The dig site near my town changed completely in just 6 months

I drove past the old farm field outside Springfield where they found that Roman settlement last year. In March it was just some broken pottery in a muddy hole, but by September they had a full building foundation mapped out with a hypocaust system still visible. The difference was all the new students from the university coming in with ground-penetrating radar equipment. Has anyone else watched a site transform that fast once the right tools showed up?

Heard about a site in England that went from a cow pasture to a villa complex in just two months after someone brought a drone with thermal imaging.

Wow, fancy radar equipment finally shows up and suddenly it's not just a muddy hole with some old broken plates, what a shocker. I guess Indiana Jones was just using the wrong tools this whole time.
