In one of our previous projects, we have uncovered some antiques wherein we believed that they were markers used by the JIA (Japanese Imperial Army) as clues to their hidden treasure deposit.

As you can see in the image below, we found three different types of antique objects. We uncovered them at different depths in our dig site.

Kulintang

Based on my research, I came to know that these two similar objects with lumps on their top portion are pieces of an old musical instrument known as “Kulintang”. Kulintang usually has a total of 5 to 9 pieces but we currently uncovered only two pieces of them.

Someone had suggested to me that I should elaborate more about my story regarding our excavations in uncovering the hidden Yamashita Treasures.

While on my vacation, my fellow treasure hunters in the Philippines contacted me about an interesting discovery which is a unique and antique “Wooden Lucky Travelling Buddha”. Of course, they don’t know anything about the Buddha until I told them that it was a lucky Buddha used by most Feng Shui experts to attract positive chi energy. For those who knows nothing about Feng Shui, this Buddha is known to bring “good blessings”.
