FLYJACK

There was a Skychef "owned" restaurant at PDX in Nov 1971..

More detailed,,, All particles are not from a single source.. Silicon, Alumina, Titanium, Calcium, Sodium etc and rare earths... matched.. and it is not from inside the USA... All of these from one source... Who, What, Where, When and Why..

Got it,, found a match for the tie particles..

Nope, your analysis is consistently poor.... But you guys are wrong.. Palmer got it right, he is a Geologists not a California pot head and can recognize attrition due to rolling/tumbling on objects.. I have read a lot of research on this and the shape of the packets is 100% consistent with attrition caused by tumbling impacts on the bottom of the River.. For a rectangular shaped object, first the corners get rounded off then a convex shape is formed.. the ends wear off more than the middle top/bottom.. If the erosion was in situ it would be more random around the outside and not as symmetrical.. Interestingly, the concave shape suggests it was not tumbling long.. more time would cause it to reduce down closer to a "circle" shape... that is consistent with Tom's finding that the money could not travel far... So, the money rolled/tumbled along the bottom of the River but not far perhaps a few miles and that matches Frenchman's Bar,, a public beach with easy access,,, The best. simplest and most plausible TBAR theory that fits the physical evidence is that the money went into the River at Frenchman's Bar closer to the money find in Spring/Summer... we just don't know who did it? I have another good theory for Spring 1972 but I think the other one is best.. I'll be here all week, try the veal...

Your creepy Georger love fest aside.. Did you put the rubber bands in the sand.. it gets very very hot. Rubber bands melt due to heat, UV, ozone or chemical reaction..

You guys are the ones with no facts... as usual. No mechanism for the erosion pattern on the bills... Nobody has any evidence or even an explanation other than tumbling/rolling. No explanation/evidence for the diatoms inside the bills if the money didn't come from the River,, the bills fanned out in the River.. the no silt on stuck samples argument makes no sense. The evidence suggests the money came from the River,,, this is really simple. There are no facts that contradict this.. it is the best and simplest theory... Resistance is futile.

Silt in the Columbia is not simple..

I have been saying there were two rubber bands for ages... It doesn't have to be a spring a flood, the money was found at the high water line.. well below flood stage. You don't need a flood and who cares what Cooperites believe. The FBI tested the money for sand and it matched the River.... Where were the pieces Tom tested located on the bills... As for the silt.. Tom looked at a sample, not all the bills.. You extrapolate that sample to claim all bills... I just don't believe that if there was silt in the River it would not be on the money buried in the sand.. the lack of silt on Tom's sample does not contradict the money coming from the River.. If there was silt in the River it would be in the sand.. Why no silt then.. Either there was no silt in the River or Tom's sample didn't have silt and other parts would. The lack of silt on Tom's test sample doesn't mean what you think it does. There may be some explanation for it. You are making a lot of assumptions to discredit a theory but ZERO facts. Tom did not test all the money.

There is NO contradictory evidence,, NONE.. The money fanned out is a general claim,, that test Tom did had one rubber band in the center of one packet,,, What happens with two rubber bands around three packets perhaps paper bands as well, some fanning out at the ends?? Clearly not as much as Tom's experiment. I still don't get the no silt thing... if there is silt in the River it is in the sand.. if it is in the sand it would get on the money like the diatoms.. there is probably some explanation.. But the abrasion pattern is consistent with tumbling/rolling abrasion.. Palmer a GEOLOGIST thought so and I actually thought it before Palmer's stuff was released in the files.. all you need to do is look at it.. Unless you are blind, it is clearly consistent... Even if you question the tumbling/rolling abrasion pattern the most likely source for the money is from the River.. the abrasion just supports that.

You essentially claim Diatoms got in but not silt on a few tested stuck bills somehow proves the money did not come from the River.. Nonsense. Even Tom won't claim the money could not have come from the River. The best and most logical theory is that the money came from the River... it sinks so it is suspended on the bottom pushed by current, the bottom is abrasive sand... the uniform abrasion pattern on the packets is consistent with a tumbling/rolling action. There were no identifiable frags found from the outside edges. This is simple... silt has nothing to with it. Tom did not test all the bills. The money could have been in the River less than an hour.. I find it bizarre that no silt was found even after being buried... surely there is some silt in the sand. Perhaps just those pieces Tom tested.. Regardless, your assumption proves nothing. and, nobody has shown the mechanism to produce the erosion pattern on the packets in situ... nobody

The airstairs were both gravity drop and hydraulic assist depending on how you operated them..

It is a true statement.. The diatoms indicate spring/summer, they could not penetrate the sand... the erosion and rubber bands indicate closer to the money find.. Palmer and the FBI believed this was the best theory.. (before diatom stuff) Ryan claims there is no plausible explanation... of course there is... it has been right there the entire time... All of you just won't accept the obvious.. We just don't know who caused it to go into the River.. A stew? somebody he paid for a ride? somebody found some money? I bet it was tossed in at Frenchman's Bar,,,

That bill looks nothing like Cooper money.. are you blind as well.. Light on why,,, if I knew why I why I would know who,, what a ridiculous comment.. I posted what the facts suggest,, others are making up nonsense that is not supported by anything but their imaginations..

TBAR is easy.. The money went into the River in Spring/Summer probably close to the money find time.. It rolled along the bottom to its spot when the River was higher... The only mystery is how or who caused it go into the River... Cooper likely.. either gave it to somebody and they tossed it somebody found some and tossed it. The image of buried money Ryan showed looks nothing like TBAR... these guys are amateurs claiming it matches... I have found lots of buried money images and none are consistent with TBAR... Palmer was a geologist and even he recognized the uniform abrasion pattern and concluded it was from rolling/tumbling...

You prematurely eliminated him based on assumptions... and have heavy confirmation bias,.. that isn't my fault.. There is no upside in discussing my research with somebody so compromised. You even stated that utilizing the rear airstairs was not an improvement... crazy.. You aren't worthy...
