1
00:00:02,586 --> 00:00:05,047
‐ ..."Lost Goldof World War II..."
2
00:00:05,047 --> 00:00:06,798
‐ John: All the signs
and symbols were pointing
3
00:00:06,798 --> 00:00:08,258
last year to the waterfall,
4
00:00:08,258 --> 00:00:09,885
and I believe there was
a treasure under there.
5
00:00:09,885 --> 00:00:13,096
The satellite made multiple hits
right on the waterfall.
6
00:00:13,096 --> 00:00:15,307
‐ We think we've got
either a tunnel
7
00:00:15,307 --> 00:00:17,267
or some type of void space.
8
00:00:17,267 --> 00:00:19,520
‐ Is that a blade right there?
9
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,231
‐ Could mean that Americans
were here putting this in.
10
00:00:45,379 --> 00:00:46,713
‐ Keep it coming.
11
00:00:47,965 --> 00:00:49,174
‐ Announcer: John Casey,
12
00:00:49,174 --> 00:00:50,551
a construction contractor
13
00:00:50,551 --> 00:00:51,551
from the U. S.,
14
00:00:51,551 --> 00:00:53,220
is back in the Philippines
15
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:54,346
with a new team...
16
00:00:56,431 --> 00:00:59,226
continuing his searchfor Yamashita's gold.
17
00:00:59,226 --> 00:01:01,186
‐ We're gonna find a way
to get to this treasure.
18
00:01:04,731 --> 00:01:06,942
‐ Like many others,John believes
19
00:01:06,942 --> 00:01:09,319
Japanese generalTomoyuki Yamashita
20
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,822
took billions of dollarsin treasure
21
00:01:11,822 --> 00:01:14,283
looted by Japanduring World War II
22
00:01:14,283 --> 00:01:16,743
and buriedin the Philippines,
23
00:01:16,743 --> 00:01:20,163
including somewherein this mountain.
24
00:01:23,917 --> 00:01:26,086
According to an eyewitness,
25
00:01:26,086 --> 00:01:29,089
mysterious wooden crateswere hauled up this mountain
26
00:01:29,089 --> 00:01:30,716
by prisoners of war
27
00:01:30,716 --> 00:01:34,553
and buried in tunnels,which were then destroyed.
28
00:01:36,471 --> 00:01:37,222
‐ ...boom.
29
00:01:38,682 --> 00:01:40,601
‐ Based on that account,
30
00:01:40,601 --> 00:01:43,437
John followed a seriesof mysterious symbols
31
00:01:43,437 --> 00:01:45,022
to three promising sites‐‐
32
00:01:46,231 --> 00:01:47,899
a waterfall...
33
00:01:47,899 --> 00:01:49,651
‐ This waterfall's hiding
something.
34
00:01:49,651 --> 00:01:52,487
‐ ...a craterknown as Breach 6...
35
00:01:52,487 --> 00:01:55,115
‐ I've never seen
anything like this.
36
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:58,160
‐ ...and a camouflaged tunnelthey uncovered last year.
37
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,494
‐ We are in the mountain,
boys.
38
00:01:59,494 --> 00:02:02,122
‐ Can they finallydiscover the...
39
00:02:13,592 --> 00:02:17,220
In a remote areaof the Philippine jungle,
40
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:20,390
John continueshis long obsession
41
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:21,808
with the waterfall.
42
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:23,727
He believesthese strange carvings
43
00:02:23,727 --> 00:02:25,979
could provide cluesto treasure
44
00:02:25,979 --> 00:02:28,065
hidden under ordersfrom the Golden Lily,
45
00:02:28,065 --> 00:02:30,734
a group of Japanesepower brokers
46
00:02:30,734 --> 00:02:33,153
allegedly directingGeneral Yamashita.
47
00:02:34,821 --> 00:02:38,367
‐ I betcha that was a marker
to our tunnel.
48
00:02:38,367 --> 00:02:39,951
Right on top of this big rock!
49
00:02:39,951 --> 00:02:42,704
You see that's definitely
a box marker on that rock!
50
00:02:42,704 --> 00:02:45,540
‐ Deeply rootedin Japanese culture,
51
00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:49,378
waterfalls are believedto garner power and protection.
52
00:02:49,378 --> 00:02:54,049
For centuries, Shinto priestsburied valuables in waterfalls
53
00:02:54,049 --> 00:02:57,636
for safekeeping,especially during wartime.
54
00:02:57,636 --> 00:03:01,556
It's thought the Golden Lilyfollowed this tradition.
55
00:03:01,556 --> 00:03:05,435
And last year,John tried to find a way in.
56
00:03:05,435 --> 00:03:07,187
‐ We're really
having a hard time
57
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:09,272
digging around this big rock
at the waterfall.
58
00:03:09,272 --> 00:03:11,608
‐ But was defeated.
59
00:03:11,608 --> 00:03:13,527
‐ We're gonna be here
forever.
60
00:03:13,527 --> 00:03:18,323
‐ A recent Nuclear MagneticResonance, or NMR scan,
61
00:03:18,323 --> 00:03:21,785
suggests John's hunchcould be right.
62
00:03:21,785 --> 00:03:24,371
It shows a massivemetal deposit
63
00:03:24,371 --> 00:03:27,541
and a possible tunneldeep beneath the waterfall.
64
00:03:27,541 --> 00:03:29,751
‐ It's like
about 300 feet down.
65
00:03:29,751 --> 00:03:31,878
‐ If the Japanese are burying
big treasures
66
00:03:31,878 --> 00:03:33,296
like the one that's up there,
67
00:03:33,296 --> 00:03:34,548
it could be that deep.
68
00:03:35,882 --> 00:03:37,717
NMR's saying
we got a target here.
69
00:03:37,717 --> 00:03:40,095
We got all these signs
and symbols
70
00:03:40,095 --> 00:03:41,430
that have been leading me
to this location,
71
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:42,973
saying there's something here.
72
00:03:45,058 --> 00:03:47,018
‐ But John has a problem.
73
00:03:48,770 --> 00:03:51,231
‐ 300 feet's a long way down.
74
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:53,316
It's one thing to know
where something is.
75
00:03:53,316 --> 00:03:55,819
Doesn't mean
you can always get it out.
76
00:03:55,819 --> 00:04:01,116
‐ Standing in his wayis 300 feet of solid diorite,
77
00:04:01,116 --> 00:04:03,785
one of the hardest rockson earth.
78
00:04:03,785 --> 00:04:05,912
‐ I mean,
the Japanese were specialists
79
00:04:05,912 --> 00:04:08,540
at tunneling into hard rock.
80
00:04:08,540 --> 00:04:10,917
‐ But drillingthrough rock this hard
81
00:04:10,917 --> 00:04:14,463
requires a specialized40‐ton machine
82
00:04:14,463 --> 00:04:17,090
impossible to bringto this remote site.
83
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:19,676
‐ There's no way I can even
get equipment up here
84
00:04:19,676 --> 00:04:21,178
without a helicopter
to bring it in.
85
00:04:23,638 --> 00:04:25,724
‐ This kindof drilling process
86
00:04:25,724 --> 00:04:28,977
also produces highly toxicwaste water.
87
00:04:28,977 --> 00:04:31,188
‐ Even if I could bring it in,
88
00:04:31,188 --> 00:04:33,356
the whole water supply
from the town below
89
00:04:33,356 --> 00:04:35,525
comes from our waterfall.
90
00:04:35,525 --> 00:04:38,320
We're not gonna be screwing
with the town's water supply.
91
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,823
‐ These obstacles make drillingthe waterfall impossible
92
00:04:41,823 --> 00:04:44,284
for now.
93
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:46,953
‐ I got to figure out a way
to get in there.
94
00:04:48,830 --> 00:04:50,373
How am I going to get it out?
95
00:04:56,922 --> 00:04:59,549
‐ As John looks for a wayinto the waterfall...
96
00:05:01,343 --> 00:05:04,721
Miners Levi and Geoare battling Mother Nature
97
00:05:04,721 --> 00:05:06,431
at the tunnel site.
98
00:05:06,431 --> 00:05:08,183
‐ It's crucial
that we get in there
99
00:05:08,183 --> 00:05:09,434
and see where this thing goes.
100
00:05:09,434 --> 00:05:10,811
It could lead
to another tunnel.
101
00:05:10,811 --> 00:05:12,229
It could lead direct
to the treasure.
102
00:05:13,814 --> 00:05:16,399
‐ This mysterious tunnelwas discovered last year.
103
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:18,276
‐ We're in the mountain, boys.
104
00:05:18,276 --> 00:05:19,736
‐ It's believedto be connected
105
00:05:19,736 --> 00:05:21,822
to an elaborate networkof tunnels
106
00:05:21,822 --> 00:05:24,616
running deepinto the mountain.
107
00:05:24,616 --> 00:05:28,245
Recently, John and the teamdiscovered a knife here.
108
00:05:28,245 --> 00:05:29,871
‐ Aw, man, look at that.
109
00:05:29,871 --> 00:05:31,581
‐ Looks like a handle
to a knife.
