Lost and found my indian passport with US Visa
I had lost my Indian passport with a US visa and later filed an FIR and got a new indian passport but before reporting to the US embassy i found my lost passport, can I travel with both my passports to the US as the US visa in my lost and found passport is still in force?
note: I did not report my lost visa to the embassy as I found it before reporting.
@ Patricia Shanahan, there was no such information given to me regarding returning it back.
@ Newton, thanks man, that information was for expired passport and not for lost and found passport, I have to feel that the found passport will be expired and I can travel with the valid visa only. @DumbCoder 3, that is when you reported it to the Embassy but I found the passport before informing them.

Lost passport are usually considered stolen, so they are stored in invalid passport databases. By having it (or worst, by using it) you get a lot of trouble.
You should care much more about passport (not lose it). It is a security and safety hazard. (because of possible use for criminal activities, which include impersonating you for bank credit).
