  Nicholas Cage to steal the map and find the treasure. 
  Yeah, I've been watching the new series on Disney+.
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? >
  
  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 >
  
  Ommeren. Here's the text:
  British treasure hunters have been warned to stay away from a village in the Netherlands, where they dug through gardens and public land in search of Nazi-looted riches.
  Fifteen people received a police warning and 100, including Britons, were found with a shovel searching for World War II treasure in Ommeren, a village in the province of Gelderland.
  Treasure hunters began the search after the Dutch National Archives released hundreds of documents after 75 years under the Official Secrets Act.
  They included a government file on the Nazi treasure and a hand-drawn map, with an X marked between Ommeren and Lienden.
  Maps leading to a possible Nazi treasure in Ommeren are seen during the National Archives’ annual open access day in The Hague, the Netherlands, January 3, 2023

  According to Dutch media, the map was designed by Helmut Sonder, a furniture maker from Baden-Baden. He was in a German parachute regiment near the front line during Operation Market Garden in September 1944.
  He said his brigade had buried necklaces, watches, precious jewelry and cash, stolen during the Battle of Arnhem in the Netherlands in 1944, by a poplar tree by the side of the road.
  These objects were looted by German occupying forces during the war, inspiring several films, including Raiders of the Lost Ark.
  “It’s like a children’s book,” said Annet Waalkens, freedom of information adviser at the National Archives. The Telegraph. “They heard a rumor from a German soldier in Germany that there was hidden treasure, they decided to investigate, and that’s the file we have, from 1946 to 1947,” she said. declared.
  “When we found this document and the treasure map, we were amazed. The Dutch wondered if they could trust the map and its history, and seemed to believe it.

  The Dutch Institute for Post-War Asset and Property Management said the German soldier’s story seemed plausible, as he could have cooperated to reduce a prison sentence.
  Over the years there have been several searches for the loot, but nothing has been found.
  In an attempt to find him, the Dutch state even brought a Nazi officer back to the country to help with the search.
  Last year, a row broke out between enthusiasts looking for Nazi gold and historians claiming they were looking in the wrong place.
  The Silesian Bridge Foundation had dug up the grounds of an 18th-century palace in the Polish village of Minkowskie where they believe £200m of Nazi gold and other valuables stolen by Himmler’s SS were hidden.
  It was triggered after the foundation said the location was revealed in a war diary written by an SS officer at the end of World War II.

  But historians whom the foundation “invited to verify” the newspaper said their analysis was “not completely positive”.
  Posting on Facebook, historians from a group called Discoverer Magazine Exploration Group (GEMO) said: “Our most important discovery is that the village of Minkowskie is NOT mentioned in the ‘war diary’.
  “This may be difficult for the Foundation, as this is the only place their excavation work is being done at this time.”
  Authorities said the use of metal detectors or digging without a permit is not permitted and finds must be reported.
  Dutch police have raised the possibility of unexploded bombs, grenades and landmines being discovered. >
  
  Thank you for the text >
  
  Graag gedaan jongen. >
  
  Considering the amount of building and shit we do here, I'd imagine it has long been displaced or found >
  
  My take: Dutch government has known about this for a long time and it was never found. They've released it in the archives anticipating someone will find and report it. Dutch government will seize it under WWII reparations or some other act. Free treasure hunting service. >
  
  Similar to how the British jewels was shipped.  Newspapers reported about them being on a ship, guarded 24/7 by special guards but the real jewels were already in a plain postage box on a different boat. >
  
  You do know that it’s the Ark of the Covenant right? >
  
  Nope, it's been in the care of the US since 1936. We have top men working on it. >
  
  Who? >
  
  Top, men..... >
  
  I honestly want to go to that warehouse. >
  
  Imagine what we'd find there....
  "What's this, an updated and ratified version of the Constitution from 1795 that was signed by George Washington himself and all other surviving founding fathers which includes amendments about State Rights vs Federal, actually laws about gun control, and even stuff about abortion-HOLY CRAP! the original unaltered version of Return of the Jedi with no Hayden Christensen force ghost and they sing Yub-Nub at the end!" >

  I heard the music in my head immediately. >
  
  From the article:
  
  15 handed police warning after looking for WW2 treasure in village of Ommeren
  
  Why is nobody talking about the 15-handed police? Is that a common thing in the Netherlands? >
  