110
00:05:31,581 --> 00:05:34,501
‐ The find raisesnew questions‐‐
111
00:05:34,501 --> 00:05:36,586
who else has been here
112
00:05:36,586 --> 00:05:39,172
and what awaits them inside.
113
00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:40,966
‐ After finding that knife,
114
00:05:40,966 --> 00:05:42,551
seeing that there's still
artifacts in here,
115
00:05:42,551 --> 00:05:43,844
this thing hasn't been
picked dry,
116
00:05:45,303 --> 00:05:46,263
we definitely do not want
to lose this at this point.
117
00:05:47,889 --> 00:05:50,350
‐ Geo: Man, that rain
is not letting up.
118
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:51,893
‐ We're dealing
with a lot of clay and mud,
119
00:05:51,893 --> 00:05:53,311
and now this rain
we're getting,
120
00:05:53,311 --> 00:05:54,688
it could cause a landslide
121
00:05:54,688 --> 00:05:55,772
and we could lose
everything we've worked for.
122
00:05:57,732 --> 00:06:01,236
‐ They plan to use oneof the team's two excavators
123
00:06:01,236 --> 00:06:04,281
to install steel support beamsat the tunnel's entrance
124
00:06:04,281 --> 00:06:06,825
before the storm triggersanother collapse.
125
00:06:06,825 --> 00:06:08,451
But the muddy conditions
126
00:06:08,451 --> 00:06:10,871
are putting that planin jeopardy.
127
00:06:12,455 --> 00:06:14,082
‐ I'd hang as close
to that bank as you can.
128
00:06:14,082 --> 00:06:15,417
It's messed up bad.
129
00:06:15,417 --> 00:06:16,793
‐ Get over there,
it's just frickin' sliding.
130
00:06:22,507 --> 00:06:23,925
‐ Come on, baby.
131
00:06:23,925 --> 00:06:25,218
‐ Come on.
132
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:26,344
Keep pinching.
133
00:06:35,604 --> 00:06:39,024
‐ With the excavatorunable to reach the site
134
00:06:39,024 --> 00:06:40,191
and the threat of collapseincreasing...
135
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:43,194
‐ Be careful, dude.
136
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:48,825
‐ ...Levi takes mattersinto his own hands.
137
00:06:49,993 --> 00:06:51,703
‐ Get out of my way.
I don't want to trip over you.
138
00:06:59,002 --> 00:07:01,004
I'm a little bit worried
about going in there
139
00:07:01,004 --> 00:07:02,505
and rattling on stuff with
all the water running through,
140
00:07:02,505 --> 00:07:03,965
but that's just
part of the game.
141
00:07:03,965 --> 00:07:05,383
That's part of mining.
142
00:07:05,383 --> 00:07:06,635
If mining was easy,
everybody would do it.
143
00:07:06,635 --> 00:07:07,969
This weather's not helping it,
144
00:07:07,969 --> 00:07:09,095
but we'll get
through this thing.
145
00:07:22,734 --> 00:07:24,569
‐ As the miners workthrough the night
146
00:07:24,569 --> 00:07:26,363
to shore up the tunnel,
147
00:07:26,363 --> 00:07:28,615
Rick begins reviewingthe nearly 100 hours
148
00:07:28,615 --> 00:07:32,619
of secret tapes he obtainedfrom an anonymous informant.
149
00:07:32,619 --> 00:07:35,372
They featurea mysterious American
150
00:07:35,372 --> 00:07:37,248
named Robert Curtis.
151
00:07:46,675 --> 00:07:47,967
A mining engineer,
152
00:07:47,967 --> 00:07:49,552
Curtis was recruited
153
00:07:49,552 --> 00:07:53,765
by Philippine PresidentFerdinand Marcos in 1974
154
00:07:53,765 --> 00:07:56,309
to help findYamashita's lost treasure.
155
00:07:57,811 --> 00:07:59,854
‐ Bob Curtis was
in the Philippines
156
00:07:59,854 --> 00:08:02,315
for three decades.
157
00:08:02,315 --> 00:08:04,651
We've got video documentation
158
00:08:04,651 --> 00:08:08,488
of Bob Curtis on dig sites
all over the Philippines.
159
00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:11,574
‐ The tapes reveal othervaluable information as well.
160
00:08:11,574 --> 00:08:14,577
In this deposition,filmed in 1991,
161
00:08:14,577 --> 00:08:17,080
Curtis shares what he knows.
162
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,666
‐ Bob: President Marcoshad been sitting for years
163
00:08:19,666 --> 00:08:21,543
on a treasure trove
164
00:08:21,543 --> 00:08:25,672
of fantastic sums of goldand other precious metals
165
00:08:25,672 --> 00:08:29,342
which were buried in and aroundthe Philippine Islands
166
00:08:29,342 --> 00:08:30,677
by the Japanese.
167
00:08:30,677 --> 00:08:32,429
President Marcos knew
168
00:08:32,429 --> 00:08:35,390
where all this materialwas located,
169
00:08:35,390 --> 00:08:36,933
and he was talking in terms
170
00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:39,269
of hundred thousandsof metric tons of gold.
171
00:08:41,479 --> 00:08:43,773
‐ Announcer:Marcos also tasked Curtis
172
00:08:43,773 --> 00:08:45,775
with decodingGolden Lily maps.
173
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:03,209
‐ When Marcos was oustedin 1986,
174
00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:05,420
Curtis allegedlykept those maps,
175
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:08,298
using them to aidhis own treasure hunts‐‐
176
00:09:08,298 --> 00:09:11,509
hunts he documented on tape.
177
00:09:21,478 --> 00:09:25,190
After analyzing hoursof video shot by Curtis,
178
00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:28,568
Rick shares what he foundwith John and his brother Rob.
179
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:30,403
‐ There's a ton
we can learn from this, man.
180
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,333
Listen to this.
181
00:09:51,633 --> 00:09:52,592
‐ ‐
182
00:09:54,344 --> 00:09:56,930
Our chamber is 300 feet down.
183
00:09:58,306 --> 00:10:00,809
‐ We're finding
a lot of similarities,
184
00:10:00,809 --> 00:10:03,645
especially large
geographical landmarks‐‐
185
00:10:03,645 --> 00:10:06,523
waterfalls on a couple
of these other projects
186
00:10:06,523 --> 00:10:07,941
very similar
to what we've got.
187
00:10:29,587 --> 00:10:30,755
‐ Did you hear what he said?
188
00:10:30,755 --> 00:10:32,006
‐ Yeah.
189
00:10:32,006 --> 00:10:33,800
He sent two guys off
to find the hole.
190
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,093
Listen to this.
191
00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:45,395
- ‐ Ooh.
- ‐ Holy.
192
00:10:45,395 --> 00:10:47,981
That could mean there's
another way into our waterfall.
193
00:10:49,274 --> 00:10:50,692
‐ Based on similarities
194
00:10:50,692 --> 00:10:52,527
between their waterfall site
195
00:10:52,527 --> 00:10:55,655
and the one describedby Bob Curtis on tape,
196
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:58,366
the team believesthere might be another way
197
00:10:58,366 --> 00:11:00,577
under the waterfall.
198
00:11:00,577 --> 00:11:03,413
‐ The whole process
is a huge gamble right now.
199
00:11:03,413 --> 00:11:05,165
We could be looking
for that doorway in
200
00:11:05,165 --> 00:11:07,500
that's not at the waterfall.
201
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:09,043
It sounds like I need
to refocus
202
00:11:09,043 --> 00:11:11,546
away from the waterfall
203
00:11:11,546 --> 00:11:14,257
and find another way in
to get underneath it.
204
00:11:21,264 --> 00:11:23,183
‐ Coriaso always thought
205
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:24,767
the treasure was
under the waterfall.
206
00:11:24,767 --> 00:11:27,061
The strange thing about it is
207
00:11:27,061 --> 00:11:29,022
is we never dug
under the waterfall.
208
00:11:29,022 --> 00:11:30,481
He never had us dig there.
209
00:11:30,481 --> 00:11:32,442
‐ 20 years ago,
210
00:11:32,442 --> 00:11:34,652
Rick was part of a treasurehunting expedition
211
00:11:34,652 --> 00:11:36,362
on this same mountain,
212
00:11:36,362 --> 00:11:39,324
led by retired Philippinemilitary officer
213
00:11:39,324 --> 00:11:41,075
Colonel Coriaso.
214
00:11:41,075 --> 00:11:44,162
‐ Coriaso had a map.
215
00:11:44,162 --> 00:11:45,788
The map was the key
to the whole thing.
216
00:11:47,248 --> 00:11:49,792
‐ A trusted confidanteof Marcos,
217
00:11:49,792 --> 00:11:54,047
Coriaso allegedly was givena treasure map.
218
00:11:54,047 --> 00:11:56,591
‐ We dug down
from the waterfall
219
00:11:56,591 --> 00:11:58,051
and way over to the right
220
00:11:58,051 --> 00:12:00,136
on that hillside
that drops into the valley.
221
00:12:00,136 --> 00:12:01,763
That's where we were digging.
