ahemm ... found in 1991 by a non archie who told the state about it -- clearly the guy they sent before failed to "find" it back then --now its been "refound" by todays archies --- once again someone hands them the "prize" for finding something that some else found long before they knew of it . pitiful that the real discover gets only a very breif bit of credit .

It is too bad that the original discoverer doesn't get credit for the find. Nevertheless it is still important that these finds occur so that the government doesn't shut us down.

if the govt ever shut us down --who would find stuff for em? --seems the "public" finds stuff for em all the time then just turns it in / over to em --nice work if you can get it. --- we the public can exist without them -- they however can't exist without us -- big govt is like a leech it needs a host to feed on .
