Gold coins est.$10 million

I'm sure most have seen the story making the news about the couple that recently found a hoard of gold coins that had been buried in their back yard for years est. since the 30s.
Obviously it belonged to someone else at one time, I wonder if they could lose it suppose a descendant of the person who buried it originally could prove he had a claim to ownership, or say the coins could be documented to a robbery of a person, bank, or theft from a US government agency?
It seems to me that for that much money to be buried in the yard like it was it might have been ill gotten, that is a lot of money now and would probably been more so then.
Any Ideas?
