If the money doesn't float how did it get from the bottom of the river to the top especially if you use the tideline as the reason it was found there? all the debris in the background likely floats...
A long hourly test could help..put a pack of bills on the shoreline just before the tide comes in. you would have to attach it somehow and see if it would lodge itself at the high tide line..also put one in place when the tide starts to go down? possibly using light fishing string..
Fly, you are showing the samething's I posted in 2016..the curve in the tree's have been shown numerous times over the years. the point here was convincing the location Tom provided was incorrect..things on the bottom of the river for periods of time would get covered with the build up of sand that causes them to constantly dredge. spring starts in March, not February. the money was suspended weeks, months or years. it can self bury on the beach and not in the river? lots of factors involved with hydraulics and movement...we would see lots of things on the shore that came from the bottom that was man made..
I also believe Palmer thinks the money floats..he states "just like driftwood"
Actually he posted two vids, one seen before
Both are on this site and found by me...
Yes, exactly the configuration of trees you used in 016.
What I would like to know is when and how were the Brian photos taken at or near the find location, with that leaning tree hind ?
FJ's photos - the news vid still of the beach is great!
Once again, the trees noted are not correct.
Specifically, the leaning tree is not the second red dot from the top, rather it is the third red dot from the top. In other words, the money find spot is due south, maybe 10 feet, from the second red dot from the top.
Also, the money find spot is approximately 40 feet from the edge of the small gravel road due east of the money find spot. The decline of the beach toward the river starts about 10 feet from the edge of the road I'm referring to.Therefore, the money find spot is approximately 3/8ths
the way to the edge of the river from the start of the decline.
During that distance the elevation drops approximately 15 feet. Meaning the elevation from the top of the beach (approximately 10 feet west of the edge of the small gravel road) drops approximately 5 feet. Thereby, leaving another approximately 10 feet to drop to the water's edge--again under normal river levels.
Now, two other things that people are not mentioning:
1) The photos from 1980 are taken AFTER the beach has eroded. In other words, in 1971 the elevation of the money find spot is likely one foot or so higher than 1980.
2) The water level of the Columbia fluctuates a small amount throughout the day--not by 10 feet. After all, if the river regularly rose to the money find spot, why didn't it impact any of the FBI digging or trenching the week they were on site?
Finally, you can clearly see the tide line in the footage of Dr. Palmer--who is not standing by the money find spot--it is on his left very near the water's edge. Look for the discolored sand.
