Operation T-Bar never got off the ground...I was hit with  Hurricane, friend dying in the hospital and an extremely heavy workload that one member didn't agree with and caused the end of a relationship..that's the bottom line to what happened..

That is too bad, Tom Kayes test aside, the deterioration rate of the rubber bands may have helped with understanding a deposit timeframe.

there is a test on going now...Galen and some guy has had money buried over a year or two...rubber bands still attached..

interesting, did they use new and old rubber bands?

If the money was deposited years after the hijacking the bands would have been partially deteriorated, changing the rate.

yes, but still he bands are in good condition after 9 months..

They are new bands..  they should have also buried 5, 6, 7, 8 year old bands.

I seem to remember TK posting that he had been some ongoing tests that had been in progress for several years using soil and water from Tina Bar.  I believe he said the last time he checked, the bills and rubber bands were still looking great.

it doesn't match where Tom was...his cords are extremely close to the northern spoil..the landscape doesn't match the video..I see so many problems with this position...

Did anyone ever contact BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING U.S. Department of the Treasury Mutilated currency. They have extensive experience with damaged money,

here it is...

Does this match Kaye's coordinates?

Here is Kaye's overlay chart from his original website. Shows todays road vs road in 1980.

Keep in mind that the map horizontal grid system changed in the early 1980s to WGS84 from the grid system that existed at the time of the money find in 1980.  I believe that the largest change in an East-West direction at Tina Bar (and keeping in mind that the river runs from the South to the North there) is about 190 feet.  And the largest change in a North-South direction is only about 10 feet (which would be parallel to the water flow at Tina Bar).

Information is online for making changes between the above grid systems.

The vertical datum was also changed in the 1980s and the correction for these changes are given in the USA COE water data for the Vancouver/Portland gage.

And it must be remembered that the GPS coordinates are in WGS84 as are current aeronautical charts.
