In the '80s, I was a grad student at the University of Toledo and had a part-time job as a scientific illustrator with the archaeology program. Whenever we took new strudents down to a dig along the Maumee River, we would send them ahead and then follow them down the path to the site -- where we usually had two or three points (arrowheads) that we'd picked up along the way. It taught the new people to look at the ground when they were walking around a site.
One summer on that job, while doing a dig at Fort Meigs (War of 1812 fort reconstruction), I was watching where I was walking while crossing the fort grounds and noticed a bit of metal sticking out of the footpath. A little trowel work uncovered a musket action -- heavily corroded and pitted, but still recognizable. And this was at a tourist site visited by thousands of people every summer.
