An officially sanctioned hunt for a stash of precious jewelry looted by the Nazis during World War II and purportedly buried in a sleepy Dutch village has — like many previous searches — failed to unearth any treasure.
Archeologists and historians called into the village of Ommeren, about 80 kilometers southeast of Amsterdam, pushed a detection device called a magnetometer along a row of fruit trees and across a field Monday morning and used a mechanical digger to excavate holes in the soggy soil.
“I think there’s minimal chance of finding anything. We dug three holes here of places where we could find through the magnetometer. There was a signal, and none of these holes have found the treasure,” said archeologist Martijn Bink. “So I think this is all what we’ll do. We won’t go any further.”hand-drawn map
“A lot of people came digging here ... without permission. Caused a lot of inconvenience for the residents,” said Pieter Neven of Buren municipality. She said the story started in the summer of 1944 in the Nazi-occupied city of Arnhem — made famous by the star-studded movie “A Bridge Too Far” — when a bomb smashed a bank vault, scattering gold, jewelry and cash across a street.
