If no one has a legitimate claim upon them other than you, they’re unquestionably yours.

“False. The Statute of Limitations is not in play here. If you are in possession of stolen property (again, if that is the case here), there is no time limit. Stolen property is stolen property, one, seven, or a hundred years into the fututre. “
So why didn't the governments of Colombia and Mexico go after Mel Fisher when he found the treasure of the Atocha. I am sure the Spanish didn't have a receipt for the gold and jewels they looted from the from the indigenous population.

You'd be surprised how many times they end up in court.

I know Fisher went to court vs Florida but he won albeit after a long fight to the Supreme Court. When did Fisher go up against Mexico or Colombia, the source of the treasure.

One of my ancestors was a good doobie and turned in his small golden nest egg when FDR called in all the gold. All those old gold pieces are worth a lot (probably not millions though).
