An amateur archaeologist searching in a cave for ancient Native American art found charcoal drawings that date back more than 1,000 years. Dan Arnold made the discovery in 1998 but kept the find secret until officials could map the cave, photograph the art and construct an iron gate to prevent thieves or vandals from getting in. Authorities are not revealing the site, which is somewhere in southeastern Wisconsin. The artists are thought to be from today's Ho-Chunk tribe.
