He travelled out to Burma earlier in the year with his own team to survey the "evidence" before committing money to this project. Could their own investigations in Burma convinced them that this is pie in the sky?
2) The "Geophysical survey" was conducted by a grad student with a powerful metal detector not the ground penetrating radar that had "revealed the outlines of crates" according to Mr. Cundell's earlier statements when this story broke.
3) They hit some wood with their digger but decided not to investigate what the wood was or what was beneath it!!? Come on......after fifteen years and tens of thousands of pounds and a search that has taken over this guy's life they decide to cover it up before having a peek!!!
That seems to fly in the face of human nature to me but we shall see.

Yes, that last part of the story about finding the "crate" yet not opening it has shades of the Oak Island "money pit" malarkey.
