Possible German treasure

Saw this story:

I don't know what kind of scan they did, but it sure would be neat if the metal was actually a Luftwaffe aircraft, rather than gold or silver. Especially since the coordinates came from the notebook of a Luftwaffe radio operator.

Looks like they are updating the story with the same link...it now says water shot up through a hole they drilled.....

Love the optimism. "the process could take several days". Probably quite a bit longer than that.

Sorry, I don't believe the TIGHAR folks are involved with this venture.





But what if they were????

Der Wonderbra ist wunderbar!

... but at least go with something period correct.



I was going to find something else witty to post here, but I found the Agent Provocateur website and I have lost all train of thought...

I worry about you folks!
You are so quick to post a magazine add, often from many years ago, of women in their undies.
I don't want to know what else lurks on your hard drive.
Now back to knocking out rivet tails.

You can find darn near anything on Google. And alot that you'd never want to find.

As I know most of their treasure are in the safe in Swiss banks. Most of their private treasure are intact...

She looks preety correct to me , Chad !, and Rich, I've been riveted to tails before, a lot of us have...just ask Eric !

Unless there are no living witnesses to the act, I firmly believe that if anything worth anything to anyone is buried or otherwise hidden "out there" somewhere, it will be soon dug-up/uncovered by someone who gets wind of it.

There are of course exceptions, but a large stash of gold and silver would be hard to resist to anyone who got wind of it.

Having said that I am very interested to see what comes out of this!

P.S. not sure if the "amber room" is down there, though. It seems pretty certain that the Russians salvaged it from the Wilhelm Gustloff, and it is indeed the original that is currently on display. At least that's what I saw on tv, so it must be true

I thought it was a German made replica?
The Wilhelm Gustloff is a maritime wargrave, infact probably the biggest from WW2

There was a decent documentary about this released a year or two ago.
