Items we come across in the woods
Does anyone recall D.B. Cooper?
He's an American Folk hero. Didn't exactly commandeer a 727 but they landed and provided a huge ransom in cash, they took off and he bailed-out of the rear hatch over the Columbia River gorge I think around 5,500 feet. Lot's of piles of $20 bills were found but not the majority of the stash, no one ever found his chute or other evidence (in other words - he got away with it).
He's reported to have settled in Texas, grew fat and started a meth lab until he got busted but was never implicated as the D.B. that did the deed.
The area the remnants of bucks were found were stands of old growth cedar and some pines, some selective logging was going on and I suspect some of our types of guys suddenly happened upon some party money. More power to them. It would've been the kind of party I like to frequent. This is the kind of archeology I'd like to uncover someday - the only report of a significant find I can relay is a human skeleton, still rotting with some goose-down vest left on the torso. The cops who responded trested me like I was the guy who killed him. ???????s. It turned-out to be an Alzheimer's run away from a nursing home 20 miles away a month before. I am wondering about East Texas now, where debris from the shuttle landed - it's all forested and logged intensely.
WE have arrowheads here by the zillions, mostly on top and near mounds that indicated years of fire building and napping flint. Most are of the Pedernales (kind of like a Clovis point) variety, reported to be around 5,000 years old. I have hundreds of them.

Its cold to work, there should be many new threads and replys to old.
