Many went back after the eruption to try to recover any possessions or look for missing family members, but it was almost impossible for them to get past the layer of thick ash that had now hardened over the town.
Through the years before the towns rediscovery numerous attempts, some we find were successful, were made to tunnel down into the ash to loot the buildings of any valuables. Some died trying to do this.
However you have to remember that there were no news reports or any means of finding out what had happened across the country, they were very reliant on word of mouth. This meant that nothing was really done to save those buried under the ash or to try and uncover the town again.
