Artifacts - some info, please

For this discussion, I will refer to Cave Art, Fossils, Glyphs and Trilobytes as "artifacts" to make the typing easier. I have searched for this information and have not found it. Here is what I would like to know:
1. Must your pet be on the ground to discover an artifact, or may he be floating?
2. What is the area (in squares) in which the pet must be to sense the artifact (e.g. 3 squares x 3 squares)?
3. Can your pet sense an artifact if you are constantly moving or must you be relatively still (like mining a certain area)?
4. Is it possible that a mine might contain more than one artifact?
5. Is it possible that a mine might not contain any artifacts at all?
Thank you for any help you can give. Please only respond or comment if you are sure of your answer, as I am looking for verified information, not guesses or suppositions. Also if you have experience that answers these questions, you might consider adding to the Wiki as there is very little information about pets and none that I could find about artifacts.
Thanks again,
Shaanti

2. idk I think 5x5
3. It will sense the artifact if you're moving. A "!" will appear and disappear if you're moving, then return to this area and the "!" will stay :)
4. I really don't know, but i'd say no.
5. yeah
2. As far as I remember, the range is increasing as the lvl of pets are getting higher I just dont remember what specific lvl they start to add the range, i think it was 3x3 - 4x4 - 5x5...
3. yes they could still sense it as long as you're near the "Artifact" or the range where the pet could still detect it.
4. Not sure too, but I think yes cause the mines are generated randomly so might be that
5. same as #4 ^
I haven't actually searched up for a particular artifact but I mine a lot and most of the artifacts I got came from tropical mines, cause it is very visible due to the large area of water...
They won't if u place them at that moment
But if u place it then leave and come back, go near it, then it will sense it.
If it still deosnt sense it, it's probably a bug like Kurt said
Some mines have no artifacts at all.
