it was not actually found by me but my buddy. we were diving with a group down south of the Philippines and the viz was very good. my buddy found a small treasure chest filled with coins. he called my attention and he was very excited. we thought what we saw were old and rare coins so we helped each other get the coins because the chest was already damaged. when we went up, we showed it to the local guide. it turned out that they were placed there a month ago by a group of tourists who had a sort of contest on treasure hunting. the coins had no value.