  Why do you thing the law needs such long arms >
  
  Yeah, they need long arms, not multiple arms. >
  
  They don't just multiple hands on a single pair of long arms >
  
  whoever found this map and allowed it to be scanned and shared is a moron >
  
  It was in the Dutch National Archives. >
  
  Those Dutch bastards! >
  
  Theres two things in this world I hate. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch! >
  
  I love Dutch ovens. >
  
  My wife is less a fan >
  
  That's not what she told me. >
  
  You're not getting me again nazis
  I followed the nazi gold train story so closely just to be let down. >
  
  Dont worry officer im not a treasure hunter, im just a treasure gatherer >
  
  We have progressed to being treasure agrarians, ocifer. Planting treasure fields and building treasure villages. >
  
  Of course not, Great Britain does not want any of its museum pieces missing. >
  
  Pretty interesting. I'm pretty sure the people that buried it went back right after the war and dug it up. It's long gone. >
  
  Just a reminder, the "nazi treasure" is probably just what was confiscated from jews and other targets. No treasure hunter should be expecting to keep this for themselves if they did end up finding it. >
  
  a bank was bombed and jewels and money and stuff were scattered on the street, german soldiers collected it and buried it. >
  
  That will teach the bankers to not store jewelry in the outer facade. What? Banks are just balloons that pop and scatter rings like a Sonic game? >
  
  There's a south American place that nobody wants to talk about. A temple upon a temple upon a temple. I'd bet my pension someone there knows what's at the bottom of that. Just not allowed to look yet. I wonder if local people are in and out on the regular to retain some ancient tradition that modernity wants to steam roll. Leave em to it I say. >
  
  Usually, anything found in a temple built by the Mayan, the Incan, or the Aztec are best left alone. >
  
  That was epic! Time to play that then i guess >
  
  There it is, the plot for the next Indiana Jones. >
  
  Treasure hunters in the village: How do you do fellow villagers? >
  
  If you compare this map to Google Maps of the area, it’s obviously around a farmers field. That general area is just farmland.
  I feel like this would be a pretty common first step to real treasure hunters. So is it dummies or is this story overblown?
  Edit: and a tombstone, so you go to the area and you ask people if they remember a tombstone, over the mound on the side of a dirt road; from when they were kids. You’ll be within 100 meters of it then. >
  
  But…but…I LOVE GOOOOOOLD! >
  
  Treasure hunters who already live there be like, "Ohhhh yeaaaahhh." >
  
  i mean the nazi gold is still lost soooooo >
  
  The higher ups don't want you to find it all in one piece >

  I saw an old map and the word Dutch and thought I was on r/reddeadredemption for a minute >
  
  Anyone who has ever tried to find something they buried under even a few inches of dirt should realize just how hard it is to recover an object using something as vague as a map.  Only the people who actually buried a thing stand a realistic chance of recovering it. >
  
  From someone who has to do this as part of their profession I absolutely agree. It is very difficult to even locate known areas if the surface of the site changed.. >
  
  Sounds like these people need some freedom 🦅🇺🇸 >

  Wait, there are treasure hunters in real life? I thought that was fiction >
  
  There are many. Some of the coolest ones are shipwreck hunters. >
  
  Probably a couple bags of shoes from the hottest ladies they raped before gassing them.  Or some gold. >

  A Dead Snow sequel eh?  Ok, sure, let's see it play out. >

  Don’t those dumbasses know that that map wasn’t unknown? It just wasn’t released to the public.
  I’m guessing someone would’ve already gotten the treasure a long ass time ago >
  
  No, that’s why the Dutch government is making this announcement. If doing a tiny bit of background research for context was a regular habit for the general population, a lot of the problems that have been exacerbated by the internet would not be a thing. >

  Where's Nicolas Cage when you really need him? >
  
  While the treasure is long gone, some brothers along with someone who has a metal detector and someone else who is good at smelling wood will dig 80 feet down only to tell a tv crew about the hints of treasure they think is still there! >

  Are treasure maps ever real? Are there any cases of someone finding an old map and it actually leading to treasure? >
  
  Who made these “ orders “? There are certain specific laws that apply to treasure hunting >
  
  The police made these warnings, and rightfully so. The article using the word "order" is wrong - what the article describes is pretty much like the police saying "Obey traffic lights, or deal with the consequences". >
