I am willing to loan my Cooper twenty to Tom if he wants to do some nondestructive testing and analysis on it. I know and trust Tom and Al. I'm confident they would take care in their handling of my sacred artifact. It forms the centerpiece of my Cooper shrine.

377

G claimed Brian told him they separated the money using liquid dish detergent.. perhaps Tom can determine the brand..

That is not the full account of what I said, or what the Ingram family members said, or Ckret said, or what others said. Go back and read the thread! Or ask Tom. 

This is what you said... is it not accurate? any changes...

What would be the impact on any forensic evidence..

"I do know this, however: Brian Ingram told me that all bill
bundles were taken to his home and his parents seperated the
bills using liquid dish detergent. These bills were seperated at the
Ingram home before they were deleivered to the Portland FO.
Therefore, it is certain that the true bill order could never be
established from the Tina Bar find."

oh the files are bullshit

Tom says " The summaries do not show the rarer more interesting particles just the overall picture.  "

So he's not releasing the particle counts for the rare earth stuff?
WTF? He talks it up in the news release, but doesn't release the data?

I don't believe the data then. I don't think he has data on Yttrium, or it's so trace, that it's embarassing to publish.

What a crock of shit. This is not science.

Unless the Yttrium is buried in some other tabs, and excluded from the summaries??

Seems to me, that Tom cherrypicked in reporting the data
On his site, he lists a boatload of stuff found..its so wide ranging, I don't know what it means.
For these elements, the relative amounts aren't listed, at least not that I can see yet

Some of the interesting particles found:

300 series SS - 500 pcs
400 series SS - 150 pcs
Cerium 99% pure
Cerium Lanthanum - lighter flint
Yittrium - red phosphor in TV screens
Strontium Sulfide - phosphor
Phosphorus 97% pure - matches
Lead Phosphate - no info
Cadmium
Vanadium
Zinc
Barium Chloride -radioactive influences phosphors
Barium Sulfate- a phosphor
Tungsten
tungsten cobalt
FeTiPbCu
Iron Cobalt
Calcium Flourine
Potassium Chlorate = matches
Antimony Sufide -  From matches (No Particles found on tie so  the pure Antimony below is not likely from matches)
Antimony 99% - Antimony compounds, primarily sodium antimonate, are also used in decolorizing and refining agents for optical glass and CRT glass.
Mercury Sulfide - cinnabar pigment
Bismuth Chloride - glitter
tin copper bromine

Cause I'm wondering
are we talking about traces that are just barely detectable?
And again, what form of Yttrium

and in the file, it says Ti-rich

How did he distinguish Ti pure vs Ti alloy?
Both are Ti-rich in my mind?

well we could ask Tom what the "-rich" suffix means on the stuff
I think it just means "high percentage of" ..when applied to the prefix.

alloy has different metals..I'm guessing the piece found was pure..

yes CP TI = Commercially Pure Titanium, was used on the 727. May or may not have been picked up on plane.
