Yes. I am the one that got the audio and there is more that I am working on recovering. It's probably the most important piece of outstanding evidence to date and I'm glad that I was able to bring it to the community. Ryan did an amazing job cleaning the audio up because what I got was rough.

The diatoms found on the money represent the time/season that it was exposed to the water. But does that mean the only time the money was exposed, or just the last time it was. As in, would a newer season's water wash off the old diatoms while depositing the newer ones? As in, could the money have been in the water longer than the found diatoms indicate?Good questions!

I will try to get that up next. Ron’s presentation was one of the highlights for sure. The biggest thing in it was he summarized the amount of water force needed to displace items of varying scales and he essentially said you can displace sand without more easily displacing the money at the same time. He said it’s theoretically impossible for the river to bury the money. He had like a graph of all kinds of items and basically said the ones that required more force to displace than sand could self bury but everything under it couldn't. Also he poured cold water on Tom's diatom assertion by saying that the diatoms could have penetrated the sand and gotten to the money post burial. I don't think he's technically right but after a lot of AI powered research I think it is technically possible but extremely unlikely. The sand would have to be extremely coarse which I understand to not be typical for riverine sand. He agrees the diatoms Tom found (astrionella formosa) were 80-100 microns and you'd need to have a crazy pore throat in the sand filter to get through. He accepted the push back pretty well but wouldn't fully give in.

The original site was shut down, likely due to hosting costs, and while a new version was brought back online with the same IP address, it has since become unavailable.
The site my be gone for good....
People posted at Reddit about it - Messo replied and explained the Dropzone domain had been sold. Then the Cooper thread came back with a new url: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login ............... that was there for about a month with only Fly Jack posting, then nothing .......... only time will tell. Chaucer and I have been in contact today about Tena Bar and other matters ....
