Skeptic
I'm a skeptic on this.
I would like to see it investigated by real scientists, not creation "scientists."
As I recall, they find the ark every year or so up in those mountains somewhere. And every find has its diehard adherents.
I'll wait for some real evidence, not something witnessed to by some group of evangelicals whose who goal is to find the ark.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Re: Skeptic
and there's no major interruption in the culture...
Same for pretty much all the rest of the world. And just one such example is sufficient to disprove a global flood about 4,350 years ago.
And then there all the other sciences and -ologies that show the same thing.
These creation "scientists" have a significant hurdle to overcome if they are going to show that that really is the ark.

Difficulties in digging...
...does anyone know the difficulties involved in such a dig???
Yes. Doing such a dig in the US would be difficult. At minimum you are looking at a lot of money and effort. I've run several digs where we had to pack everything in on mules--just a few miles--and that gets to be a logistical nightmare pretty quickly. And that's before you try to dig into frozen ground on the top of a mountain miles from anything.
Also, evangelicals are not the ones to do such a dig. You saw how easily they were persuaded that they had the "truth" and how easily they fooled themselves. Such a dig needs to be done by professionals who know what they are doing and who are skeptics.

Not Up There. Not anywhere.
Buz, what about all of the evidence that shows there was no global flood some 4,350 years ago?
How can you ignore that in favor of what really amount to a tribal myth? That flood myth was already old when it was included in the bible.
