After the Ingrams reported their discovery,' the FBI immediately cor- doned off a section of beach behind the truck and dairy farm operated by the New Columbia Gardens Co. Fifteen to.20 FBI agents dressed in blue jeans and using shovels and rakes they had brought from their homes sifted through sand and driftwood along a 150-yard stretch around where the Ingrams found the cash. *Working from 10 a.m. until dusk yesterday, they found a few bits of bills buried from a half-foot to 3 feet beneath the surface near where the campfire had been. The FBI expected to use a backnoe today to dig even deeper. DB Cooper-25896Baker said one of the first chores for the agency will be to attempt to find how the money got to the beach. He said the FBI believes the money was washed up on the shoreline at a time when the Columbia was running high. He said experts in hydrology and topography would be consulted to determine how the money got to the beach. The FBI has meticulously reconstructed flight conditions that existed at the time Cooper is believed to have jumped.
