Excellent stuff, Chad. I have my imagination running again as to what had happened on the hills at the back of my house. Thanks.

Some of the relics are just laying around covered with dried growth, but most were just buried not deeper than 6 inches. Close-ups of some of the articles follows: PB05 by sherwino, on Flickr Cigarette lighter. PB14 by sherwino, on Flickr It reads "US ARMY" PB15 by sherwino, on Flickr PB13 by sherwino, on Flickr a lot of these USMC buttons were retrieved. PB16 by sherwino, on Flickr another puzzle for me. Was this the end of a wrench handle or the end of a laddle? It has some numbers, and "U.S." could be on the left.

Wow. Great story. The youtube clip was too short for an interesting voyage. Is there a movie for that real story? I could swap other errands with a WWII movie during a summer afternoon. Thanks for the share, Patty.

That's a heel of a shoe/boots with nails in it, Vic.

Last Friday, Bob Hudson, Tony and I went to another relic hunt. We were digging up a lot of relics that we're thinking that the place may have been a camp. Our finds for that day only (please excuse my phone and my dog): PB01 by sherwino, on Flickr I have pinpointed the location using wikimapia but I'm using Dmether's map from this thread corregidor.proboards.com/thread/1146/tagumpay-hillThe location of is aproximately on E-60(with SL below the square), right above E-60 C.P. Map-dmthr by sherwino, on Flickr I'm wondering what those places were? Among our finds are USMC buttons, buttons from Philippine units, and an US Army button.

I'm responsible for that wikimapia stuff. I saw a spent aircraft drop-tank on Lusong beach next to that point a few years ago. It was cut off on top and outriggers were attached to it, they fashioned it like a boat. I forgot to take a picture of that tank. It was made of fiberglass-like stuff. I don't know if it's from the downed Japanese plane near that point. I just read from a book and on the internet about a Japanese plane downed by the Battery C near that point. I have never returned to Lusong to further up my research.

A little OT. Fortune, the guy's holding some info from me. Somebody wants to buy the house for a price because of the alleged tank underneath. CB, I used to think that there were almost nothing to find in Mariveles because a lot were retrieved from several years ago, bombs, bullets, guns, boxes of ammunitions, trucks, etc. Scrappers, treasure-hunters, ordinary men and collectors, from low-lying lands to hills. But I was surprised how plenty are the finds and the other stuff lost to the thieves from our friend. I was with Bob, and we're planning to get back for more. Back to the topic: Reading from the letter of Vic's friend sure brings out the excitement in me. There's more to find.

I remember someone told me last year that they found a WWII tank buried underneath somebody else's house in Bataan. He didn't spill the beans, no matter how I persuade him, with regards to its location. Perhaps, the story is true.

Positive...the thing at the right end is its lock. It's a part of a balisong. Two of that thing and a blade at the left. Butterfly knife is the other term of it.

Looks Navy. Weren't the Marines attached to the Navy?
