Not metal detecting, but still pretty cool. There's more to the article than I posted, but the first paragraph or so gives the gist of it.

Young N.M. hiker finds prehistoric bowl
SILVER CITY, N.M. - A Texas teenager has found what one archaeologist at the Gila Cliff Dwellings in southwestern New Mexico describes as a "pretty big deal."
Andrew Connell, 15, was on a hike with his classmates in the Gila Wilderness this spring when the group was distracted by what sounded like an owl. While looking for the bird, he spotted something among the rocks and oak leaves.
It ended up being an almost intact prehistoric bowl that dates back to the time when the Mogollon people lived in the area.
"It's a pretty big deal. To find something intact where it's been for 1,000 years is pretty unusual," said Gila archaeologist Carol Telles.
spiffy!