222
00:12:01,763 --> 00:12:04,182
What I remember is the...
came along,
223
00:12:04,182 --> 00:12:06,517
and then the waterfall
dropped off.
224
00:12:06,517 --> 00:12:09,187
Okay. Now we've got the‐‐
225
00:12:09,187 --> 00:12:11,314
There's a ridge
that kind of comes down
226
00:12:11,314 --> 00:12:12,774
at this angle over here,
227
00:12:12,774 --> 00:12:15,193
and off that hillside
228
00:12:15,193 --> 00:12:16,569
way down here...
229
00:12:18,780 --> 00:12:20,490
that's where we were digging.
230
00:12:20,490 --> 00:12:22,242
There was something
significant
231
00:12:22,242 --> 00:12:23,993
on Coriaso's map.
232
00:12:23,993 --> 00:12:25,912
This is where
he had us digging.
233
00:12:25,912 --> 00:12:28,373
‐ Inspiredby the Curtis tapes
234
00:12:28,373 --> 00:12:30,124
and by Rick's memories,
235
00:12:30,124 --> 00:12:33,044
John sends tech expertsMax and Colin
236
00:12:33,044 --> 00:12:34,504
to scan the hillside,
237
00:12:34,504 --> 00:12:37,465
looking for a new wayinto the waterfall.
238
00:12:37,465 --> 00:12:40,260
‐ So Max and I have
the magnetometer.
239
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:42,845
We're gonna do
a grid pattern over this area
240
00:12:42,845 --> 00:12:44,430
that John and Rick
have identified.
241
00:12:47,934 --> 00:12:50,687
‐ They're looking for metalthat could be a sign
242
00:12:50,687 --> 00:12:53,648
of either treasureor tunnel building,
243
00:12:53,648 --> 00:12:55,608
but the areathey're investigating
244
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:58,069
is over 600 acres.
245
00:12:58,069 --> 00:12:59,445
Locatinga tunnel entrance here
246
00:12:59,445 --> 00:13:00,655
won't be easy.
247
00:13:00,655 --> 00:13:02,031
‐ Wherever we are,
248
00:13:02,031 --> 00:13:03,658
it seems like we're
in the middle of nowhere
249
00:13:03,658 --> 00:13:06,077
walking over cliffs
and through trees
250
00:13:06,077 --> 00:13:08,204
and branches in the face
and raining on you.
251
00:13:08,204 --> 00:13:10,164
We're definitely
pushing the boundaries
252
00:13:10,164 --> 00:13:11,374
of what our equipment
is able to handle.
253
00:13:13,876 --> 00:13:17,297
‐ It's just a slow process,
but it's got to be methodical,
254
00:13:17,297 --> 00:13:19,799
and we've got to just map out
this mountain as best we can
255
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:22,260
and find any anomalies
that would help John
256
00:13:22,260 --> 00:13:23,469
on his goal
to find the treasure.
257
00:13:30,727 --> 00:13:32,895
‐ Back at basecamp,
258
00:13:32,895 --> 00:13:35,982
historian Craig Gottliebarrives on the mountain
259
00:13:35,982 --> 00:13:39,694
to help decode the mysterybehind a recent find.
260
00:13:39,694 --> 00:13:42,488
‐ I'm a military artifact
dealer, a historian,
261
00:13:42,488 --> 00:13:44,323
and I was a Marine
for 12 years.
262
00:13:44,323 --> 00:13:46,784
I focus primarily
on military weapons
263
00:13:46,784 --> 00:13:48,995
'cause, for me,
history's really important
264
00:13:48,995 --> 00:13:52,165
and military weapons are a way
to jump off and study history.
265
00:13:54,208 --> 00:13:57,336
‐ When exploring the tunnelwith the rover,
266
00:13:57,336 --> 00:13:59,922
the team discoveredan abandoned knife
267
00:13:59,922 --> 00:14:02,175
200 feet inside.
268
00:14:02,175 --> 00:14:05,344
‐ Looks like my Ka‐Bar.
269
00:14:05,344 --> 00:14:08,139
Ka‐Bar is a military style
fighting knife.
270
00:14:08,139 --> 00:14:10,183
They've been used all the way
back in World War II.
271
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:11,601
They're standard issue
in the Marine Corps.
272
00:14:13,311 --> 00:14:15,229
‐ They're hopingto get answers
273
00:14:15,229 --> 00:14:17,857
on who leftthis knife behind
274
00:14:17,857 --> 00:14:19,275
and when.
275
00:14:21,027 --> 00:14:22,361
‐ We really appreciate
you coming out here,
276
00:14:22,361 --> 00:14:23,863
trekking all this way.
277
00:14:23,863 --> 00:14:25,281
We really got something
special to show you.
278
00:14:25,281 --> 00:14:26,908
It's, it's not gold,
279
00:14:26,908 --> 00:14:29,911
but to us
it's definitely a treasure.
280
00:14:29,911 --> 00:14:31,621
‐ So what are you seeing,
Craig?
281
00:14:31,621 --> 00:14:33,748
‐ Well, I'm seeing a really old
rusty knife here,
282
00:14:33,748 --> 00:14:34,957
but there's more to the story.
283
00:14:34,957 --> 00:14:36,501
Tell me
what you know about this
284
00:14:36,501 --> 00:14:38,127
and where you found it.
285
00:14:38,127 --> 00:14:39,712
‐ I found this
inside of the tunnel.
286
00:14:39,712 --> 00:14:42,632
It was in an area where
there was part of a collapse.
287
00:14:42,632 --> 00:14:45,259
It looks like my Ka‐Bar
that I carry.
288
00:14:45,259 --> 00:14:46,928
I have it, actually,
with me right here.
289
00:14:46,928 --> 00:14:48,721
‐ You make a good point.
It looks like a Ka‐Bar,
290
00:14:48,721 --> 00:14:49,889
but it's not.
291
00:14:51,474 --> 00:14:54,060
And this is, without a doubt,
an American knife.
292
00:14:55,728 --> 00:14:59,148
This is a pilot's
survival knife.
293
00:14:59,148 --> 00:15:00,817
‐ John: Wow.
294
00:15:00,817 --> 00:15:02,652
‐ People call this knife
a mini‐Ka‐Bar,
295
00:15:02,652 --> 00:15:04,570
and for good reason.
It's just smaller.
296
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:07,073
This was designed
specifically,
297
00:15:07,073 --> 00:15:08,491
for two purposes‐‐
298
00:15:08,491 --> 00:15:09,700
to be a survival knife
299
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:11,244
when a pilot went down
and crashed.
300
00:15:11,244 --> 00:15:12,703
‐ ‐
‐ But it was also designed
301
00:15:12,703 --> 00:15:14,580
to be used
as an extrication tool
302
00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:17,500
a pilot could use
to get out of the cockpit.
303
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:19,752
Um, so you have
this clip point here,
304
00:15:19,752 --> 00:15:21,212
which a pilot could use
305
00:15:21,212 --> 00:15:22,964
to stab a hole
into the fuselage.
306
00:15:22,964 --> 00:15:24,632
‐ ‐
‐ And then something different
307
00:15:24,632 --> 00:15:26,217
that you don't see
on the Ka‐Bar‐‐
308
00:15:26,217 --> 00:15:30,513
um, you've got a sawtooth
edge here on the back, okay?
309
00:15:30,513 --> 00:15:32,014
So what that
could be used for,
310
00:15:32,014 --> 00:15:35,101
it could be used
to cut out of the fuselage
311
00:15:35,101 --> 00:15:37,436
after the pilot's made
that point inside the fuselage.
312
00:15:37,436 --> 00:15:39,939
‐ My question is,
who left this there?
313
00:15:39,939 --> 00:15:41,941
You know, was this picked up
by a Japanese soldier
314
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:43,359
as a souvenir or as a tool
315
00:15:43,359 --> 00:15:44,652
that they found
in the battlefield,
316
00:15:44,652 --> 00:15:46,237
or was there a POW?
317
00:15:46,237 --> 00:15:47,488
I mean, this is something
318
00:15:47,488 --> 00:15:49,073
that you wouldn't
normally leave behind.
319
00:15:49,073 --> 00:15:50,366
‐ You certainly wouldn't
drop it and lose it.
320
00:15:50,366 --> 00:15:51,951
‐ No, it's your livelihood,
you know,
321
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:53,661
when you're out in the field.
322
00:15:53,661 --> 00:15:55,037
You drop your knife
or your rifle,
323
00:15:55,037 --> 00:15:57,123
that's one of the last things
you want to lose.
324
00:15:57,123 --> 00:15:59,542
‐ Um, I'm not entirely sure
yet how it got there.
325
00:15:59,542 --> 00:16:02,086
The good news is is that
there were three companies
326
00:16:02,086 --> 00:16:03,504
that made a knife like this,
327
00:16:03,504 --> 00:16:04,964
and if we take a closer look,
328
00:16:04,964 --> 00:16:06,549
we may be able to pin down
329
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,593
exactly when this knife
was made,
330
00:16:08,593 --> 00:16:11,470
which we'll tell you
maybe not who carried it
331
00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:13,389
but when it was left
in the tunnel.
