OK. This sounds made up, but I want it to be true? Apparently sometimes ants find garnets while digging their nests. The ants think "useless rock" and add it to the hill outside where it may be found by people who love shiny little stones.

@futurebird slightly different, but when I was a kid we found a hide scraper sitting on top of a gopher mound, unearthed from some buried archaeological site by a rodent. I wonder if my dad still has it

@futurebird Also ants sometimes find little fossil mammal teeth and deposit them outside the nest. A major source of Cretaceous mammal fossils for paleontologists.
