A culture official in Poland said radar imagery appears to confirm a story by two men who said they know the location of a mysterious Nazi train that may contain gold or other treasures. Deputy Culture Minister Piotr Zuchowski said Friday he's "more than 99 percent sure that the train is there," but couldn't confirm what was inside the train.
...... ........ The mystery train is believed to be in an abandoned tunnel near Ksiaz Castle, in southwestern Poland.
Local legend says the train contains gold, precious stones, art and weapons. The two men who brought the train to the government's attention -- a Pole and a German -- have requested 10 percent of the haul in exchange for their knowledge.
Zuchowski said the two men were made aware of the possible discovery by a man who drew them a map while on his death bed, NBC News reported. The man reportedly helped hide the train some 70 years ago and wanted to pass on his knowledge before he died.
The culture minister warned treasure-seekers not to go looking for the train because it could be booby trapped. "There is a huge probability that the train is mined," he said in a statement. Zygmunt Nowaczyk, the deputy mayor of Walbrzych, wouldn't reveal the exact location of the train, but confirmed to the BBC it is "within our administrative boundaries."

RADAR? Radio waves through rock? 100 Mhz might see 50 Ft through dry rock at low resolution.

Latest reports say this is yet another hoax. I prefer the Nazi time machine story, myself. The one that says the time machine and the Nazi general in charge could never be found because he left in the time machine at the end of the war.
