A professional treasure hunter, Reinhold Ostler, is organising an official hunt for treasure that once belonged to Maximilian I of Bavaria. In 1541, hundreds of pieces of table silver were lost when a ferry boat sank after it struck a bridge on the River laa. The two silver plates held by Mr Ostler were found by a local fisherman in 1929. They are now the property of a museum at Muhldorf In Bavaria. Records show that more: than 41 boxes broke open when the ferry sank.
