If you or anyone know of any more cave finds I would like to know about them. I am seeing on the internet "multiple copies." Now I see about two, maybe three. Before I go saying "multiple" I'd like to see a few more, but this certainly helps.

I believe this is everything. But i would not be surprised if there were fragments which have not surfaced.
There are other "Enochan" books on the disk, such as the Book of the Giants and The Genesis apocryphon.
I think your objections are certainly reasonable. The one about us not being sure if we have the book from which Jude quotes is a bit of a stretch though. Just read a bit more from scroll scholars who are not Enoch apologists and I think that objection will disolve, no doubt others will sprout though.
In any case, this objection may go away permanently in our lifetime...
Avi Katzman, in
Understanding the Dead Sea Scrolls, on p. 262, reports a complete copy of Enoch in Aramaic has already been found, "Regarding the scrolls, [John] Strugnell claims at least four other scrolls have been found that have not yet come to light: 'I've seen, with my own eyes, two.' One of the two is a complete copy of the book of Enoch. According to Strugnell, Israeli archaeologist Yigael Yadin is the reason these scrolls have still not come into scholarly hands. After the Six-Day War, Yadin confiscated the famous Temple Scroll from a Bethlehem antiquities dealer known as Kando. Yadin paid Kando $250,000, according to Strugnell (according to Yadin, the sum was $105,000), to encourage anyone else with scroll materials to come forward. But this was not enough, says Strugnell: 'Yadin gave Kando two hundred fifty thousand dollars where we'd offered Kando one million five weeks earlier. When the owners of the manuscripts heard that, they just crossed the Jordan River.' These scrolls, like the Temple Scroll, came from Cave 11 at Qumran, according to Strugnell. The manuscripts are now 'somewhere in Jordan. Various people own them. Several of them have been sold to big bankers. They're investments for these people. There's no point in forcing a sale. If they really need cashas one seems to nowI have the money.'
"As for the other two scrollsthe ones Strugnell has not seen '[Lankester] Harding [the director of Jordan's Department of Antiquities] on his death bed told me he'd seen three, only one of which I've seenso that makes four.'
"Strugnell is not concerned that the scrolls may deteriorate before scholars can look at them: 'They're all being kept very carefully; no one need worry about them. They're a better investment than anything on the Israeli or the New York stock exchanges,' he added."
In this light consider the following from Michael Wise, in
A New Translation - The Dead Sead Scrolls, p. 279, "No trace of the Parables of Enoch has been discovered at Qumran, and it is widely considered today to be a composition of the later first century C.E. If a pre-Christian copy of the Parables were ever discovered, it would create a sensation, since it is the only text besides the Christian Gospels that uses the title 'Son of Man' for the heavenly Savior of Israel."
Stated another way, here are the parts of Enoch that are attested to in the DSS:
1:1-6
1:9-5:6
5:9-9:4
9:6-8
10:3-4
10:8-19
10:21-11:1
12:3
13:6-14:16
18:8-12
22:13-24:1
25:7-27:1
28:3-29:2
30:1-32:6
33:3-34:1
35(?)
36:1-4
74:1-2 or 78:9-12?
76:3-77:4
78:6-8
79:2-5
82:9-13
86:1-3
88:3-89:6
89:7-16
89:27-36
89:43-44
91:11-92:2
92:5-93:4
93:9-94:2
103:3-4
104:13-106:2
106:13-107:2
Here is the translation of 1:9 from the scrolls [brackets consist of reconstruction]:
4Q204 (4QEnc ar) 4QEnochc ar Col. i (Enoch 1:9)
Line 15 [when he comes with the myri]ads of [his] holy ones [to carry out the sentence against everyone; and he will destroy all the wicked]
Line 16 [and he will accuse all fl]esh for [all their wicked] deed[s which they have committed by word and by deed]
Line 17 [and for all their] arrogant and wicked [words which wicked sinners have directed against him.]
For me, despite the fragmentary nature of this portion (they're not all as bad as this) of the scroll, I find it persuasive when taken with the rest of the fragments that we are able to corroborate that we have a complete copy of the Book of Enoch in Ethiopic.
