[Milsurplus] Buried Spitfires.

[Hubert Miller]

Yes – wonderful stories. File along with “Yamashita’s Gold”, “Lost Dutchman Mine”, “buried Nazi treasure train in Poland”, and so on and so on.
At sea, people do have good history to back them up, and they do recover loot.
Digging on land per rumors, not so much.
People in Europe do turn up, for example, stashes of Roman coins, but they’re random finds.

>I'll bet huge odds against those allegedly buried NIB Burma Spitfires ever being recovered.

Nobody would love the rumor to true more than I would, but those buried NIB Spits are a myth in my opinion. There is something about buried treasure stories that make folks irrationally optimistic. Witness Oak Island. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_Island_mystery

Now about those crated NIB ARR 41 receivers buried in the mudflats at Alameda NAS.  I've found several old salts who, after a few drinks, told compelling eyewitness accounts. Let's start digging. ;)