332
00:16:13,389 --> 00:16:14,891
‐ I mean, it's crazy to think‐‐
333
00:16:14,891 --> 00:16:16,184
the possibilities
of this knife,
334
00:16:16,184 --> 00:16:17,602
where it's been,
who carried it,
335
00:16:17,602 --> 00:16:18,811
how it ended up
in this tunnel.
336
00:16:27,153 --> 00:16:28,821
I got to know what it is.
‐ Yeah.
337
00:16:30,323 --> 00:16:31,908
I'm starting
to see something there.
338
00:16:31,908 --> 00:16:32,909
Okay. There we go.
339
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:35,786
‐ What are...
‐ Okay.
340
00:16:35,786 --> 00:16:37,622
And you've got some letters,
which is great.
341
00:16:37,622 --> 00:16:40,208
‐ I'm gonna use my loop.
342
00:16:40,208 --> 00:16:41,125
All right.
343
00:16:46,130 --> 00:16:47,006
Now I see it.
344
00:16:52,803 --> 00:16:54,513
Camillus.
345
00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:56,307
This knife was made
by Camillus,
346
00:16:56,307 --> 00:16:57,642
which was
the government contractor.
347
00:16:57,642 --> 00:16:59,685
I can see the "U. S."
348
00:16:59,685 --> 00:17:01,854
and a little baby bit
of the "New York."
349
00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:03,064
‐ So do you know
when they were starting
350
00:17:03,064 --> 00:17:04,357
to do the government
contract with this?
351
00:17:04,357 --> 00:17:05,858
‐ I do. At very minimum,
352
00:17:05,858 --> 00:17:08,361
this knife was manufactured
in 1961,
353
00:17:08,361 --> 00:17:09,779
but it could have been
made in '71.
354
00:17:09,779 --> 00:17:11,155
It could have been made
in '81.
355
00:17:11,155 --> 00:17:14,367
But at very minimum,
'61 or beyond.
356
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:16,410
It's a jet pilot
survival knife.
357
00:17:16,410 --> 00:17:18,204
And we know that it's been
in your tunnel
358
00:17:18,204 --> 00:17:19,997
a very long time. Why?
Because of the pitting.
359
00:17:19,997 --> 00:17:22,208
This is old pitting.
This is not recent age.
360
00:17:23,751 --> 00:17:25,211
‐ When I first seen
this knife,
361
00:17:25,211 --> 00:17:26,837
I thought it was
World War II era.
362
00:17:26,837 --> 00:17:28,339
It was pretty
disheartening to me
363
00:17:28,339 --> 00:17:30,049
to hear that it was
from a different time frame.
364
00:17:30,049 --> 00:17:32,260
‐ What we don't know
is who dropped it.
365
00:17:32,260 --> 00:17:34,554
What I'd really like
to find out
366
00:17:34,554 --> 00:17:35,846
is more about the tunnel
itself.
367
00:17:35,846 --> 00:17:38,349
Why? Because,
getting that information
368
00:17:38,349 --> 00:17:40,351
alongside the actual age
to the weapon,
369
00:17:40,351 --> 00:17:42,019
that would give me
a real indication
370
00:17:42,019 --> 00:17:44,730
of sort of the other side
of that date range.
371
00:17:44,730 --> 00:17:47,066
But going down the tunnel
and taking a look
372
00:17:47,066 --> 00:17:49,402
really helps solidify
that educated guess.
373
00:17:49,402 --> 00:17:51,070
‐ We can grab some lights
and some hard hats.
374
00:17:51,070 --> 00:17:52,446
We can head on down there
375
00:17:52,446 --> 00:17:53,573
and show you
where we found it at.
376
00:17:53,573 --> 00:17:54,699
‐ That would be great.
377
00:17:57,743 --> 00:17:59,996
‐ With the entrancenow secured,
378
00:17:59,996 --> 00:18:02,373
the team can safelyenter the tunnel.
379
00:18:10,047 --> 00:18:12,174
‐ This is the spot.
This is where we made it.
380
00:18:13,926 --> 00:18:15,928
So out knife was
about right here, Levi?
381
00:18:15,928 --> 00:18:19,223
‐ Yep. The blade was actually‐‐
when we found it,
382
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:21,267
it looked somewhat
like this here.
383
00:18:21,267 --> 00:18:24,061
‐ You say that the, blade
was in the dirt
384
00:18:24,061 --> 00:18:25,313
and the handle was exposed?
385
00:18:25,313 --> 00:18:26,272
Well, there's pitting
everywhere,
386
00:18:27,398 --> 00:18:27,773
but there's more pitting
on the handle
387
00:18:28,608 --> 00:18:29,317
than there is on the blade.
388
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:30,985
As you start to look
at the bigger picture,
389
00:18:31,611 --> 00:18:32,570
it's easy to say
390
00:18:33,946 --> 00:18:34,780
this knife has been down here
for 40 or 50 years,
391
00:18:35,906 --> 00:18:38,784
and that puts it 1970's,
1980's, maybe.
392
00:18:38,784 --> 00:18:41,120
‐ We're looking
at treasure hunters again
393
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,080
in that time frame.
394
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,290
‐ That's what I'm
starting to wonder‐‐
395
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:45,833
if it wasn't treasure hunters,
you know?
396
00:18:45,833 --> 00:18:49,670
He identified this knife
to be from the '70s or '80s.
397
00:18:49,670 --> 00:18:52,006
If it was '70s or '80s,
the chances are
398
00:18:52,006 --> 00:18:53,466
that there has been
treasure hunters in here.
399
00:18:53,466 --> 00:18:55,676
The bend that's in it,
400
00:18:55,676 --> 00:18:58,137
it's bent like somebody
stuck it in there
401
00:18:58,137 --> 00:18:59,430
and possibly pried on it.
402
00:18:59,430 --> 00:19:00,806
Maybe they had a box of gold
403
00:19:00,806 --> 00:19:01,974
or something they found here.
404
00:19:01,974 --> 00:19:03,601
They beat it in there,
405
00:19:03,601 --> 00:19:05,061
and bent it, pried it over,
406
00:19:05,061 --> 00:19:06,729
grabbed the gold,
407
00:19:06,729 --> 00:19:08,814
and ran
and forgot their knife.
408
00:19:08,814 --> 00:19:10,816
‐ If a treasure hunter
dropped this knife,
409
00:19:10,816 --> 00:19:12,109
it means
that they were thinking
410
00:19:12,109 --> 00:19:13,486
the same thing
you're thinking.
411
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:14,945
‐ We're not the first ones
that have been here.
412
00:19:14,945 --> 00:19:16,947
Somebody else was on
to the same thing we're on.
413
00:19:16,947 --> 00:19:20,993
So the big question here is,
who did this belong to?
414
00:19:20,993 --> 00:19:22,662
I think the only way
we're gonna find out
415
00:19:22,662 --> 00:19:24,330
is by getting to the end
of this tunnel
416
00:19:24,330 --> 00:19:26,499
and seeing who else was here,
417
00:19:26,499 --> 00:19:28,000
thinking there was treasure
here at one point.
418
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,960
Did they find something?
419
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,837
Did they beat us
to the treasure?
420
00:19:31,837 --> 00:19:34,298
Chances are that there has been
treasure hunters in here.
421
00:19:35,466 --> 00:19:37,510
‐ Dating the knife raiseseven more questions
422
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:38,844
about the tunnel,
423
00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:41,347
includingwho actually built it.
424
00:19:44,558 --> 00:19:47,687
To find answers, Rick headssouth of the mountain
425
00:19:47,687 --> 00:19:50,731
to a sitenear the province of Bamban.
426
00:19:50,731 --> 00:19:53,359
‐ I'm not sure about
the tunnel that we found.
427
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,195
We're not sure if it was
built by the Japanese
428
00:19:56,195 --> 00:19:58,531
or if it connects to a network
of tunnels or not.
429
00:20:00,741 --> 00:20:02,910
‐ He's meeting witha Philippine historian...
430
00:20:05,538 --> 00:20:07,039
who's researched
431
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:09,375
a World War IIJapanese tunnel system
432
00:20:09,375 --> 00:20:11,127
called the Onishi Tunnels.
433
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:14,088
‐ Hi, Rhonie.
how are you this morning?
434
00:20:14,088 --> 00:20:15,506
‐ Hi, how you doing?
‐ Good to meet you.
435
00:20:15,506 --> 00:20:17,049
‐ Nice to see you.
‐ I've never been
436
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,509
inside of a Japanese
army tunnel.
437
00:20:18,509 --> 00:20:20,553
I'm hoping to be able
to get a better idea
438
00:20:20,553 --> 00:20:22,763
of how they were constructed,
439
00:20:22,763 --> 00:20:26,016
what the tools were,
timbering, that sort of thing.
440
00:20:26,016 --> 00:20:28,394
When we get into the tunnels
in our mountain,
441
00:20:28,394 --> 00:20:30,062
we want to be able
to do a comparison.
