Yep this is one of those jewels I get in emails.
Copper Wire
After having dug to a depth of 10 yards 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, California scientists dug to a depth of 20 yards, and shortly after, headlines in the LA Times newspaper read: 'California archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and 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 "The Valdosta Daily Times", a local newspaper in Georgia, reported the following:
After digging as deep as 30 yards in cotton fields near Adel in Cook County, Bubba Johnson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Georgia had already gone wireless.
Have a good one.

And, by the way, is that what happened to our electricity? Digging them up when they just buried them... about 30 years ago, I believe.
