The Last Shogun's Buried Fortune: The Quest For Tokugawa's Treasure | Myth Hunters

[@tastytears2008]

About to lock in for 49 minutes of pure excitement, well knowing that they don't find shit in the end.

[@fredreeves7652]

The digs of the 1990s were straight up stupid for one reason: No one considered the digging prowess the original treasure buriers had at their disposal at the time. The point of hiding stolen loot is to hide it to be found later... not bury it. So, what, we're talking 10-20 feet max? The consideration or premise to dig anywhere more than 25' was ludacris on its face given the time period the treasure was originally buried. : (

[@koltoncrane3099]

Well some videos say the Spaniards actually dig bury their gold depositories super deep deeper then 25 feet but they also had dozens or hundred men and story maybe tons of gold. But ya if the guy was by himself or had a dozen men and was on the run it makes no sense to bury it way deep. That and if the shogungold was only some coins then it wasn’t a vast amount of gold like Spanish pack trains may have had that would warrant way more protection.

[@joshschneider9766]

ludacris is a musician. ludicrous is a word.

[@ArtFreeman]

This reminds me of the Oak Island search for treasure.

[@KurtOnoIR]

To me it seems it would have to be around that temple somewhere. Too many people seem to have known about it at the time tho. All it takes is one to not be around when the emperor's men rounded them up. An intriguing story tho. If I was in Japan I'd want to look for it. Starting around that temple putting myself in thier shoes at the time. If there's no maps that's all you could do. It could be anywhere between its original location and the temple. Ah sucks to be stuck in Illinois. We have like zero treasures here.

[@hughjunit2503]

Google buried treasures near where you live. Youll be suprised

[@koltoncrane3099]

Kurt Illinois has lost Native American silver mines. There’s a descendant of a tribe that moved back to work in Chicago or some place and does videos on treasure stories etc that his family told him. Illinois dark silver stories or something

[@alanle1471]

Very unlikely that their was treasure. To move so much gold so quickly up such dangerous terrain and keeping it secret sounds stupendous.

[@OLDMANTEA]

5:52 good that Oguri Tadamasa made time in his busy schedule to be on the show

[@jimpinetree2531]

Edo shogunate does not use “coins’, they used small gold plates called Koban, and measured in ryo.

[@lianefehrle9921]

When he sent them those few coins and said this is all the money I have, he was telling the truth.

[@dylanho8608]

Oak Island Japan version

[@lynnloww]

lol oh nooooo never ending series lol

[@briank.3539]

I was thinking of the same thing. A forever dig!

[@kellygroves5213]

Why would the shogun "retire to the country" and not take his fortune with him? Sounds like misdirection to me. 😂

[@seitch1]

This is like a Japanese version of Oak Island. Every episode ends in a new clue and potential breakthrough.

[@Goldennature4886]

The legend is real,only few not our generation to decipher the code of hidden treasure of Shugon.

[@Romulus70]

Incercati va rog frumos sa subtitrati si in limba Romana ! Aveti postari interesante si vreau sa vad toate documentarele dvs.

[@amandajabori6794]

More than likely someone got it a long time ago and never went public with it bc it wouldn't have been smart to ooorrrr he was fake rich and was actually broke.

[@branimalcrossingneweed]

It will be In private collections

[@seanbailey7349]

You mean to tell me National Treasure was actually a documentary based on Japanese history?

[@teamceline9712]

Frankly, if Meiji seriously thought that the Tokugawas or any of their people had hid millions of gold coins, he probably would have had them killed, rather than elevate them to royalty and marry his kids and grandkids off to them 🤦‍♀️This whole situation is snakeoil the whole way

[@missionpassed4584]

If there was someone on the run with à huge wealth of gold that weighed alot then had to hide it, they would not have the time of the resources to bury it as deep as the treasure hunters did, also you would need to keep it close enough to access and also easy enough to access incase you had to move it time and time again.

[@UNO400]

Dude, it is not buried more than 3 meters deep.

[@jamesgratton6516]

When it was first buried yes, time could add a few ft

[@koltoncrane3099]

Maybe a landslide happened, but when they said they dug 250 feet deep I was like damn. Probably unlikely they dug that deep originally.

[@cadderley100]

If it were that easy eh? If that was the case, don't you think everybody in Japan would be after it?

[@Major_Pipps]

Bad luck doesn't even begin to describe how three generations, over a hundred years of digging... And you don't accidentally discover something of real value, even a treasure unrelated 😂

[@Elfan4]

As if the samurai would bury a treasure... Hide it, perhaps, but bury it no way

[@phoebusapollo4677]

I found it! It’s only a few wooden boxes of gold and papers.

[@MrWeAllAreOne]

Great doc.