442
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:47,538
‐ Vice Admiral Takajuro Onishi
443
00:20:47,538 --> 00:20:50,458
is known as the fatherof Japan's Kamikaze.
444
00:20:50,458 --> 00:20:54,879
As Allied forces advancedin the Pacific Theater,
445
00:20:54,879 --> 00:20:58,090
he unleashed the firstsquadron of Kamikaze pilots
446
00:20:58,090 --> 00:21:00,259
in the battle of Leyte Gulf.
447
00:21:03,637 --> 00:21:07,725
Over 2,800 Japanese pilotscrashed their planes,
448
00:21:07,725 --> 00:21:10,478
killing 4,900 Americans...
449
00:21:13,689 --> 00:21:17,234
In one of the deadliestnaval battles in history.
450
00:21:18,903 --> 00:21:21,197
When Japanfinally surrendered,
451
00:21:21,197 --> 00:21:24,784
Onishi committedritual suicide
452
00:21:24,784 --> 00:21:26,494
in these tunnels.
453
00:21:28,037 --> 00:21:30,247
‐ Here we are.
‐ Wow! Wow, wow, wow!
454
00:21:30,247 --> 00:21:32,875
‐ The famous Onishi Tunnel.
455
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:39,673
‐ Look at how this opens up
right here.
456
00:21:39,673 --> 00:21:42,885
‐ Ooh, yeah!
It's a typical Japanese tunnel.
457
00:21:47,598 --> 00:21:49,183
‐ It opens up. It opens up.
458
00:21:49,183 --> 00:21:50,100
‐ Yeah.
459
00:22:01,362 --> 00:22:03,614
‐ Here's a photo. You could
see here the wooden brace.
460
00:22:03,614 --> 00:22:05,157
‐ Look at that.
‐ Yeah.
461
00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:06,784
‐ They've got an angled
timber in there.
462
00:22:06,784 --> 00:22:09,078
‐ Yep. These are
supposed to be angled.
463
00:22:09,078 --> 00:22:10,830
‐ So up here like this.
‐ Brace.
464
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:12,832
‐ And then an angled piece
and one across the top...
465
00:22:12,832 --> 00:22:14,500
‐ Right.
‐ ...and back down.
466
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:18,462
This looks a lot like
what I can see in our tunnel.
467
00:22:18,462 --> 00:22:19,797
‐ Really?
‐ The wood,
468
00:22:19,797 --> 00:22:20,756
the wood framing, yes.
469
00:22:22,967 --> 00:22:25,761
The Japanese really were
masters at this.
470
00:22:25,761 --> 00:22:28,848
This has endured over
the years of the war bombing
471
00:22:28,848 --> 00:22:31,809
and still intact.
Looks perfect.
472
00:22:31,809 --> 00:22:34,979
If we've got the
same sort of engineering in our
tunnel,
473
00:22:34,979 --> 00:22:37,690
it would absolutely
prove that it's Japanese.
474
00:22:37,690 --> 00:22:40,860
Like this one, it probably
goes way back in the mountain
475
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:43,195
and ties into a whole system
of tunnels.
476
00:22:43,195 --> 00:22:45,364
What an ideal place
to hide treasure.
477
00:22:49,618 --> 00:22:51,954
‐ Deep in the Philippinemountains,
478
00:22:51,954 --> 00:22:55,124
based on a new cluein the Bob Curtis tapes,
479
00:22:55,124 --> 00:22:58,002
Max and Colincontinue searching
480
00:22:58,002 --> 00:23:00,754
for any evidenceof a manmade tunnel
481
00:23:00,754 --> 00:23:02,172
leading to the waterfall site.
482
00:23:07,219 --> 00:23:09,305
‐ There's something right here.
‐ Okay.
483
00:23:09,305 --> 00:23:10,890
‐ You wanna come
and check it out?
484
00:23:13,767 --> 00:23:15,352
I'm pretty sure
it's right‐‐right...
485
00:23:15,352 --> 00:23:17,021
‐ Yeah.
‐ ...on this little mound here.
486
00:23:17,021 --> 00:23:18,731
Should I flag it?
487
00:23:18,731 --> 00:23:20,816
‐ Definitely.
488
00:23:20,816 --> 00:23:24,236
‐ Max and Colin alert Johnand Rob about their find.
489
00:23:24,236 --> 00:23:26,322
‐ So find some cool stuff?
490
00:23:26,322 --> 00:23:28,949
‐ Yeah. Got a hit
over by these rocks.
491
00:23:28,949 --> 00:23:30,993
‐ Very cool.
‐ Okay.
492
00:23:30,993 --> 00:23:33,537
‐ So, let's just dig it up
493
00:23:33,537 --> 00:23:34,914
and see what it is.
‐ All right.
494
00:23:36,457 --> 00:23:38,417
‐ They're looking for metal,
495
00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:41,795
which could mean eithertreasure or a tunnel site.
496
00:23:45,007 --> 00:23:46,008
‐ I'm ready.
497
00:23:52,973 --> 00:23:56,393
‐ I would say
it's deeper down, for sure.
498
00:23:56,393 --> 00:23:57,728
‐ We're still
getting a reading,
499
00:23:57,728 --> 00:23:59,146
but down pretty deep.
What do you think?
500
00:23:59,146 --> 00:24:00,564
‐ That's a good sign.
If it's deep, you know,
501
00:24:00,564 --> 00:24:02,107
that's a very good sign.
502
00:24:02,107 --> 00:24:04,360
I'm thinking there's probably
a pretty decent target
503
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:06,111
maybe down there.
‐ You want to check it again?
504
00:24:06,111 --> 00:24:07,821
‐ Yep.
505
00:24:12,368 --> 00:24:13,535
‐ Still consistent.
506
00:24:13,535 --> 00:24:14,453
‐ It's that signal identical.
507
00:24:16,705 --> 00:24:18,582
‐ Signal's not low enough yet,
508
00:24:18,582 --> 00:24:20,793
but it's relatively consistent
going down.
509
00:24:20,793 --> 00:24:22,628
‐ What do you want to do?
510
00:24:22,628 --> 00:24:26,924
‐ Desperate to find the tunnel,John takes a gamble.
511
00:24:26,924 --> 00:24:29,426
‐ I really want to see
what's in the bottom here.
512
00:24:29,426 --> 00:24:31,971
Maybe it's time to get a bet‐‐
the excavator up here
513
00:24:31,971 --> 00:24:33,430
and just dig
this damn thing out.
514
00:24:37,017 --> 00:24:38,936
The next day,
515
00:24:38,936 --> 00:24:42,106
head researcher Bingo Minervaupdates the team
516
00:24:42,106 --> 00:24:44,024
with new information
517
00:24:44,024 --> 00:24:47,820
regarding how much treasuremay still be in the mountains.
518
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:49,571
‐ Hello, Bingo. How are ya?
519
00:24:49,571 --> 00:24:50,489
‐ I'm doing good, guys.How you doing today?
520
00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:51,573
‐ We're good.
521
00:24:51,573 --> 00:24:52,950
‐ So I've been working
522
00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:55,577
with military historianPJ Springer.
523
00:24:55,577 --> 00:24:57,121
Now, he had a lot of evidence
524
00:24:57,121 --> 00:24:58,831
that he gotfrom the National Archives
525
00:24:58,831 --> 00:25:01,333
that show what the Japanesewere looting
526
00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:03,502
and, not only that,how much of it they looted.
527
00:25:03,502 --> 00:25:05,629
‐ For the purposes
of your team,
528
00:25:05,629 --> 00:25:08,632
if we're talking about the
northeastern portion of Luzon,
529
00:25:08,632 --> 00:25:10,801
and in particular
Nueva Vizcaya,
530
00:25:10,801 --> 00:25:12,803
that's the last place
531
00:25:12,803 --> 00:25:14,763
that the Japanese
are getting pushed into
532
00:25:14,763 --> 00:25:16,807
when Yamashita
finally surrenders.
533
00:25:16,807 --> 00:25:19,184
If there's a huge
treasure trove,
534
00:25:19,184 --> 00:25:21,270
it's going to be
in the last places
535
00:25:21,270 --> 00:25:22,521
that were under
Yamashita's control.
536
00:25:25,482 --> 00:25:27,359
‐ Do you know
the total value of treasure
537
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,236
that the Japanese
took and looted?
538
00:25:29,236 --> 00:25:30,612
‐ You're talking hundreds
of billions of dollars
539
00:25:30,612 --> 00:25:32,906
unaccounted for.
‐ Wow.
540
00:25:32,906 --> 00:25:34,450
‐ My conservative estimate is
541
00:25:34,450 --> 00:25:37,161
maybe 20% of it
has been recovered.
542
00:25:37,161 --> 00:25:38,662
‐ What happened
to the other 80%?
543
00:25:38,662 --> 00:25:40,998
‐ An awful lot of it
is just a complete mystery.
544
00:25:42,166 --> 00:25:44,209
‐ Announcer:According to Bingo's research,
545
00:25:44,209 --> 00:25:48,589
the treasure on the mountainmight be more than just gold.
