"Preliminary data from the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, indicates that the mission successfully uncovered water during the Oct. 9, 2009 impacts into the permanently shadowed region of Cabeus cater near the moon’s south pole.
The impact created by the LCROSS Centaur upper stage rocket created a two-part plume of material from the bottom of the crater. The first part was a high angle plume of vapor and fine dust and the second a lower angle ejecta curtain of heavier material. This material has not seen sunlight in billions of years"2 ( this article was from 11/13/09)
I included a video of the preliminary findings.
Hope this helps!

The Indian Chandrayaan-1 lunar spacecraft identified large amounts of ice at the Moon's pole. The ice is found in the craters

Yes, they have found water on the moon! They sent the satellite, LCROSS, up there to crash so it could measure the amount of water, of which there is approximately 24 gallons. There is a great article on this that talks about what this means for us now. Visit it here.
