Some had it taken from them. Back in the early 70s there was a lot of discussion about legalizng gold ownership. Roosevelt's edict was mentoned and some gold mining magazine told this story:
Just before the edict came out, two brothers sensed what was coming and redeemed $20,000 in gold notes for coin. Months later the Treasury Dept. tracked these guys down, made them cough up the coin and gave them their $20,000 back. The brothers sued, taking it all the way to the Supreme Court. The Court said no harm was done as they got their $20,000 back.
"Independent" SC my fanny. They bend with the political wind as well as any politician.

Back in the 1960’s and 1970’s many of the treasure and Old Western magazines had articles of buried gold from that time.
Gold buried in the 4 Corners area of New Mexico,
Gold buried in Death Valley,
Gold buried by individual farmers who never was able to get back to it.