546
00:25:48,589 --> 00:25:50,257
‐ Bingo:Really exciting stuff.
547
00:25:50,257 --> 00:25:51,967
I mean, I've got a numberof pictures here.
548
00:25:51,967 --> 00:25:53,969
I think this is oneof the cooler pictures.
549
00:25:53,969 --> 00:25:56,638
These are little canistersfull of diamonds.
550
00:25:56,638 --> 00:25:57,681
I mean, there wereso many of them
551
00:25:58,849 --> 00:25:59,058
that they didn'teven count it.
552
00:26:00,392 --> 00:26:00,893
They measured itby weight of the carat
553
00:26:01,727 --> 00:26:02,269
that they had in them.
554
00:26:03,312 --> 00:26:03,937
‐ Show me pictures
of treasure, man,
555
00:26:04,772 --> 00:26:05,397
and my blood starts to boil.
556
00:26:06,648 --> 00:26:07,608
I want to start
digging a hole like a gopher.
557
00:26:09,234 --> 00:26:11,236
‐ One of the main thingsthey had were these coins.
558
00:26:11,236 --> 00:26:12,780
I don't knowif you can see that there,
559
00:26:12,780 --> 00:26:14,198
but a lot of it was stored
560
00:26:14,198 --> 00:26:16,784
in, like, burlap sacksand crates.
561
00:26:16,784 --> 00:26:18,535
‐ You know, there's a very‐‐
562
00:26:18,535 --> 00:26:20,704
really good possibility,
like at Breach 6
563
00:26:20,704 --> 00:26:22,998
where they just picked up,
like, metal hits or iron hits.
564
00:26:22,998 --> 00:26:24,750
There's just an endless
possibility
565
00:26:24,750 --> 00:26:26,293
of what could be in there.
566
00:26:26,293 --> 00:26:28,754
There could be diamonds, gems.
567
00:26:28,754 --> 00:26:31,215
I mean,
the list goes on and on.
568
00:26:31,215 --> 00:26:32,925
‐ Announcer:Recent NMR scans
569
00:26:32,925 --> 00:26:35,636
conducted by the teamover Breach 6
570
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,514
indicatea large cache of metal
571
00:26:38,514 --> 00:26:40,057
just below the surface.
572
00:26:41,683 --> 00:26:43,602
Hoping the hits aremetal canisters,
573
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:46,480
Rick returns to the site.
574
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,149
‐ I've been chasing
this treasure
575
00:26:49,149 --> 00:26:51,151
for almost 20 years.
576
00:26:51,151 --> 00:26:55,989
When I was here 20 years ago,
the Pyramid Rock was here.
577
00:26:55,989 --> 00:26:58,200
There was no Breach 6.
578
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,869
Nobody had dug a hole
in the ground.
579
00:27:00,869 --> 00:27:02,788
‐ But according to Rick,
580
00:27:02,788 --> 00:27:06,125
during the time he workedwith Colonel Coriaso,
581
00:27:06,125 --> 00:27:07,960
the Colonel was interestedin this area
582
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,212
as well as the waterfall.
583
00:27:10,212 --> 00:27:12,631
‐ Rick:
Coriaso had a map with him,
584
00:27:12,631 --> 00:27:14,633
and, you know, he wasn't
sharing it with anybody.
585
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:16,218
He was keeping it
really secretive.
586
00:27:16,218 --> 00:27:18,762
I got to see it one time,
just a glimpse.
587
00:27:18,762 --> 00:27:21,014
It kinda showed
where a pyramid was,
588
00:27:21,014 --> 00:27:23,267
and there was a lot
of Japanese writing on it.
589
00:27:23,267 --> 00:27:25,185
He kept saying, you know,
"That's‐‐
590
00:27:25,185 --> 00:27:28,146
That's where we want to dig.
That's where we want to dig."
591
00:27:28,146 --> 00:27:31,567
I'm not sure if they kept
going with, once I was gone.
592
00:27:31,567 --> 00:27:36,029
‐ Rick suspects the existenceof the hole known as Breach 6
593
00:27:36,029 --> 00:27:39,616
indicates Coriaso and his menreturned to the site
594
00:27:39,616 --> 00:27:41,660
to excavate it.
595
00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:45,831
But whether Coriaso reachedthe treasure is unknown.
596
00:27:45,831 --> 00:27:49,042
For decades,dark stories have surfaced
597
00:27:49,042 --> 00:27:51,169
about a team of treasurehunters digging here.
598
00:28:08,395 --> 00:28:11,398
And the areastill has dangers.
599
00:28:11,398 --> 00:28:13,817
‐ Rick: We've got
the Pyramid Rock.
600
00:28:13,817 --> 00:28:16,361
We've got this tree,
roots hanging out.
601
00:28:16,361 --> 00:28:18,906
We've got a boulder
about to come down.
602
00:28:18,906 --> 00:28:21,491
We've got this undercut
over here.
603
00:28:21,491 --> 00:28:22,951
‐ Steve: Wow.
604
00:28:22,951 --> 00:28:24,494
This site's a lot more
dangerous than I thought.
605
00:28:24,494 --> 00:28:26,914
‐ Before proceeding further,
606
00:28:26,914 --> 00:28:30,584
Rick wants to better understandthe lay of the land.
607
00:28:30,584 --> 00:28:32,210
‐ There's a lot going on here.
608
00:28:32,210 --> 00:28:33,921
We need to get
the tech team over here...
609
00:28:36,256 --> 00:28:38,008
and have them help establish
610
00:28:38,008 --> 00:28:40,427
a pinpoint‐accurate place
to dig.
611
00:28:47,184 --> 00:28:49,603
‐ Yes! In this situation,
612
00:28:49,603 --> 00:28:52,064
it's too dangerous
to walk into the Breach 6.
613
00:28:52,064 --> 00:28:53,607
The area is very unstable.
614
00:28:53,607 --> 00:28:55,400
We're not comfortable
going in there,
615
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,903
so we're gonna fly our drone
with the magnetometer,
616
00:28:57,903 --> 00:28:59,321
and that provides
a perfect solution
617
00:28:59,321 --> 00:29:00,656
to get in there safely
618
00:29:00,656 --> 00:29:03,325
and still collect
very high‐quality data.
619
00:29:03,325 --> 00:29:04,826
You got a couple meters
still, Colin.
620
00:29:09,581 --> 00:29:12,250
‐ Later that day,back at basecamp,
621
00:29:12,250 --> 00:29:14,962
Max and Colin show Ricktheir findings
622
00:29:14,962 --> 00:29:16,672
from the magnetometer scans.
623
00:29:16,672 --> 00:29:18,256
‐ How you doing?
624
00:29:18,256 --> 00:29:21,051
‐ So here's the Breach 6 data.
625
00:29:21,051 --> 00:29:23,595
We went in this whole area.
626
00:29:23,595 --> 00:29:26,765
There's these three anomalies
that we think are interesting.
627
00:29:26,765 --> 00:29:30,727
‐ So at this point,
we're here, here, and here.
628
00:29:30,727 --> 00:29:33,522
‐ Yeah.
‐ We've got the satellite scan,
629
00:29:33,522 --> 00:29:35,607
and it runs
right over that same line.
630
00:29:35,607 --> 00:29:36,692
So, I mean,
all of these things
631
00:29:36,692 --> 00:29:38,068
kind of start stacking up.
‐ Right.
632
00:29:38,068 --> 00:29:39,403
‐ You know, I really think
633
00:29:39,403 --> 00:29:41,279
that there's a tunnel
running along that line.
634
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:43,573
Um, I think we've got
enough information.
635
00:29:43,573 --> 00:29:45,909
We should dig. And I think
we should dig right there
636
00:29:45,909 --> 00:29:47,285
next to the larger anomaly.
637
00:29:51,289 --> 00:29:55,627
I think this ferrous line
is the key to the puzzle.
638
00:29:56,837 --> 00:29:57,963
‐ So we're
on top of something.
639
00:29:57,963 --> 00:29:59,881
‐ Rick: We're on top
of something.
640
00:29:59,881 --> 00:30:01,174
Definitely on top of something.
641
00:30:01,174 --> 00:30:03,260
‐ The biggest target they got,
642
00:30:03,260 --> 00:30:05,804
that's where we're gonna go,
right here.
643
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:07,305
We need to start digging.
644
00:30:11,476 --> 00:30:14,021
20 years I've been waiting
for this. This is awesome.
645
00:30:14,021 --> 00:30:16,314
‐ Steve: I'm gonna take
your stake out. Here it goes.
646
00:30:21,486 --> 00:30:23,905
‐ We don't know exactly
what's down there.
647
00:30:23,905 --> 00:30:26,241
We don't know
what kind of metal it is.
648
00:30:26,241 --> 00:30:28,785
The metal readings could be
iron boxes full of gold.
649
00:30:28,785 --> 00:30:30,787
This could be a tunnel.
It could be a room.
650
00:30:30,787 --> 00:30:33,040
It could be artifacts,
could be machine guns,
651
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,000
could be tanks for all I know.
