The same sort of laws apply in the United States as well. If you find buried treasure on your land, you do not own all of it.

Much of the loot has owners other than governments - descendants of the people from whom it was stolen in the first place, insurance companies that paid out on losses, etc. That is why they’d ask for their 10%. Take their cut, run like heck and let everyone else fight it out in court.

I want to know where and how the train was hidden that it was not found for almost 70 years!

They’re the ones going to be digging it up and distributing it, adjudicating claims. And the Polish government, while a different organization then than now, represents the Polish people, including expatriates originally from Poland. They have a big job ahead of them. They should get a cut.
