After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and 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 California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story in the LA Times read:

'California archaeologists, finding traces of 200 year old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had
an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.'

One week later, The Cavalier Chronical, a local newspaper in North Dakota, reported the following:
After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Langdon, North Dakota, Ole Olson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, North Dakota had already gone wireless.
