Movie Theater Lost WWII Gold

[Lowlight]

Last night was episode one of season two, looking for WWII Lost Gold in the Philippines,

They had a tunnel complex from the first season they ented with a remote-controlled vehicle. In the tunnel, they find an old knife they assume is from WWII

I immediately recognized it as a 1954 Air Force Survival knife and, so it was clearly explored after WWII, as well there was a gate with a modern lock close by they dug up when clearing the shaft entrance.

At one point the dude was admiring his knife and he started to cry thinking about all the Marines which might have lost this blade during battle. Unfortunately, he was a few years too late, and the wrong branch of service

The premise is good, the drama is over the top with the danger aspect and scary stories from secret societies. Do we really need artificial drama?

Stuff just like Curse of Oak Island. Fake drama. My older brother is addicted to Oak Island. I can't stand it.

I Like Oak Island

I think there is a very real potential this rewrites a tiny bit of NA History

The Gold in the PI is probably been looted years ago,

the problem with Oak Island is, the potential is too deep and the booby trap flood tunnels that far underground make it super hard to reach.

They are talking about tens of millions for digging next year because they believe they found the right location, but getting there means they have to chemically freeze the ground to prevent it from collapsing under their feet,

I watched all season and missed the finale. What did they find? Some coin I saw in the last 2 minutes, but what did it turn out to be?

The coin was an interesting sidebar,

When they got down to just over 200ft, the cans hit a big void, but the hammer grabs were only bringing up gravel. This was the same gravel they used to shore up the tiny 8" hole dug for H8 like 3 or 4 years ago.

Checking the spoils , Gary finds a new Canadian $2 piece from 200ft underground and is like, Damn new coin. But Marty is there and you can see him thinking about it and stops Gary and says, Let me see that,

Well, they show clips from the H8 season, and before closing the hole, Marty dropped that coin it. They said upfront lets see if it travels in the water down there. Well, it traveled 10ft from H8 to the new Hole.

So what they figure is, the void down deep has moved with the water, and the ground down there is sliding and shifting which is how they brought the coin from 3 years ago up. The nice part is, they filmed it and retrieved it, by accident.

I watched the ww2 gold marathon the other day. I’m hooked. Oak island baby. I’m ready to dig a big hole.

Quickest way to get there would be using ammonia as a refrigerant.
It be expensive to bring in the equipment to do the job, but going deep not so much.

You would be amazed at how quick the whole process is from start to finish.

The Big Dig in Boston used a lot of this tech there some pretty good article's on it if you're into that.

The big dig was also like 3 billion over budget.

Thanks for the ID on the knife. I knew what it wasn't but not what it was yet.

 

[gunsnjeeps]

It's on on demand. This season was slow. I think they lost time from the hurricane, I'd guess a week or two to rebuild the swamp road and a couple.of weeks of moving equipment after.

The perspective laid out on history from what is known in 1000 to the 1600's proposes there wasn't a 500 year gap between the Vikings and Post Columbian exploration. I'm not a believer in Templar/Mason world domination conspiracies but they do have a recorded history that can be compared to other dates and events.

There are some real stories that are better than fiction...

Operation Bernhard was one of them.



The 'real' Monuments Men. Amazing book. One of the men was my buddy Bernholz' Dad. Bernholz was a USBP guy whose first week on the job overlapped wtih the last week on the job with Bill Jordan... and he was USBP into the 2000's. His dad was one of the Monuments Men and is in the book (on the cover, in fact).



BTW, the movie by idiot George Clooney was just stupid. All he did was rip off the 5 - 8 best WW2 movies and stick the Monuments Men in the scenes that you all remember. Which was not needed. If he had any directing skill, he could have made an epic. But he is a lazy twat-waffle. And made a bad movie about an incredible subject.

Despite George Clooney's leftist retardness, there was a lot of art and treasure looted (stolen from teeth... to whole apartments) and probably mostly recovered at the end of WW2. With enough missing to create good conspiracies.



BTW, as this is SH Movie Theater, a really amazing movie to watch is "The Woman in Gold" (2015) about the Bloch-Bauer case that changed the whole stolen art scene. It's been fictionalized some, but the gist is there and it is a nail biter from beginning to end... even though there is little in the way of action.

Woman in Gold (film) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Melodrama-derived ersatz history is fun to watch(ish). But the reality of what went on during the war and in the post war period is better than anything reality TV show weenies can come up with. The books... and some documentaries and films... are better than the best fiction.

I like some lame-made-up escape as much as anyone. But the real stuff is so much better. It's just harder to find. And sometimes, harder to believe that the fact is cooler than the fiction!

Woman in Gold was pretty good. Thanks for saving me from Monuments Men. I'll have to get the book sometime.

To sum up the above shows; Oak Island, read the same Reader's Digest article 10 years later. Don't know if they will.find anything but watching. WW2 Gold, probably already gone. Civil War gold, not mentioned but same shows, doubt they find anything if it comes back.
