Treasure hunters told to keep away since the Nazi Gold train could be booby-trapped


Two men, a Pole and a German, have revealed that they had found a train with guns and valuables, supposedly a Nazi train that could have been carrying valuable stuff. The duo has informed through lawyers that they wanted 10% of the value of anything that was found as a reward. However, till now, there is no visual evidence about the existence of such a train.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 28 August 2015.
As per local folklore, the train had vanished near Ksiaz castle, two miles from the south-eastern city of Walbrzych. Rumor has it that the train was packed with gold, gems and weapons and went missing in Poland while fleeing the Red Army after the end of World War II.
Treasure hunters have been looking for it for decades, and in the communist era, the Polish army had also tried to locate it. Deputy Culture Minister Piotr Zuchowski has now warned to stay away from the long-lost Nazi "gold train" because, even if found after 70 years, it may be booby-trapped. It could be mined and dangerous.
