Generally, students have to travel a good distance to find something cool.
But anthropology and archaeology students at Michigan State got to do a dig on their own campus after their professor located the foundations of the university's original observatory, built in around 1881. The observatory was replaced in the 1960s and everyone forgot it was there until construction workers hit "a large rock."
That makes me excited as a former archaeology student. They can learn a lot from comparing their finds to the historical record and images.
