The map was believed to indicate where Nazi soldiers hid four large boxes filled with diamonds, rubies, gold, silver and all sorts of jewelry they looted after an explosion at a bank in August 1944, the Dutch National Archive said.
Armed with metal detectors and shovels, groups wandered through the fields surrounding rural Ommeren in the east of the country after the map was made public by the Dutch National Archive on Tuesday.
The research file which held the map was released this week as the maximum period of 75 years during which it could be held confidential had lapsed. “I see groups of people with metal detectors everywhere,” 57-year old Jan Henzen told Reuters as he took a break from his own search.
