Poland's deputy culture minister stated that ground-penetrating radar has detected what appears to be a buried train near WaÅ'brzych. This was after a dying man, who was involved in the operation of hiding the train, revealed the general location.

The train is said to be carrying up to 300 tonnes of gold, jewels and weapons. Rumours say that the train went missing when the Nazis were fleeing Russia's Red Army.
"If the train does actually exist, there's a significant chance it is mined," council chairman Jacek Cichura told the Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza. "It could also contain a large amount of methane gas."
Authorities are making plans to investigate and salvage the find, but that hasn't stopped fortune seekers from conducting their own investigations despite possible dangers.
