Tena Bar Money Find
georger:
Tom shared this photo and said I could post it - Tom found it in the archive at Seattle. He said it was the only photo of its kind and there were no photos of the separate bills comprising the Ingram find. Tom has no further details about this photo. It looks like a snapshot maybe from a small 35mm camera? Note the round corners on the photo stock.

Very cool pic.
Given that it makes sense that the edges of the bills would be the most brittle, and that the Ingrams "washed" the bills at home before they were turned over to the FBI, I wonder how much of the brittle edges were simply washed down the sink leaving what we see in the above photo.

who knows - key is the phrase "tried to wash". The Ingrams didnt pull all of the groups of bills apart and wash each and every bill ... they just tried to make what they had more presentable. Photos suggest they separated out appox twelve groups ...?
BTW, almost immediately after the excavation ended people moved in to explore and dig Tina bar, including Richard Tosaw. By 1985 Tosaw was still exploring Tina Bar, digging it up with a roto-tiller! Tosaw's methods werent always 'elegant'! There used to be a video of that here: [Still looking for D.B. Cooper 12:07 PM MST on Thursday, May 26, 2005 By CHRIS INGALLS / KING 5 News ]

Obviously there has been a lot of discussion with respect to the precise location of the money find. I have studied this extensively and just got back from visiting Tena Bar yesterday for multiple hours and closely analyzing the area and comparing it to footage from 1980. My goal was to establish the precise money find spot. To that end, I can report that I have done just that.
The actual spot is 45° 43’ 06” N, 122° 45’ 33” W. This spot is about 10 feet offshore. Additionally, it’s about 120 or so feet north of the yellow pin location on Tom Kaye's website—meaning it’s actually further away from the dredge spoil spread. (To be clear, the coordinates were generated by me utilizing Google Earth on my iPhone after leaving the area and pinning the spot.)
A significant portion of the 1980 road near the money find spot is no longer there due to erosion. Furthermore, there has been a lot of new tree growth in the area since 1980. While the area is almost unrecognizable, a close analysis did provide enough data to work with to help me establish the spot.

Obviously Tom will disagree. And how did you come to these astounding conclusions? So you are saying the Ingrams lead the FBI to the wrong place! ? And the whole 1980 excavation was in the wrong place!
Have you got any other "news" ? :o
Are you saying the whole Ingram-FBI money find was "staged"? Who is working with you on this?
You or somebody post a picture of what you are claiming.