652
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,334
But until we get
to the bottom,
653
00:30:36,334 --> 00:30:37,669
we're just not gonna know.
654
00:30:42,924 --> 00:30:45,302
‐ But not farinto the excavation,
655
00:30:45,302 --> 00:30:48,847
Steve runs intoa major problem.
656
00:30:48,847 --> 00:30:51,433
‐ How's that ground so far?
Is it holding up?
657
00:30:51,433 --> 00:30:52,851
‐ Not at all.
658
00:30:52,851 --> 00:30:55,270
This is the crappiest stuff
I've ever dug in.
659
00:30:55,270 --> 00:30:57,355
‐ Yeah, it's kinda what it
looks like from my side, too.
660
00:30:57,355 --> 00:30:59,524
I don't know how much we're
gonna be able to step this down.
661
00:30:59,524 --> 00:31:02,069
It looks like it's just
gonna fall in on you.
662
00:31:02,069 --> 00:31:07,157
‐ The soil around the dig siteis too unstable to dig deeper.
663
00:31:07,157 --> 00:31:08,992
‐ It's not gonna hold up.
664
00:31:08,992 --> 00:31:11,036
‐ So we still gotta be careful
as we're going down.
665
00:31:11,036 --> 00:31:13,789
Get it as good as you can.
666
00:31:13,789 --> 00:31:17,334
‐ If Rick has any shotat reaching the metal target,
667
00:31:17,334 --> 00:31:20,462
he'll need to figure outa safer way in.
668
00:31:20,462 --> 00:31:21,880
‐ It feels like me against
the mountain,
669
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,507
just frustrating.
670
00:31:27,803 --> 00:31:30,055
‐ With the Breach 6 digon hold,
671
00:31:30,055 --> 00:31:32,349
the team to pivots.
672
00:31:32,349 --> 00:31:36,144
Days earlier, the tech teamfound a possible clue
673
00:31:36,144 --> 00:31:38,480
as they searchedfor an alternate way
674
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:39,856
into the waterfall.
675
00:31:39,856 --> 00:31:41,024
‐ There's something
right here.
676
00:31:44,277 --> 00:31:46,279
‐ I would say
it's deeper down.
677
00:31:46,279 --> 00:31:48,323
‐ Though it's notmuch to go on,
678
00:31:48,323 --> 00:31:50,617
John gambles on exploring it,
679
00:31:50,617 --> 00:31:54,412
hoping it will be a tunnelleading to the waterfall.
680
00:31:54,412 --> 00:31:55,831
‐ I want to see
681
00:31:55,831 --> 00:31:57,916
that the entrance
to the tunnel is here.
682
00:31:57,916 --> 00:31:59,751
I want to know
what's in there.
683
00:31:59,751 --> 00:32:02,045
I want to get the excavator
up here.
684
00:32:02,045 --> 00:32:04,756
All right, Michele,
come right on at me.
685
00:32:04,756 --> 00:32:08,093
‐ John's brother Roband Michele are tasked
686
00:32:08,093 --> 00:32:11,346
with getting the team's otherexcavator to the new dig site.
687
00:32:11,346 --> 00:32:13,807
‐ Without getting this
excavator to that site,
688
00:32:13,807 --> 00:32:16,268
we don't stand a chance
in recovering it.
689
00:32:16,268 --> 00:32:17,686
We have to make this road,
690
00:32:17,686 --> 00:32:19,104
and we have to get
to the site.
691
00:32:21,148 --> 00:32:23,942
‐ It's not easy to get
an excavator of this size
692
00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:26,027
through terrain like this,
693
00:32:26,027 --> 00:32:27,612
so she's basically just taking
the higher part of the hill
694
00:32:27,612 --> 00:32:29,364
and moving it down
to the lower
695
00:32:29,364 --> 00:32:30,699
so that we can continue
to move forward
696
00:32:30,699 --> 00:32:31,783
without falling down it.
697
00:32:33,910 --> 00:32:35,203
There's so many variables.
698
00:32:35,203 --> 00:32:36,913
There are so many things
that can go wrong.
699
00:32:36,913 --> 00:32:37,914
This is extremely difficult.
700
00:32:41,585 --> 00:32:44,462
‐ Just as Michele and Robstart making progress...
701
00:32:46,256 --> 00:32:48,842
‐ Michele: Whoa!
‐ Rob: Wait. Wait.
702
00:32:48,842 --> 00:32:52,220
‐ ...the excavatorhits soft ground,
703
00:32:52,220 --> 00:32:56,433
causing the right trackto sink into the mud.
704
00:32:56,433 --> 00:32:57,893
‐ We are deeply.
705
00:33:00,812 --> 00:33:03,356
All right, hold it.
Rotate it right
706
00:33:03,356 --> 00:33:05,775
and then reverse
your left track.
707
00:33:09,404 --> 00:33:11,198
God, you're kidding me.
708
00:33:11,198 --> 00:33:12,657
Every move you make
709
00:33:12,657 --> 00:33:15,285
is putting that track
even lower in that hole.
710
00:33:15,285 --> 00:33:16,661
‐ I'm as far as I can go.
711
00:33:22,542 --> 00:33:25,170
‐ Now it's pouring rain
on us.
712
00:33:25,170 --> 00:33:28,089
If this machine tips over,
it will be catastrophic.
713
00:33:30,425 --> 00:33:32,969
Yeah,
we're in deep.
714
00:33:32,969 --> 00:33:34,721
‐ My goodness. Wow.
715
00:33:34,721 --> 00:33:36,181
‐ I'm getting
soaked.
716
00:33:37,766 --> 00:33:41,269
The biggest problem we've had
is how much rain we have here
717
00:33:41,269 --> 00:33:42,979
and how muddy it gets.
718
00:33:42,979 --> 00:33:45,106
Just everything about the
weather here at this mountain
719
00:33:45,106 --> 00:33:46,566
is our worst enemy.
720
00:33:46,566 --> 00:33:47,817
‐ I feel defeated.
721
00:33:54,366 --> 00:33:57,535
‐ As dawn breaksover Breach 6,
722
00:33:57,535 --> 00:34:00,288
Rick's found a new way to dig.
723
00:34:00,288 --> 00:34:02,874
He hopes to accessa line of possible metal,
724
00:34:02,874 --> 00:34:05,168
identifiedby NMR scans here,
725
00:34:05,168 --> 00:34:07,629
alignedjust below the surface.
726
00:34:09,256 --> 00:34:11,925
‐ How's that ground so far?
Is it holding up?
727
00:34:11,925 --> 00:34:15,220
‐ Using the excavator heredoesn't work,
728
00:34:15,220 --> 00:34:18,056
so Rick's come upwith a human solution.
729
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:20,350
‐ Nice job.
730
00:34:20,350 --> 00:34:22,435
‐ Got your studs right here,
man.
731
00:34:22,435 --> 00:34:25,981
‐ Rick's called in minersBrent Lister and John Farrell
732
00:34:25,981 --> 00:34:28,900
to build a reinforcedsteel shaft
733
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:30,652
that will safelyallow the team
734
00:34:30,652 --> 00:34:33,738
to access the metal targetsunder Breach 6.
735
00:34:35,782 --> 00:34:37,575
‐ The idea of what we're
doing here is
736
00:34:37,575 --> 00:34:39,661
we're gonna go in
with steel sets, dig a shift.
737
00:34:39,661 --> 00:34:42,122
These sets are gonna keep us
as safe as possible.
738
00:34:42,122 --> 00:34:44,249
There's no way
this job will be easy.
739
00:34:44,249 --> 00:34:45,792
From what I can see,
it's gonna be really soft clay.
740
00:34:45,792 --> 00:34:48,086
It's gonna be very hard
to hold that ground above us.
741
00:34:48,086 --> 00:34:50,588
As the deeper we go,
the more the danger will rise.
742
00:34:50,588 --> 00:34:52,257
You got a spot up there
where there's nothing?
743
00:34:57,429 --> 00:34:59,931
Well, first time in Breach 6.
We don't know what's down there.
744
00:34:59,931 --> 00:35:01,266
I mean,
that's what I'm here for‐‐
745
00:35:01,266 --> 00:35:02,767
to dig a big hole
746
00:35:02,767 --> 00:35:04,394
and figure out what's
down in the bottom of it.
747
00:35:04,394 --> 00:35:07,814
‐ As Brent and Farrellprepare the shaft,
748
00:35:07,814 --> 00:35:10,233
they find something unusual.
749
00:35:11,860 --> 00:35:13,778
‐ What is that?
750
00:35:13,778 --> 00:35:15,071
‐ What does it look like
to you?
751
00:35:15,071 --> 00:35:16,448
Does it look
like a big hard rock
752
00:35:16,448 --> 00:35:17,782
or a big hard chunk
of concrete?
753
00:35:19,034 --> 00:35:20,243
What do you think that is?
754
00:35:23,830 --> 00:35:25,540
‐ Like some Portland cement?
