Man, good eyes.

I used to live in Oregon and I'd go looking for arrowheads in the Coast Range sometimes on the weekends, and never could get my eyes to adjust to seeing them in all the organic matter, dirt same color as obsidian, etc, too many distraction for my brain. Out here it's more stark contrast, and easier to spot.
