Is there anyone here than believes the money found on Tina Bar was a plant, and why, or how would you come to this conclusion.
I tend more towards dredging - because I think that is one method that explains a lot -- and, even with all the ifs, ands, and buts, no one that I know of has been able to successfully and definitively counter the dredging argument.
No one yet has been able to explain planting in any way that makes sense. To me, Duane throwing it off the bridge makes more sense than a purposeful plant.
Im not sure past posts settled questions about this dredging process itself. Was bottom sediment sucked off the bottom then deposited directly on Tina's Bar, or was it placed in a holding tank first before pumping? Or does it even matter? The dredging company reported (to the FBI) they were confident nothing could have escaped the auger in this dredge. Snowmman thought he had found exceptions to this rule?
If I recall correctly, this dredge pumped directly onto the beach. No holding tank. Thus, there was a lot of water passing with sediment, a lot of sediment slide back into the water (see large bumps showing this in the 1974 USGS photos), the Fazio's had to wait several several days to a week for the material to settle and dry before they could spread, ... so a holding tank was not involved in this operation.
So let's say the dredge destroys say 95-97% of of the total bag of bundles. That leaves something less than $10k dollars, several bundles. The total waste is then pumped onto the bar, and spread by tractor. That might result in a few bundles grouped at one site with a debris field of fragments nearby? Why then are no fragments or the Ingram find noticed as soon as the new waste settles out and people are using the bar again... daily?
What we need is something that positively connects the money to the dredge sediment itself, that was put on Tina Bar. That identification could depend on forensic chemistry.
The question I have about a dredging theory is: how does the moneybag become a part of the bottom sediment off Tina's Bar, to be dredged in 1974? And if you consider bundles alone vs the whole bag of money, the question is even more problematic. But, a dredging and spreading scenario could explain the morphology of the money find.. if you include a debris field.
A plant theory requires a conspiracy and actors, almost inevitably, imho.
No explanation to date seems simple and connected to basic facts like the flight path. That imo is where the problem is.
