Everything about this series is silly or ridiculous. That being said, it's entertaining. A few of the silly things: 1)They based the entire search so far on wild stories that 'Grandpa' tells them. Grandpa is an old guy who claims to be a witness to everything they ask him about. Oddly enough, he would have been a very very young child when this all happened. He supposedly owned a pack animal that the Japanese army used at night. Sure, they asked the locals "can we borrow this a few nights a week", right? And, he watched another local local get his head chopped off by them and still played around them and heard what they were saying. Remember, THE JAPANESE SOLDIERS SPOKE JAPANESE. I'm pretty sure a pre-teen Filipino boy was fluent in the Japanese language. On to the search. They find a previously dug tunnel and put a video camera down it. They find a broken bottle at the bottom. "That's Amazing! It must be a broken poison bottle. The Japanese army often rigged poison bottles to kill treasure hunters. OR, maybe one of the previous treasure hunters tossed an empty pop bottle down the hole. Basically, we have an elderly local who's become a local legend by telling foreigners wild stories. And, realistically, after 5 minutes of online research. The treasure was found and stolen by a former ruling family there (The Marcos regime). And, it was worth billions. It's been disclosed in court records there. Research shows they stole between $5-10 Billions Dollars and most of it was hidden in overseas banks and never recovered. I'll keep watching though. I'm easily entertained.

I feel like they build suspense when they know the outcome is null and dull. However, if what they actually found is in fact an unsearched Yamashita treasure cache, I don't see how anyone could rate this show less than a 9.

I really don't like the cliffhanger at the end of the season, but if they actually found what they were looking for, the wait is worth it. If what they found isn't what they're looking for, well, then they really shouldn't have taken us on for such a long ride. If they found what they're looking for, this show is nothing short of incredible, and will be right up there with the other great treasure shows, like Cooper's Treasure and Oak Island. We'll see!

Straight to the point, they found the lost tunnel in the middle of a dragon fruit farm. Meaning the tunnel is not a lost tunnel because locals already explored that tunnel because it is right in the middle of a dragon fruit plantation. I give this 2 stars because the editing made me believe they are going to find something we didn't already know. what a waste of time.

Is the finding of Al Capone's empty tomb but they don't even get that far they blab and blab and blab and recap Enrique when we were finally they get to a tunnel then they say that's it the end these losers couldn't find gold in the middle of Fort Knox

The idea is a great one, looking for lost treasure! The show is based around historical facts and does well to reel you in early on, I watched on loosely but was soon hooked on finding out whether or not they'll find a way into the mountain that they're certain contains treasure. Over the first few episodes you feel the frustration of the crew as they hit dead end after dead end looking for entrances and tunnels but getting nowhere, although as series one goes on you quickly pick up the feeling that none of them really know what they're doing or what they're talking about, even their expert who claims to have decades of experience has a 'winging it' air about him. Sadly any frustrations they seem to have through the series become dwarfed by your frustration as in the dying minutes of the end of the last episode (series 1, ep 7) the crew find an entrance and the credits roll - you're shown no investigation, no hunt now they're clearly on the right path, nothing.

Everything that's spread out over the seven episodes could have been done just as respectfully and informatively over two or three and the last episode is a bigger anticlimax than a Christmas if nobody turned up.

Despite all the recapping in each episode and it big repetitive in places I'd have given it 6 or 7 stars as it's been an interesting way to pass the time, but it all builds up to such an anticlimactic ending that the whole series feels like a huge waste of time.

From episode this show could have been wrapped up in 4 episodes if they didn't spend so long showing recaps. The most exciting part of the whole show was the hurricane. Long, drawn-out American rubbish.

It is all scripted, fake and made with.actors. They don't care or mind if there is a treasure or not. It is all about the editing afterwards to make it "exiting". History.channel only cares for advertisement dollars. Ultimatlley History Channel will die due to thiw nonsense programs. But they son't even care for that too. They made there money and their off. Everybody wins. That is what "History" channel is about.
