    A Polish official says ground-penetrating radar images have left him "99% convinced" that a World War Two German military train is buried near the south-western city of Walbrzych.

    Deputy Culture Minister Piotr Zuchowski said images appeared to show a train equipped with gun turrets.

    Local legend says a Nazi train filled with gold, gems and guns went missing near the city in 1945.

    Mr Zuchowski called the latest evidence an "exceptional" discovery.

    He did not reveal the location of the find but said he personally hoped that it would bring to light looted art and Nazi archives.

    However, he also reiterated warnings to treasure hunters that it may be booby-trapped.

    This will be an interesting discovery after 70 years!

    I don't think many people will be lining up to claim ownership. Not exactly something that would benefit a person much.

    There have been rumours of crates from the amber room may be on the train.

    Exactly, so after 40+ years of reading about it from Jewish and other families you would think they would jump on the band wagon to claim some of it.:wink:

    Just my Thinking here.:thumbsup:
