We all have heard/read the stories: 1882 Army Payroll Robbery, etc.
I need assistance in sorting out whether or not it is in my (or anyone's) best interest to spend time and money trying to locate and recover gold/silver that was stolen from any branch of the Federal Government. (My question assumes that the stolen gold/silver has been located, but nothing else has been done.) Finders keepers?
Does the government have a standing position on these matters (i.e., more than 100 years old, government releases claim to it - less than 100 years, government retains claim to it)?
Do the feds maintain a listing of all Federal Government unrecovered robberies? Website?
