WWII Military Relics Buried, Lost and Found

This treasure hunt started while flying at 30,000 feet over the Midwest. At that time, I worked as a flight crew member and had a conversation with Bill, a friend and colleague, about treasure hunting for Spanish gold around Florida; then I mentioned military relics and his eyes opened wide as he became excited and, remembering, related this story.
Bill said a few years ago he was talking to John, an older man he knew and met occasionally in the city of Venice, Florida, which used to be called Horse and Chaise.
In 1888 it was changed to Venice.
John worked at the Venice Army Air Base during WWII, which had been established in 1941 and was used as a flight-training base.
