Last January, the New Orleans Times Picayune reported that a Cajun amateur archeologist having dug to a depth of 10-meters 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 Cajuns, in the weeks that followed, Texan scientists dug to a depth of 20-meters. Shortly after, headlines in the Dallas Morning News read: " Texas archaeologists have found traces of 200-year old copper wire, and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network one hundred years earlier than the Cajuns."
One week later, The Clarion Ledger, of Jackson MS, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30-meters in fields near Itta Bena, MS Bubba Williams, a self- taught archeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago in Mississippi they were already using wireless."
