I think all of these are good, and I want to hear more ideas (I will be adding a few of mine tomorrow).

As per this artifact by Draco, Prof. Draco wrote: James Riley's Artifact: When artifact signals were detected by Warehouse 12 in Newton, Kansas, agents were surprised to discover that not only could they not identify the artifact, they may never recover it. Young James Riley had avenged the death of his mentor by shooting down two of his killers, then walked into the desert and vanished. Taking the artifact with him. Whether or not the artifact is still out somewhere in the Nevada desert is unknown.

If the artifact was being used, the Warehouse would detect the pings. Since they haven't, it's safe to assume that for one reason or another it's been unused since that day. This was also in the 1870s.

why could it not be dormant? So what if its from the 1870s? The Sodom and Gomorrah Salt Mask was created thousands of years ago, but it avoided notice until recently.
