It was then decided to fill <strong>in</strong> the holes as best as possible (after photograph<strong>in</strong>g them first) anddepart from the scenic but by now somewhat dangerous area. Mud was washed off <strong>in</strong> the lake and the twofold<strong>in</strong>g shovels were thrown out as far <strong>in</strong>to the cold, deep lake as possible.<strong>The</strong>re were two splashes followed by a third as the boat was shoved <strong>in</strong>to the water from its hid<strong>in</strong>gplace beh<strong>in</strong>d a w<strong>in</strong>dfall and the electric eng<strong>in</strong>e started. When they were out <strong>in</strong> the middle of the lake,head<strong>in</strong>g back to Neusach, the police boat came up quickly, overtook them and slowed down until it wasonly a few meters off the starboard side.Several unformed police officials came over to the side and stared down <strong>in</strong>to the boat. What theyobserved were two obvious tourists, one camera bag, two cameras, a sack of potato chips and three bottlesof warm beer. <strong>The</strong>re were brief comments, some wav<strong>in</strong>g and off the boat went to hunt for trespassers withboats filled with Nazi loot.Sitt<strong>in</strong>g on the end of the boat dock at Neusach was a pleasant, youngish Austrian gentlemen <strong>in</strong> hisshirtsleeves. He was very pale and obviously gett<strong>in</strong>g a marvellous sunburn while watch<strong>in</strong>g the fishermensitt<strong>in</strong>g off the shore, the birds skimm<strong>in</strong>g the water and anyth<strong>in</strong>g else of <strong>in</strong>terest. <strong>The</strong> Austrians are alwaysnoted for their politeness and when the boat bear<strong>in</strong>g the excavators came up, he got to his feet and veryk<strong>in</strong>dly offered to give the occupants a hand up. He looked curiously <strong>in</strong>to the boat, noted the cameras, thebeer and the potato chips and smiled.<strong>The</strong> newly-m<strong>in</strong>ted tourists expla<strong>in</strong>ed with much glee how they were photograph<strong>in</strong>g the beautifullake for an American travel magaz<strong>in</strong>e. Rather than make a hasty and suspicious departure, both the diggersspent some time bor<strong>in</strong>g the poor man half to death with comments about shutter speeds, fish<strong>in</strong>g and theexcellent food to be had at the restaurant at the far eastern end of the lake. F<strong>in</strong>ally, it was the observer whobeat a hasty retreat. And no doubt returned to the local Polizeirevier to put someth<strong>in</strong>g on his <strong>in</strong>flamed,bald<strong>in</strong>g head.<strong>The</strong> next day, it was mutually decided to leave the visual pleasures of the Weissensee and after<strong>in</strong>form<strong>in</strong>g the very curious hotel staff that Vienna was their goal, the successful treasure hunters departed.Instead of tak<strong>in</strong>g the fork that led to the highway and Vienna, they took another one, crossed theTechendorf bridge and drove down the south side of the lake until the came to the remote area where theyhad hidden the discovered gold.Gold is very heavy and the car’s suspension made the rest of their journey a matter of someconcern.An <strong>in</strong>ventory of the 2000 recovery was as follows:Russian Imperial gold co<strong>in</strong>s810 5 Rouble pieces valued (<strong>in</strong> 1990 spot gold prices) at $64,800475 10 Rouble pieces valued at $95,000Austrian gold co<strong>in</strong>s1, 470 Imperial 1 ducat pieces valued at $88,200975 Imperial 4 ducat pieces valued at $438,7501,355 10 Corona pieces valued at $101,6252,101 20 Corona pieces valued at $630,600217 100 Corona pieces valued at $184,45063 20 Kronen pieces valued at $58,27528 100 Kronen pieces valued at $56,0004,150 25 Schill<strong>in</strong>g pieces valued at 229,800517 100 Schill<strong>in</strong>g pieces valued at $310,200Polish gold co<strong>in</strong>s4158 10 Zloty pieces valued at $249,480French gold co<strong>in</strong>s802 20 Franc pieces valued at $64,16050 50 Franc pieces valued at $22,500142 100 Franc pieces valued at $60, 350Swiss gold co<strong>in</strong>s907 10 Franc pieces valued at $54,4201121 20 Franc pieces valued at $78,470British gold co<strong>in</strong>s804 Sovereign pieces valued at $54,420202 ½ Sovereign pieces valued at $15,150
