Hi Cate,

Well, for what it's worth, yesterday afternoon, I couldn't miss.  I was getting 
nearly every artifact.  Today I haven't gotten a single. one.  And it seems to 
me like I'm doing the same thing, but I'm having a harder time getting them in 
the center for some reason.  So yeah, sometimes it is frustrating. :)
Cheers,
Donna
