and mag it again.

‐ Jeremy, would you give me my magnetometer?

‐ There you go. ‐ All right.

All right, let me get in here.

‐ With the area cleared,

Greg tries his magnetometer once more.

‐ That's a strong signal.

That's down to 18 feet.

‐ And what he hears is exciting.

‐ And it's directional,

so it's going in that direction.

‐ One step closer, boys.

‐ That's right.

This may be the key right here.

‐ Ho ho! ‐ That's it!

‐ I think this is your best chance right here.

Keep taking layers away and keep moving forward.

Save me a gold bar.

‐ Thank you, sir.

Going after Yamashita's gold is always gonna be dangerous.

You know, they didn't want you to get their treasure.

They didn't send engineers in here

to tunnel under a waterfall to make it easy for us.

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

‐ Wow, look at that!

We found this marker below the waterfall.

‐ You guys clear?

‐ Where the hell did my tunnel go?

‐ Can you see that?

‐ We're really close. ‐ We're close.

‐ It's saying, "go look for this rock."