[@littledoc4741]

The One Pice is REAL !!

[@daveleslie2523]

So there are electric lights and conduit on the roof in the treasure?

[@khillsy4489]

Every civilization has these legends of buried gold and treasure. Silly.

[@COSMOKRAT_616]

Should have named this video "the Japanese oak island"

[@buzz5969]

10:50 sold his homey Oguri out just like that. Wheres The money?, I dont know perhaps you should ask our Finance Honcho, Oguri…😅😂😅😂

[@kickinghorse2405]

Great video!!!! And . . . I'm a little "lol'd" (if I may bend the term) that at min 10:33 there is clearly electricity in use well before late 19th century England and America. Go Japan! 😅

[@KHH595]

When they opened their doors to Europeans we built them trains and provided them with electricity.

[@kenmay1572]

If they needed a JCB to find it they would have needed a JCB to bury it, but they had yet to be invented

[@99sentcoins]

Oak Island, anyone ? 😂

[@xalee7947]

If it is not your don't distributor, it can cause you your life.

[@koltoncrane3099]

I don’t know why the video says the tv series give me A break said they used 12 cranes. Why on earth would they use cranes? What did they lift? The video showed excavators which makes sense because they moved dirt. Does the video mean excavators are Cranes???

[@emmitstewart1921]

It looks like the pits they were digging were so deep that they had to use cranes to lift the dirt out. Totally ridiculous. How could a samurai and a handful of retainers possibly dig so deep in the couple of months before the emperor's soldiers caught up with them and slaughtered them all.

[@siphotheguy1870]

I thought this video was going to be about a gun show

[@RickHenkle]

LOL, the curse of oak island!!

[@richardirmler435]

It's in the boot of my Nissan.

[@yourforgivenrepent]

Seems like it would be near a landmark. Not in the middle of nowhere.

[@thelabent1]

200 feet down. So they had 1000 people working with them to bury this gold. I mean, that is just common sense. It’s not gonna be that deep in the ground.

[@madaro504]

maybe the real treasure was the friends they made along the way?

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lynnloww]

😂😂😂

[@lynnloww]

Don’t tell me this was suppose to be some philosophical search .. where treasure isn’t anything physical as in gold… being rich is your quality of life type nonsense lol. I’d be pisssedddd if so. 😂😂😂

[@NZ_CHB_4200]

😒bruh😂

[@OLDMANTEA]

Confucius says: “Go stand in the corner…”

[@RicardoMartinez-zh4qp]

Again a good metal detector will work wonders

[@tonyaxeman4381]

This seems like Oak island . So is there really a treasure there ?

[@bird2114]

Sounds like oak island

[@koltoncrane3099]

Except Oak island has made people rich by producing long long tv series haha

[@Goldennature4886]

When you're in the nearest part of treasure, chaos confused occur is that magic? I believed shugon treasure is not buried it's hidden in secret Cave. The scene was in hurry no time to dig.🌺💪👀

[@jimgoodman1845]

Asian Gold Fever 👍

[@rodhart9163]

My thoughts 🤔. Why did the shogun who had all the weath just roll over so easy. Not a hint of losing his power. And japenese honour would have him die. But if the shogun took all the money and the official was a false lead did anyone ever chase up the old shogun. He had the time and means and why would he just leave that money after being dumped. I reckon look into the shogun. But also if the emperor did not find the money why quickly kill the only ones who knew where it was ??? They caught them alive but why kill them unless they knew where the money was.

[@RicardoMartinez-zh4qp]

Buy a decent metal detector

[@carstenr7978]

They had days to hide the gold snot years. So dogging so deep is just silly.

[@wallypagayanan4555]

Majoriry of treasure hunters went broke 😅😅😊

[@jessestanley1690]

Japans oak island

[@Swine-O-Sonic]

Its oak Island!! Lmao 😂

What a load of rubbish

[@Oldsmobile69]

Lol the "recreations" are laughably low budget and bad :DDDD

[@lynnloww]

Hey u gotta start somewhere

[@fredginger1969]

If you had any credibility you wouldn't buy antiques and bury them on a dig site. Where is the archaeologists to record and preserve the artefacts who can substantiate them as genuine? Most graves are six feet deep. You wouldn't bury it fifty feet deep. You could bury it in a cave or an existing mine shaft One bloke with say 10 retainers wouldn't be able to bury the gold under hundreds of tons of dirt. Why are they not asking for metal detectors or those archaeology tools that show hidden caverns or chambers under the soil rather than giving him 10 cranes and excavators? This was a TV executive out to dig a big hole to keep ratings up. Complete waste of the hunters lives!

[@lynnloww]

Uhhh metal detectors didn’t exist until 1960s hon.
