The dredge spoils placed on Tena Bar came from the river channel next to Tena Bar.

As for me, I think the money find is the holy grail and ultimately provides all the evidence necessary to prove what happened and where. I don't think it says much if anything about who DBC was.

I don't get all this talk of "self burial"

A lot of material was uncovered during the dig, including cans, nails and other garbage. Did someone have to physically bury everything?

Two critically important factors:

1) A significant portion of the debris on Tena Bar was left there by fisherman on the beach.

2) The buried items were all heavier than water (metal). I am unaware of any buried paper (like currency) being found.

Nails found at Tena Bar?  Where does this come from?  The dredged material came from the shipping channel which is located close to the Oregon side of the river in the Tena Bar area.  It is not very likely that a dredge could pick up something as small as a nail, and even if it could how did the nail get into the shipping channel.

Palmer mentions nails in his report.

Agents who actually worked the beach could learn a lot from you. Did you know that Portland is close to Tena Bar? Some of the Portland agents spent years fishing at Tena Bar. LE that live in a place often get to know the place they live in ? Some of my family have lived in the area since 19 and 32 after Kate and her husband went out there on a trip. You can see some of these people in the picture of chaos - attachmont.  Katy and X got married and raised four children in the Portland-Vancouver area. Because they loved skiing they got to know one of the Tell Tena daughters - the family that sold the Fazio farmers their land!

Feel free to disprove either point 1 or point 2.

I will ask Katy and her husband who dug the beach.  Feel free to disprove that! Good luck with your movie script or whatever it is.

While you're at it, why don't you ask the Fazios who also dug the beach.

Like it or not Georger, I probably know more about that beach than anyone.

Really!    Im just trying to figure out who your audience is?  The world, the FBI, the choir that read this forum, people in Mexico, the guys in the bar ... ?

What's  your game plan here?  An Emmy ?  A Martha?  . . .   

Money sinks after being wet for fifteen minutes... not sure what the argument here is. R99, do you believe Cooper buried the money?

GEORGER I'm trying to understand your point. What are you attempting to prove?

I've spent an enormous amount of time analyzing Tena Bar from afar as well as on the ground. This last trip I spent time noting the layers of earth that make-up Tena Bar, identifying trees, even got drone footage. That's called research. What's wrong with that?

What have you done? What insight can you provide regarding Tena Bar or the money find? If you have any I'd love to hear it if it's not BS. After all, I'm attempting to understand precisely what happened at Tena Bar because I believe it's the Holy Grail in this case as it pertains to what happened and where.

My pov is quite simple:  the money find is nothing but an artifact 'of the case'. The money find is not the case, and not the whole case.

But, my case facts are different from your 'case conjectures'.

That's the difference. Im not peddling a tv or movie production!  I have no vested interest other than the "facts" of the case. One glaring fact about this case is: there is a huge lack of unimpeachable facts.  The gap includes everything from aspects of the flight path, when and where Cooper bailed and landed, and a lack of forensic facts about the money due to people's lack of laboratory testing when testing could and should have been done. That's the short version of my POV.   

There is nothing glamorous about my pov.
