• I think it could potentially be an incredibly hard and traumatic find for descendants or friends of those who had their valuables stolen from them. Obviously, fewer and fewer witnesses will remain alive the longer this drags on, but there may well be family heirlooms uncovered that are still known to the survivors.

    The main thing that still annoys me about the reporting is that this is 'treasure', as well as the term 'gold train', and indeed anything that makes it sound like the next Indiana Jones instalment. If it exists, it's a tainted object that will require a lot of extremely careful archaeology and restitution, where that is even still possible.
