There is certainly compelling evidence to link the two bounties. According to 1901 reports, 500 coins were stolen by Dimmick - only 73 coins less than the 1,427 discovered at Saddle Ridge.
Somewhere there is a math major, or a numismatist, or a copy editor, or a detective who can make sense of this statement.
