    True Treasure Hunt in Europe

    I am a student journalist from a university in the UK and I am writing up an investigation into treasure hunting and its relationship with tourism.

    I was wondering if there are any cases of treasure in Europe that people still hunt for/travel to try and find. Think a European equivalent of Forrest Fenn or Oak Island. Maybe the Gold Train or Amber Room?

    The idea is to travel to the area myself or join a team for a couple days to experience the hunt for myself.

    Hope I have explained okay and thank you for your time.

    real Batman appeared in XIX century

    When I moved to the USA, I took our family archive with me. Recently it was the turn to look through my grandfather’s newspaper clippings. Our family has a large archive of old tsarski (19th century) newspapers. 

    One of the clippings is really extraordinary. it talks about citizens who, during the First World War, fought crime somewhere on the borders of the city of Rostov-on-Don (Russia)

    They called “fight on the Border”. It’s not very clear at this point, of course. Apparently this may be the entry of the main road to the city. But what's really surprising is that they called themselves the "Bat Society." When we were at home in Russia, we discussed this artifact - just funny. I somehow missed the point that the address where this Society met was indicated in the article. So I decided to enter the address in Google maps and... my surprise! 

    Rostov-on-Don. Sadovaya st. 23 (in article it was 21) 

    You can see on the picture that the building definitely was constructed in XIX century. As well as the newspaper was published between 1914-1918

    So…

    I have only one question - could Bob Kane (the creator of Batman image) somehow find out about this? And the source of Batman really existed in Russia? 

    Rostov-on-Don, Sadovaya str 23

    Newspaper dated 1914-18

    Any answers for this mystery

    It’s a sad fact that sometimes people just vanish. The causes for their disappearance and the methods of their vanishing are many but there has been a widely covered group of vanishings that have captured headlines becoming known as the “missing 411” These people came from all walks of life the commonality they share is that they all went missing after venturing out into the wilderness of North America. This then leading to the perplexing mystery of the many hundreds of thousands of Missing 411 cases. Could this phenomena be global, could a series of strange disappearances on the opposite side of the world offer up some more clues? Are there links between the “missing 411” in the USA and Australia’s Black Mountain vanishings? Let’s take a look. The Missing 411
