The digging that exposes foundation stones and other architectural pieces is the work of Henk Klaasen, who has been on this forum before. Henk has been improving the Berghof site for several years (and also the Mooslahnerkopf after the removal of the Teehaus ruins). Did you see a white caravan parked in the Berghof driveway? That is Henk's (he was there when I was there on 24 October).
BUT there have also been relic hunters with metal detectors at the Berghof site. Although I don't know what anyone would hope to find up on the Bodnerbichl ... bomb shrapnel, possibly. I guess one never knows.
Gary, that reminded me. The authorities DID find SS munitions on the OSB recently. I can't find the article with the story now, but it seems it was in the past couple of years. Workmen were cleaning out a storm drain near the former Platterhof site, and found a shaft with grenades and small arms cartridges at the bottom. Come to think of it, these could also have been American. I don't recall that the report said, one way or another.
But ... It was a house that Himmler maintained for his mistress Hedwig Potthast - https://www.google.com/maps/place/47%C2 ... !1s0x0:0x0
