Nazi treasure hunt called off after digs fail to find buried gold

Dutch News  

The search for buried Nazi treasure near Ommeren in Gelderland has been called off following authorised digs in the last of the likely places around the Betuwe village. A map, made public by the National Archive in January and purportedly showing where German soldiers buried four boxes filled with jewellery and other valuables, had started a digging frenzy in the Ommeren area. To limit the number of treasure hunters, the local authorities had authorised a number of digs based on the interpretation of the map by local historians and the help of researchers from the VU university in Amsterdam. An earlier search, in 1947, also came to nothing and it is thought the treasure, said to be worth millions, was dug up before the war ended.
