@ThirstenHowel3 Thanks Thirsten. I haven't been back to those exact upper caves yet but I have found and explored so many others. I'm sure I will be back there someday.
I just wanted to express my appreciation for your hard work so we can see your great finds! I am an amateur explorer of Japanese WWII sites and speak, read and write Japanese having lived & worked in Japan (I am originally from California) for over 15 years. My wife is Filipina & we just relocated back to Manila to our main residence. I am in the midst of acquiring a metal detector & will be making some explorations in the hills above my wife's hometown of Lingayen. Will upload my results.
@007007070707 Hi 007. Thanks for the compliments. I enjoy making these videos and glad that you like them. I know little about exploring the jungles of the PI but I know a metal detector would not work in Saipan. The ground here is covered in shrapnel, bullets, and bombs. I look forward to seeing your videos.
Hi Eric,,some great finds in your latests couple of videos.If you excuse my ignorance with this question but,,,are there any legal or religious reasons why the skeletons are just left in situ?It just seems so strange to see what Im presuming are live hand grenades just lying around in the public domain.Ive visited many ww2 sites all over europe and apart from acknowledgement signs to the brave soilders there isnt anything that you would consider dangerous .Anyway great exploring many thanks.
@urchin76 Thanks Urchin76. The Japanese still return to collect bones but considering the large numbers, over 50,000 died in 3 weeks, bones are still everywhere. The Americans also still return to detonate WWII ordnance but again considering the large numbers, hundreds of thousands of tons, ordnance is still everywhere as well.
have you ever found a skull?
