After a visit to Pompeii, I saw a new fresco discovery that wasn't even in the guidebooks yet.

Sounds cool but how big of a deal is it really? New stuff gets dug up there all the time.

Honestly, @kelly.michael, I'd probably trip over a find and not notice. But when stuff survives saltwater, it gives real clues about their gear. That's not just another dig, it's key info.

Ever think about what's not there? Weird metal bits or tools that just rot away. Saltwater wrecking stuff for thousands of years means finding any actual gear is huge. Changes the whole story of how they worked.
