If there was any gold left behind, it is long gone by now.

Where would they have looted the gold from? Surely if there was any valuables in the area, the Europeans would have taken it back with them

when did Japanese have gold during the time of war... they got it from someone else as well just like the Spanish... if there was I'm sure someone has put their hands on them already....
