Whoever chose the location is unimportant. This only means the "treasure" was not already buried on the site. Anyway, it is clear from the videos that the Mineoro people were very active during the excavation, and could easily have slipped the "treasure" into the hole. You don't even have to be very skilled at sleight-of-hand to fool the expectant onlookers. Everyone is already primed to discover the gold target by the beeping of the device. The more tricky the recovery, the more opportunity there is to transfer the "treasure" from your pocket (or handbag) into the soil.
Although it is not obvious from the video that there is anything untoward going on, this should not be a surprise. It's just the same as watching a simple magic trick.
