Seriously, treasure hunters sounds just wrong. And after reading that website I can't stand their ego. 'Amateurs tried to dig this up but luckily they called us *cause we are all awesome*'
Anyways, I don't know what kind of treasure they are looking for but I sometimes go out with a friend searching for WW2 militaria, metal detector, spade and location of WW2 military encampments, depots, battles, etc. are all you need.
Yeah, I did notice that first part, too. Kind of a turn-off with prevailing a little bit of their arrogance, but they probably do have a little bit more knowledge and experience with the subject. Since the Japenese would commonly 'booby-trap' stuff, similar to pirates.
I also do the same, I'm an amateur treasure hunter and just go metal detecting and searching historical sites (with authorization) and see if I might find anything of intrest, havn't been too lucky so far. I'd love to search for WW2 equiptment, but Since I live in North America, there really is no places I can go, until I travel to Europe, Or the Pacific.
If I interpreted it correctly, It looks as if they are searching for actual War Treasure, such as stolen gold and other valuables from China when they invaded and stole such goods. Kind of like the SS gold, I assume.
@ Desertfox, Yeah, there are a couple nice Japenese planes, but ultimately I would prefer any American Plane over a Jap one...
