After the robbery the robbers left Winsted to the west heading towards Norfolk according to the story told by one of the robbers that was eventually caught they buried the specie in a place where they could come back after it later. His story goes on they never recovered the loot, so someplace west of Winsted the loot is supposedly still buried. Bank robbers tend to be a lazy lot, so it makes since they buried the heaviest part of the loot that altogether weighed over 200 pounds. The specie was the heaviest part.