755
00:35:25,540 --> 00:35:27,584
‐ Well, like, all this might
be like Portland cement,
756
00:35:27,584 --> 00:35:29,336
but then this would be
like the small aggregate
757
00:35:29,336 --> 00:35:31,379
they would've used,
like, crushed rock.
758
00:35:31,379 --> 00:35:33,256
‐ Aggregate isthe filler material
759
00:35:33,256 --> 00:35:35,300
used when making concrete.
760
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:38,219
It typically consistsof small crushed rock,
761
00:35:38,219 --> 00:35:40,347
coral, or seashells.
762
00:35:40,347 --> 00:35:42,974
If it is aggregate,then that would indicate
763
00:35:42,974 --> 00:35:47,354
that the hard rock is,in fact, manmade concrete.
764
00:35:47,354 --> 00:35:49,147
‐ Dude, that's just weird
765
00:35:49,147 --> 00:35:50,565
how that rock's like that,
though.
766
00:35:50,565 --> 00:35:51,941
‐ But is it rock?
767
00:35:54,361 --> 00:35:55,904
‐ Hey, Rick, this is Brent.
You around?
768
00:35:55,904 --> 00:35:57,572
‐ Rick here.
769
00:35:57,572 --> 00:36:00,325
‐ Hey, Rick, we, we dug
down to something real hard.
770
00:36:00,325 --> 00:36:02,619
It's like a slab all the way
from wall to wall.
771
00:36:02,619 --> 00:36:04,162
‐ Whoa, whoa, whoa, Brent.
772
00:36:04,162 --> 00:36:05,789
Hold on, hold on.
773
00:36:07,165 --> 00:36:09,250
Let me get down thereand take a look at that thing
774
00:36:09,250 --> 00:36:10,960
before we start, banging on it.
775
00:36:12,253 --> 00:36:13,588
‐ This concrete slab,
776
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:14,881
you know, it worries me
a little bit.
777
00:36:14,881 --> 00:36:16,091
We don't know
what's underneath it.
778
00:36:23,515 --> 00:36:25,100
‐ Announcer:In the Philippine mountains...
779
00:36:27,018 --> 00:36:29,938
Rob and Michele returnto the excavator,
780
00:36:29,938 --> 00:36:31,940
hoping to dislodge itfrom the mud.
781
00:36:34,025 --> 00:36:35,193
‐ Rob: She's really in there.
782
00:36:36,361 --> 00:36:38,363
Let's get started.
783
00:36:38,363 --> 00:36:40,323
‐ We have to get it
out of this pit,
784
00:36:40,323 --> 00:36:41,908
or we don't stand a chance
785
00:36:41,908 --> 00:36:44,077
of getting
into that waterfall.
786
00:36:44,077 --> 00:36:45,787
I think our best bet is
gonna have to do this
787
00:36:45,787 --> 00:36:47,163
in little steps
788
00:36:47,163 --> 00:36:49,207
that tilt that way
but rides up.
789
00:36:49,207 --> 00:36:51,251
I don't see any other way
of doing it, really.
790
00:37:00,427 --> 00:37:02,178
Okay, Michele, behind you,
791
00:37:02,178 --> 00:37:04,347
you are, like, right on the edge
of this pile of dirt.
792
00:37:04,347 --> 00:37:05,557
You're really scaring me
right now.
793
00:37:07,058 --> 00:37:10,145
‐ I'm starting to wiggle
my way out of this mess.
794
00:37:11,896 --> 00:37:13,648
‐ Looking good. Keep moving.
795
00:37:14,733 --> 00:37:15,942
Come on.
796
00:37:18,069 --> 00:37:19,446
Right there is good.
797
00:37:19,446 --> 00:37:21,448
Ease up.
798
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,241
‐ Thank God.
799
00:37:23,241 --> 00:37:24,993
I didn't think we were ever
gonna get out of this mess,
800
00:37:24,993 --> 00:37:26,661
I'll tell you.
801
00:37:28,913 --> 00:37:31,916
‐ As Rob and Michele clawtheir way up the mountain...
802
00:37:33,126 --> 00:37:35,920
digging continuestowards the metal deposit
803
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,423
detected beneath Breach 6,
804
00:37:38,423 --> 00:37:39,758
where minersBrent and Farrell
805
00:37:39,758 --> 00:37:41,718
have madea puzzling discovery.
806
00:37:43,845 --> 00:37:46,097
‐ What is that?
807
00:37:46,097 --> 00:37:47,432
‐ What does it look like
to you?
808
00:37:47,432 --> 00:37:48,683
Does it look
like a big, hard rock
809
00:37:48,683 --> 00:37:50,310
or a big, hard chunk
of concrete?
810
00:37:50,310 --> 00:37:51,770
‐ Rick has come down
811
00:37:51,770 --> 00:37:53,563
to examinewhy the concrete is here
812
00:37:53,563 --> 00:37:55,607
and what it could mean.
813
00:37:55,607 --> 00:37:57,025
‐ I don't know what it is.
It is‐‐
814
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:58,651
It's wall‐to‐wall hard
all the way.
815
00:37:58,651 --> 00:38:00,153
‐ Could be
just like concrete.
816
00:38:00,153 --> 00:38:01,780
‐ It sure could, yeah.
817
00:38:01,780 --> 00:38:03,990
Well, we're looking down
at a possible cement slab
818
00:38:03,990 --> 00:38:06,284
in Breach 6.
819
00:38:06,284 --> 00:38:09,621
‐ Concrete is a signatureof Japanese army construction.
820
00:38:09,621 --> 00:38:11,414
On islands like Iwo Jima,
821
00:38:11,414 --> 00:38:14,626
the Japanese useda unique cement mix
822
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:16,628
to build an 11‐mile network
823
00:38:16,628 --> 00:38:18,004
of tunnelsand underground bunkers
824
00:38:18,004 --> 00:38:19,422
to protect them
825
00:38:19,422 --> 00:38:20,965
from the impendingAmerican invasion.
826
00:38:22,967 --> 00:38:25,678
The discoveryof similar concrete here
827
00:38:25,678 --> 00:38:27,472
could mean they are on track
828
00:38:27,472 --> 00:38:29,974
to intersecta Japanese tunnel.
829
00:38:30,975 --> 00:38:32,477
‐ All right.
Here goes nothing, man.
830
00:38:35,814 --> 00:38:38,149
‐ Rick: I am hoping
this is concrete.
831
00:38:38,149 --> 00:38:41,027
I've been listening
to these Bob Curtis tapes.
832
00:38:41,027 --> 00:38:42,987
In the shafts
Bob Curtis was digging,
833
00:38:42,987 --> 00:38:44,072
they found concrete.
834
00:39:03,424 --> 00:39:05,009
‐ It's pretty hard
right there.
835
00:39:05,009 --> 00:39:06,135
‐ Is it?
‐ Yeah, right here
836
00:39:06,135 --> 00:39:07,345
in this corner,
it's real hard.
837
00:39:08,847 --> 00:39:11,474
‐ Ultimately we're trying
to get to the treasure.
838
00:39:11,474 --> 00:39:13,184
Hopefully
this is the access point.
839
00:39:13,184 --> 00:39:15,687
Is this is concrete,
840
00:39:15,687 --> 00:39:18,147
it's a pretty good chance
it's a cap over a tunnel.
841
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:22,318
Right now I'm
the most excited I've been.
842
00:39:22,318 --> 00:39:23,611
I think we're the closest
843
00:39:23,611 --> 00:39:25,113
to finding another way
into the mountain.
844
00:39:27,907 --> 00:39:31,327
‐ On the next "Lost Goldof World War II"...
845
00:39:33,288 --> 00:39:34,747
‐ What is that?
846
00:39:34,747 --> 00:39:36,875
‐ It could possibly be
nitroglycerine.
847
00:39:36,875 --> 00:39:38,751
And it is highly,
highly volatile.
848
00:39:38,751 --> 00:39:40,461
You drop a rock on it,
it'll blow up.
849
00:39:40,461 --> 00:39:42,422
‐ If there's explosives
in this tunnel,
850
00:39:42,422 --> 00:39:44,549
this dog will find it.
851
00:39:44,549 --> 00:39:45,800
‐ 'Cause this thing
could be booby trapped
852
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,051
from the front to back,
853
00:39:47,051 --> 00:39:48,428
and y'all have just been
lucky so far.
854
00:39:48,428 --> 00:39:49,637
‐ Who's going?
855
00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:53,224
‐ So you're saying
he's brought you
856
00:39:53,224 --> 00:39:55,476
actual Yamashita
treasure maps.
857
00:39:55,476 --> 00:39:57,562
‐ It felt to me like he was
running for his life,
858
00:39:57,562 --> 00:39:58,980
that someone could kill him.
859
00:40:01,900 --> 00:40:03,526
‐ Rob: What's happening,
Michele?
860
00:40:05,111 --> 00:40:07,155
‐ I've run into bedrock.
861
00:40:07,155 --> 00:40:09,782
I can't dig any deeper.
862
00:40:09,782 --> 00:40:11,826
‐ If she's hitting bedrock
right now,
863
00:40:11,826 --> 00:40:12,911
we're not gonna get
through it this way.
864
