I have a certain degree of belief dredging had a roll in this. however, can the money withstand the years and violence of the dredge? can the money survive underwater in the bag and then ripped apart by the dredge? I can see the money being fused together while being in the bag on land, but can this occur while under water? if it's close to the north spoil can we conclude that erosion brought it to the surface?

Robert, how do you switch the coords so they can be put into Google maps? these coords don't work.

What format do you need for them to work on the Google maps?  Switching is easy, just need the format that Google uses.

Snow did extensive research on the dredger (auger) used, back at DZ. Posts are still there. He found many examples of rocks, paper, wood, even a case of a small tv almost intact passing through the auger. Total shredding may be a myth in spite of the FBI report from the dredging company saying 'everything would have been shredded'.
Two agents even told several people part of a briefcase had been found, but then retracted their statement turning that into the status of a rumor. 

Tom is relying on the FBI/Dredging Co. report as the final word. So far as I know the Fazios weren't helpful - all they said was "we didn't see anything when we spread out the piles'...  whatever that means?

We know there were two main vectors for debris appearing at Tina Bar 1971-1980: (a) hydrological deposition, and (b)  the dredging in 1974. Both involve the Columbia river.

Furthermore, Tom Kaye says Palmer's identification of strata was wrong! Is Tom saying some or none of the 1974 dredging spoils were at Tina Bar in 1980, or had they all eroded away by that date? ..............       

We may never know "how" the money got to Tina Bar. We might be able to narrow the timeline when it could have happened (and not happened) but even that is problematic with today's data.

Could the dredger have passed some money bundles? Tom and the FBI/Dredging Co say absolutely not. Snow says 'maybe' and cites examples of things passing through that dredge. The remaining Fazio hasn't clarified anything except to say he thinks the money came up on the shoreline during the last high tide just prior it being found (which doesn;t seem likely). 

I also found reason to believe debris gets through the dredge lines. it still needs to be intact for almost 9 years of weathering, submerged, temps, bugs etc. I don't know if the money could of done that? if it was hung up on land somewhere protected in the bag for several years, you might have a claim.

almost 3 years in the water, then brought up to the surface. is this possible?

The Fazios were there! What did they see or not see!? Do they just spread stuff around and unless something the size of car hit's their blade ... they dont see anything and nothing else but sand is there?

The dredge kicks up a lot of things on the bottom. it's possible the money was flung all over the place at the bottom? one would think some of it would be trapped in the system. it has several guards prior to the screen at the end of the pipe.

well, as we all know there could easily be a timing issue with Cooper's jump time. if he didn't really know where he was, and could see some light. how can we be certain he knew where the river was?

If Cooper bailed close to the Columbia and didn't open his chute. where would be the best guess of where he left the plane, and what time would that be?

What format do you need for them to work on the Google maps?  Switching is easy, just need the format that Google uses.

Examples of accepted formats:

Degrees, minutes and seconds (DMS): 41° 24' 12.1674", 2° 10' 26.508"
Degrees and decimal minutes (DMM): 41 24.2028, 2 10.4418
Decimal degrees (DDD): 41.40338, 2.17403

Shutter, try these DDD numbers:  45.71789 (this is NORTH latitude, which may also be indicated by a "+" if Google requires it) and 122.75950 (this is WEST longitude, which may also be indicated by a "-" if Google requires it).

These numbers should work using the format you list above.

I tried several ways. I keep popping up in Korea?
