A trio of aging sleuths - homeopath Leonhard Blume, 73, scientist Günter Eckardt, 67, and georadar specialist Peter Lohr, 71 - are convinced the missing Amber Room of the Russian Tsars lies in the Prince's Cave in the Hartenstein hills near Dresden.
Third Reich scientists used the cave complex during the war - but all records of what went on there have mysteriously vanished from local archives.
Lohr used radar imaging to detect underground booby traps and what appear to be bunkers under the soil.
He scanned the hill in September after claiming that a 'reliable source' told him of the missing treasure's whereabouts in 2001.
'The hideout is underground is above the railway line, where in April 1945 a train from Königsberg was stopped,' he said. Königsberg, now Kaliningrad belonging to Russia, was formerly the capital of East Prussia where the Amber Room was once stored.
He also said he has evidence that treasure belonging to the last monarch of Imperial Germany - Kaiser Wilhelm II who went into exile in Holland in 1918 after his defeat in WW1 - is stored in the complex.
Eckardt said; ... "Georadar and dowsing measurements reveal a a system of secret tunnels beneath the cave system itself.
The Amber Room consists of panels containing six tonnes of amber resin, took ten years to complete and is valued at some £200million in today's money.
Peter the Great received the room as a gift from the King of Prussia in 1716 and brought it to his new capital, St Petersburg.
The 16-feet of jigsaw-puzzle style panels were constructed of more than 100,000 perfectly fitted pieces of amber.
In 1755, it was moved to the Catherine Palace at Tsarkoe Selo, 17 miles south of the Imperial Russian capital.

every couple years we get this sort of claim...nast tme it was in poland
But they are lying, because they haven’t actually found anything yet.
Send Geraldo - did such a bang up job with Al Capone safe....
wish them luck, hope they don’t trip any ‘Bouncin’ Betty’s’
because they are hard on the jewels.
It went up in smoke with the rest of the building
The explanation that is widely accepted is that the Amber Room was destroyed when the Red Army basically flattened Konigsburg.
It is a world class treasure, so I'd love to see it found, but doubt it ever will.
But what do the Magic Chicken Bones say?

Don’t be too sure.
Imaging from ground penetrating radar has come a long way in recent years.

Just like all of the others. No one will be allowed to touch it. Every real 3rd Reich storage area goes off limits the moment it is found. So much for wining the war. The spoils are untouchable!
Why???
Sounds like a cool game.
.
Not that kind of “dowsing.”
Picture a radar swinging through specific stations in specific parallel planes. (much like the way TV pictures used to be generated)

>> “Why???” <<
Because those treasures have been abscounded!
.
St. Petersburg? Oh, yes, of course!
For half a second, I thought this was from one of President Trump’s private homes. The Family Quarters. Yes, I’m serious.
He is known to be very fond of displays of gold inside the home.
And yes there are polar bears here and you need to watch out for the smoke monster.
Then why don’t they open up the holes? Silly rabbit, if there is nothing there.......
Looks like Trump’s private floor in Trump Tower.
That’s a relief. I pictured a grizzled mountain man with a pronged stick saying “Yep. Drill here.”
