You had posted some info on some silver bars. I think I might have come across one in California. It looks and weighs exactly how you described them.
I do not think they are silver, since the "Stanley Process" is a way to seperate Nickel. I think the description are for Nickel Babbitts and not silver bars
How do I verify authenticity - I can email you pictures - if interested.

Fayette county Part 3
Fayette county, Pennsylvania: 1. Fort Mason located in the Masontown area, built in 1774. 2. Fort Gaddis 2 miles S Uniontown, founded 1764. 2A). There are 2 different stories as to how 15 tons of silver bars came to be cached inside a cave near Uniontown: A). The hoard was being shipped by ox cart from Buffalo, New York, and cached to prevent it from falling into the hands of the British during the War of 1812. B). The treasure was hijacked from a train during the Civil War in 1865 as the conflict was coming to a close and the silver secreted in a cave and never recovered. 2B). Silver ingots from this treasure have come into the open in the hands of individuals, turning up in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. A). The loot was reportedly found by 2 hunters in a cave around 1957 and, as hazy as the story becomes, it is believed the hoard was moved from its original hiding place to another cave or old coal mine shaft where it supposedly remains for whatever reason, except for the few bars already found and in the hands of these several individuals. B). The ingots are 8 ¾ x 2 x ¾ inches, weigh 3 ½ pounds and are stamped: (Syracuse Smelting Works-Government Genuine-New York City). The reverse side of the bars are stamped: (Alloyed under the Stanley Process).
