No they haven't found it. Trust me...if they ever do find it the whole world will know! This is not something that goes on the third page of the A&E section of the paper.
Finding the Ark of the Covenant would have far reaching effects on 2/3 rds of the world. It is the basis of the law for every Jewish and Christian man woman and child.
This would dominate the news for months.

When the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem and plundered the temple, the Ark entered the domain of legend. Many historians suppose that the ark was probably taken away by Nebuchadnezzar and destroyed.
In contrast to the general consensus of historians (that supposes that the ark was taken away and destroyed), variant traditions about the ultimate fate of the Ark include the intentional concealing of the Ark under the Temple Mount, the removal of the Ark from Jerusalem in advance of the Babylonians (this variant usually ends up with the Ark in Ethiopia), the removal of the Ark by the Ethiopian prince Menelik I (purported son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba), removal by Jewish priests during the reign of Manasseh of Judah, possibly taken to a Jewish temple on Elephantine in Egypt, and the miraculous removal of the Ark by divine intervention.
1) The Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Axum, Ethiopia is the only one in the world which still claims to possess the Ark of the Covenant
2) Vendyl Jones claimed to have found the entrance to the chamber in the cave of the Column - Qumran. Here, he stated, is where the Ark was hidden prior to the destruction of the First Temple

The Ark of the Covenant is in all probably hood has no longer been have been given right here upon, what's being investigated is an area that has information of a Jewish presence around the time of Moses in Saudi Arabia, in all danger ensuing in the real area of Mount Sinai.

Not yet - but one or two think that they are close to it on the grounds of aerial surveys.
