If there are infinite numbers then there must be an infinite of mathematical discoveries you can make.

Yes anon, mathematics has a term for those. "Trivial"
Finding the 6821973rd prime is not a discovery of any significance to anyone

No, out of the infinite numbers only a finite number of them can actually be properly defined and enumerated while there are infinite numbers that are outside of that scope, so while there is a finite number of mathematical things you can potentially discover there are an infinite number of things you can not ever possibly discover.
