Last week, a pair of anonymous treasure hunters approached officials in Walbrzych, Poland via their lawyer to claim they had found an old Nazi loot train. Now officials have confirmed that the pair certainly found a train. Whether it's full of gold remains to be seen. 

As NBC News reports, a press officer confirmed that a military train had been found and the town's deputy mayor Zygmunt Nowaczyk made the following statement at a press conference:

The city [of Walbrzych] is full of mysterious stories because of its history. Now it is formal information — [we] have found something.

There have been legends of a lost Nazi train in Walbrzych for years, and now it appears they are true. A tour guide at a local castle told NBC News that Nazis had dug myriad secret tunnels in the area during World War II as part of a project to turn that castle into a hotel for high ranking Nazi officials. It's unproven but plausible that these tunnels were used as a impromptu train-hiding spot. 

There are still mysteries however. Walbrzych officals haven't said anything about the contents of the train and have expressed the need for caution exploring it, citing the possibility of unstable weaponry, booby traps, and caves that are filled with naturally-occurring flamable gasses. The officials also haven't said whether they agreed to the finders fee or found the train by other means. 

Gold and treasure or no, it would be difficult for the contents of that train to be boring, and we'll no doubt hear more about its mysterious contents in the coming weeks.
