    The digs of the 1990s were straight up stupid for one reason:
    No one considered the digging prowess the original treasure buriers had at their disposal at the time. The point of hiding stolen loot is to hide it to be found later... not bury it. So, what, we're talking 10-20 feet max? The consideration or premise to dig anywhere more than 25' was ludacris on its face given the time period the treasure was originally buried.

      Well some videos say the Spaniards actually dig bury their gold depositories super deep deeper then 25 feet but they also had dozens or hundred men and story maybe tons of gold.
      But ya if the guy was by himself or had a dozen men and was on the run it makes no sense to bury it way deep. That and if the shogungold was only some coins then it wasn’t a vast amount of gold like Spanish pack trains may have had that would warrant way more protection.

      Maybe a landslide happened, but when they said they dug 250 feet deep I was like damn. Probably unlikely they dug that deep originally.

    To me it seems it would have to be around that temple somewhere. Too many people seem to have known about it at the time tho. All it takes is one to not be around when the emperor's men rounded them up. An intriguing story tho. If I was in Japan I'd want to look for it. Starting around that temple putting myself in thier shoes at the time. If there's no maps that's all you could do. It could be anywhere between its original location and the temple. Ah sucks to be stuck in Illinois. We have like zero treasures here.

      Illinois has lost Native American silver mines. There’s a descendant of a tribe that moved back to work in Chicago or some place and does videos on treasure stories etc that his family told him. Illinois dark silver stories or something

    Frankly, if Meiji seriously thought that the Tokugawas or any of their people had hid millions of gold coins, he probably would have had them killed, rather than elevate them to royalty and marry his kids and grandkids off to them 🤦‍♀️This whole situation is snakeoil the whole way

    I don’t know why the video says the tv series give me
    A break said they used 12 cranes. Why on earth would they use cranes? What did they lift? The video showed excavators which makes sense because they moved dirt. Does the video mean excavators are
    Cranes???

    • @emmitstewart1921
      @emmitstewart1921 20 днів тому +1

      It looks like the pits they were digging were so deep that they had to use cranes to lift the dirt out. Totally ridiculous. How could a samurai and a handful of retainers possibly dig so deep in the couple of months before the emperor's soldiers caught up with them and slaughtered them all.

    If you had any credibility you wouldn't buy antiques and bury them on a dig site. Where is the archaeologists to record and preserve the artefacts who can substantiate them as genuine? Most graves are six feet deep. You wouldn't bury it fifty feet deep. You could bury it in a cave or an existing mine shaft One bloke with say 10 retainers wouldn't be able to bury the gold under hundreds of tons of dirt. Why are they not asking for metal detectors or those archaeology tools that show hidden caverns or chambers under the soil rather than giving him 10 cranes and excavators? This was a TV executive out to dig a big hole to keep ratings up. Complete waste of the hunters lives!
