I think that would depend on where the high tide line is considered?

The daily tidal variation is less than two feet at Tina Bar.  My guess is that he was referring to the "high tide line" as the place were vegetation (grass and trees) starts on the beach.  That is, near the tree line.

If some of the pictures of the FBI's dig at the site, the agents are very close to the tree line but there is no confirmation that they are at the exact money find location.

For me, the key to the money find is, was the money placed at Tena Bar intentionally, or did it arrive there unintentionally?  If it arrived there unintentionally (dredge, currents, or was there since the skyjacking), then I assume it either detached from the Cooper suspect and both hit the earth's surface not to far from each other, or they hit the earth's surface together.  Either way, it would seem the money was in either one or two locations since the skyjacking.

On the other hand, if the money arrived there intentionally, the prime suspects for planting the money are the Ingrams, Kenny or Duane.

The more information and opinions I read on the subject, the more I'm convinced that the dredge can't be ruled out.

Shutter:    I just finished reading the book written by the retired FBI/Bishop Mike McPheters and in Chapter 20 he talks about his assignment to look for DB Cooper money at Tina's Bar. He says that "while sifting through a parcel of the beach assigned to me, I turned up portions of soil containing pieces of paper currency approximately two inches wide, but still containing serial numbers that matched Cooper's demand money. I preserved each piece as evidence by storing them in plastic bags, tagging them with my initials and the date and casse number. I kept digging. By late that night, and with the help of a good rake, I had found numerous pieces of money, all of which matched up. I documented my discovery as one of the most interesting reports I had ever written"
This was the first news from the FBI of additional pieces of the money.
