Hopefully they find lost ancient technology.

The Antikythera mechanism, found in a Roman-era shipwreck off the coast of Antikythera, Greece, is an ancient Greek device that is widely considered the oldest known analog computer. It is not a 3000-year-old digital computer, but rather a hand-powered orrery (a mechanical model of the solar system) with intricate gears and inscriptions.
Here's more about the Antikythera mechanism:
Discovery:
It was discovered in 1901 by Greek sponge divers among the wreckage of a trading ship.
Purpose:
It was likely used to predict astronomical events like eclipses and to track the movements of celestial bodies.
Construction:
The device is made of bronze and contains dozens of gears, making it a complex piece of engineering for its time.
Age:
While its exact age is debated, it is generally dated to around 150-100 BC.
Significance:
The Antikythera mechanism is significant because it demonstrates a level of technological sophistication in ancient Greece that was previously unknown.
Ongoing research:
Scientists continue to study the mechanism using modern imaging techniques to better understand its function and construction.

Man, I wanna get in on this action. I hope to be working a dig here on the Big Island early next year!.

Sorry about that. Some of us from Wisconsin were there before you
