Treasure hunters in Poland are looking for the famed Nazi Gold Train. Andreas Richter and Piotr Koper are convinced the train is buried under the city of Walbrzych, claiming that they located it with radar equipment. Adding to the hysteria and ensuing 'gold rush' to the city, one government official even said he was 99% sure that the train was there.

Despite the fact that many researchers say the Thing never existed, the treasure hunters press on. Despite the findings of geological experts from a Krakow university who used magnetic detection equipment to basically prove there was no train there, they press on. Despite the fact that it makes absolutely no sense for the the Nazis to try to smuggle gold, art and weapons from Walbrzych to Waldenburg, where the approaching Soviet Army would be almost sure to find it, they press on.

That's the Thing about treasure. It's all about the hunt. It's about the off chance that you might hit someThing with your shovel. And that Thing might just turn out to be the best Thing ever.

See you next week,
