After digging to a depth of 10 feet last year outside Buffalo, New York,
scientists found traces of copper cable dating back 100 years.
They came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a
telephone network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers,
in the weeks that followed, a Los Angeles, California archaeologist
dug to a depth of 20 feet somewhere just outside Oceanside.
Shortly afterward, a story in the LA Times read,
"California archaeologists, reporting a finding of 200 year old
copper cable, have concluded that their ancestors already had an
advanced high-tech
communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers."
One week later, a local newspaper in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
reported, "After digging 30 feet deep in his pasture near the community of
Kindersley, Saskatchewan , Ole Olson, a heck of an engineer and a
self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely
nothing.
Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Saskatchewan had
already gone wireless."
Just makes a person proud to be from Saskatchewan ...

Re: For the History Buffs!!
Had me going for a minute
Reminds me of the report of the 2 seater light aircraft that crashed into an Irish Churchyard, after extensive digging rescuers had so far recovered 58 bodies.
