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 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, a local newspaper in Wyoming reported the following:
“After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Worland , Fred, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing.   He has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Wyoming had already gone wireless.”
