Tom's statement is a blatant contradiction: How?

(a) The information collected by the FBI, combined with the known positions of the dredge pipes, suggests that the money find was not within the area covered by the dredging material.

(b) The new information now indicates that the dredging operation did not transport the bills from the bottom of the Columbia River but could have been a contributing factor to the bills staying buried until 1980.

No dredging material was at the Ingram site but the dredging material NOT AT THE INGRAM SITE COVERED THE INGRAM SITE SO MONEY NOT FOUND THERE UNTIL YEARs LATER !

And a partridge in a pear tree, too! 

 

I considered this too, but it is actually correct. Here's why:

Obviously the beach has eroded up to the dirt road on Tena Bar since the 1974 dredge. Furthermore, it is likely that eventually the road itself will disappear due to erosion.

On the other hand, if dredging had continued per normal as of 1974 with the spoils being placed on the beach there would likely have been no erosion, or at least a minimal amount. Therefore one can deduce that spreading dredge spoils on Tena Bar did stop, or significantly mitigate, erosion on Tena Bar.

This is interesting because I don't think anyone would argue that dredge spoils were actually spread or piled onto the road itself. Yet, eventually the road will be washed away because of the lack of spoils on Tena Bar. The same principle would apply to the money find spot. In other words, spoils don't actually have to reside atop of the spot itself to prevent erosion at the spot.

I never understood this stmt by Tom, that money came to Tina bar shortly and within a year of the highjacking. Based on their own rubber band analysis, the rubber bands even buried should have long disintegrated by the find in 1980. I would maintain the money came to Tina Bar within a year of the find, and was kept prior somewhere where the bands would not disintegrate which suggests a plant then, yes I know. I don't know of any other way the bands would have been intact the way they were, if they were outside whether in water, buried in sand, ran through a dredge, washed down by a flood...whatever else...if they had been outside from 1971-1980, the bands would have been long gone.  For the bands to have been in tact, they would have had to been in a protected environment most of that time.

What Tom is saying, and I think it's accurate, is that the money was buried at Tena Bar virtually the entire time since the hijacking. As for me, I believe the money was buried the night of the hijacking.

Buried in sand at a depth of a couple of feet I believe the rubber bands could survive to the degree that they survived. They're synthetic therefore would last longer than an organic item such as paper.

It's also important to note that the bills were tested for diatoms and none were found. This is consistent with being buried in an oxygen-poor environment.

The bills were NOT tested for diatoms! Tom just didnt observe any. Tests for diatoms conducted at U-Wash by a leading authority were stopped, due to interference from JT and Brian Ingram@!

Do you believe the bands went through a melt-transition phase? At what temperature?

Would sulfur bonds weaken slower or faster if buried by hand vs naturally buried?

Are you now an associate of Tom's - on his team?

Also - is there anything you are unsure about in this matter and looking for answers to, that others could help with?
 

In my mind the evidence points to the money having been buried at Tena Bar by human intervention. If human intervention was not involved a remarkable series of things have to occur which I do not believe are possible. Beyond that, who knows.

Regardless, I don't think it helps to look at this info in a vacuum. It makes sense to look at other evidence and factors and attempt to explain how these things fit together. There is nothing wrong with this approach.

One thing I know for certain, there is an explanation.

Hey guys! I am Tina Tell and Im lonely! I am commonly called Tina Bar. I am a trashy vamp. Have lots of stuff in my sands. Old nails, metals, pieces of metal, old pop cans, wood, you name it its there! All mixed up in my cross bedded sands. Neptune the God of the Water comes to visit me every minute of my life. Neptune and I get all entangled. Then one day comes along all of this money. People got very upset. They are still getting upset! They say the money does not belong here, and I ask "why is that? Everything else belongs here!". I'm the one who should be upset! I didnt ask for all of these visitors and traffic! Please! Somebody come and get all of this money outta here! So I can collect one thing but not the other. Take the money and while you're at it take the nails too. I never did like nails. Nails dont belong here! Take the diatoms too. In fact you can take the sand too! I never did much care for sand either, even though I am a sand bar.
