THE mystery of what happened to the Nazi gold could be on the brink of being solved by a Chorley dowser.

Jim Longton, from Euxton, believes his trusty dowsing rods have already pointed him in the right direction and now all he has to do is travel to Hitler's lair in Germany to uncover the gold.

He will begin his journey on June 21. Jim claimed: "I already know where it is."

The gold is believed to have been stolen from banks and individuals from countries occupied by the Germans during 1945-47.

Many experts have attempted to discover its whereabouts but Jim hopes his rods, which he uses to create positive energy fields and to find things, can finally unravel the 60-year-old mystery.
