Donald,
Maybe you didn't get to document this discovery, but I bet people like Feldman and Schoose would NEVER let something like this stay under the table forever. Take a look at the H.E.A.T. Crew:

Notice they have an Archaeologist and a Documentary Film Maker. I bet there is ample footage and that the site was well documented by their Archaeologist.

I believe the H.E.A.T. dig was a different animal altogether. IMHO, they used that dig as a cover for whatever was taken out of the "Silver Chief". Beyond that, it's really more than possible (likely) that there were some "officials" who were part of the Pit Mine excavation. I know of at least two men who were "silently" involved.
Without the help of one of those men, there would have been no discovery of the Pit Mine.
All of the above is just my, somewhat, informed opinion.
Take care,
Joe
