  Does the article say the name of the town? It gives me a database error when I try to open the link. Am dutch myself and am curious
context: The Dutch have had these records for 75 years and sealed. That's enough time to dig up all the treasure and then release the maps to everyone else lol >
  
  And that's about the summary of it all. >
  
  Thats what they want you to think..... >
  
  Someone call Tom Hanks. Tell him we finally found the grail. >
  
  I would watch an Angels & Demons/Raiders of the Lost Arc crossover >
  
  Toss some National Treasure in there and we've got a stew cooking! >
  
  IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA >
  
  Don't forget the Monuments Men. >
  
  Don't forget the Goonies! >
  
  Don’t forget Neal and Mozzie! >
  
  Sounds like someone is trying to keep the treasure for themselves >
  
  Yes, right under their azaleas. >
  
  They've probably already dug it up a very long time ago. Those guys are just desperate for any lead. They should just buy metal detectors and go for a stroll on the beach haha >
  
  well problem is, if people dont find anything, they dont stop. Look a Oak island. >
  
  To be slightly contrarian, while I do think the people lusting over Oak Island are a bit insane, they did generally find some pretty strange (albeit small) things. I think there is value to studying its history, though hoping for a multimillion payout seems beyond absurd and costs likely far exceed any tangible gains. Notably one of the main leaders cares more about the story of people than whatever physical treasure may or may not be there. >
  
  Eh, they really didn't find much.  Best explanation I have heard is that it was a sinkhole that crap got washed into, tand the rest was hype.  Notice how noone actually has any of the compelling evidence? It's all been lost or whatever. >
  
  I bet there's a fair bit of confirmation bias also going into it. Like, some random soil discoloration? Oh yeah, certainly looks like someone threw dirt in here in a very specific way! Oh, the bits of wood we found? Definitely a neat row of logs put there by humans! No, we don't have those logs anymore, why'd you ask?
  Like, especially since there's a reality show connected to it and all parties involved stand to gain from making it look as interesting and promising as possible, I wouldn't take their word for it, or even unconditionally believe video footage. >
  
  I mean, they don't even know where the original hole was anymore the place has been dug up so much. >
  
  Yeah, wouldn't trust any claims about finding anything of archaeological value that's not directly corroborated by archaeologists.
  I bet if they did it proper academically, digging measured trenches, making notes of soil composition and colouration, noting all the bits of plant matter or hard material they found along the way, they would've been able to find the original hole, determined that no one did anything of note on the island before the first treasure hunters came, and be done with it by now.
  But that wouldn't be very good tv now, would it? >
  
  Well the problem is half the goddamn island has been excavated, filled in, blown up or God knows what for the past 100 years.  It's like digging on a ww1 battlefield trying to find an original root cellar or something. >
  
  It was from a bombed bank in Arnhem in 1944. Some soldiers took it and burried it. In it were some jewels, watches and stuff. Most comon theory is that, either the Germans dug it up shortly after or some Dutch People. Most treasure hunters are looking for it on private property, wich is off course illegal. I live near that village. >
  
  Can't really blame anyone for not wanting crazy people digging up their lawns >
  
  I have bark scorpions and rattle snakes. Best of luck to someone jacking around in my yard in the middle of the night.  I don’t even want to be in it. >
  
  I can top you on that one bud. One half of my property has a mating pair of swans, and two mating pairs of geese. Plus a few angry ducks that think they are tiny geese. The only people they don't mind are me and my wife, and the emu.  
  Then you have the other side of my property. 
  I have two rescued Rhea, mating pair, that are very territorial on the other side of my property. I don't even go on that side of the property unless I have to. The only thing allowed over there is the emu and one of the cats, they fear the little voidling but despise the orange slob.
  You have to be very brave, very dumb, or an emu which is somewhere in that mix, to trespass on my lawn. >
  
  I love this, I would never question an emu >
  
  He is Emma the Emu, neice picked the name she said Emma is a strong name for a boy not gonna argue with her. We got him because someone just dropped him off at a local animal shelter at about 2 weeks old. The literally left him in a dog kennel outside the door in winter, people piss me off. A friend of mine there knew I had Rhea's and figured an emu can't be that different so asked me if I wanted an emu. I'm not gonna say no to that, I might say no to an ostrich but only after some serious planning and realizing I can't take care of an ostrich. 
  Yeah he is a big shaggy boy that does whatever he wants, he is very curious and gets along with pretty much everything. He made friends with the migrating Canadian geese, ive seen him inspecting local wild birds and they don't mind him. He is terrified of gophers though ive noticed. He gets curious and inspects what's happening, then after sitting there still for a while the gopher goes back to work scaring the shit out him and then you see a panicked emu running around the yard. It's hilarious. >
  
  My family owns an ostrich farm that at any time is raising like 150 ostrich. You do not want one of these animals as a pet.  Females are sometimes docile as long as they aren't mating but both genders can slice your jugular in the blink of an eye or just kick the shit out of you. >
  
  Indiana Jones put on the no flight list. >
  
  Again. >
  
  lol I thought that was a reference to him impersonating flight crew and attempted murder of a government official in The Last Crusade.
  (Or bringing a loaded weapon as a carry-on in Raiders.) >
  
  I thought it was going to be the time he landed on a taxiway. I was still surprised. >
  
  When talking about Indiana Jones, one never knows where it will end up. >
  
  Background info, the map wasnt recently discovered but was considered confidential and kept in an archive for decades. It has recently been released to the public hence the commotion. 
  But if the map were to be real youd think someone wouldve gotten the map back sometime right after the war >
  
  Done and dusted, whatever there makes the map irrelevant now I'd imagine >
  
  Maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way.
  Or jewels and WW2 money. >
  
  Metal detector $500, shovel $30
  Opening inter-dimensional Nazi portal to hell: 
  Priceless. >
  
  Do you want Wolfenstein? Cause that's how you get Wolfenstein! >
  
  Mein leben! >
  
  And now imagine some German soldier drew the map back during the war entirely for them lulz, planted it somewhere and made sure the story is widely spread. >
  
  I mean, let's imagine this to be real. So there's a German who hid it and he knew where he hid it. He doesn't know a map. He knows where he dug it up. So... Why shouldn't he just go back there and get it once the war is over? As far as I know, he survived the war.
  And even if he didn't. He made the map, so other people saw it too. So maybe they did get it. Or locals that watched him. Or some folks who had to work there.
  So if there's been a thing, it's likely gone for a long time. >
  
  I think posting this on reddit, will definitely minimize the number of people trying to get to the treasure  lol >
  
  I diggit. >
  
  Blast from the past >
  
  blast from the further past...
  In Soviet Russia, treasure hunt you.... >
  
  Finally a new uncharted game >
  
  Does this mean they're bringing back the Incan Cursed Mutant Nazi zombies?
