Digging for the suspected looted Nazi treasure in Deutschneudorf, Germany has begun. Treasure hunters in Germany hope to find parts of the fabled Amber Room along with stockpiles of stolen gold and other artifacts the Nazis hid toward the end of World War II.

The Amber Room was built from 1701-1709 in Prussia and was beautifully created by German and Russian craftsmen with amber panels that were backed with gold leafs and mirrors. Its incredible beauty was so great it was sometimes called the "Eight Wonder of the World".

Since HuntTreasure first discussed the potential find last Friday, Feb 22, the hunt and excitement has intensified. Mainstream media outlets have picked up the story with several articles including:

• Treasure hunters dig for Hitler’s gold
• Germans dig for Nazi treasure
• Treasure Hunters Drill for Buried Nazi Gold, Looted Paintings
• Hunt Continues for Nazi Treasure

And with the beginnings of the dig, photos of the site are starting to hit the public. View the dig photo gallery:
