Digging in the wrong place

Hunt continues for Nazi treasure
DEUTSCHKATHARINENBERG, Germany - German treasure hunters were to begin digging Tuesday for what they claim to be plunder buried by the Nazis in a man-made cavern
...
The area's mayor, Hans-Peter Haustein, and a man who found the coordinates for the buried booty in a notebook among his deceased father's belongings, maintain that a scan of the spot has revealed that a large quantity of metal is about 20 yards below the surface. They believe it to be either gold or silver, based on the scan with a sophisticated metal detector.
Despite all that equipment, they just don't know where to look.

I realize I missed a great opportunity to remove all mention of location in the quoted portion, and then via my comments make it look like the article was actually about Nazi gold found under Camp Snoopy...

...but I just couldn't bring myself to delete the word "DEUTSCHKATHARINENBERG"
