* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' added the Archaeology profession in its Cataclysm expansion. This involves visiting designated areas of the world map and using a skill that causes a theodolite to materialize on the ground next to your character showing the approximate angle and distance to buried artifact fragments in that area. Once you identify the location of the fragments, using the skill in that location digs them up. The fragments can be assembled into items of [[VendorTrash varying values]] and degrees of usefulness.

** And then there's the GSI droid, which can also be used to locate buried loot. Also a pain, in that it doesn't tell you the distance to the object, but it does give you a general direction. "General" in this case meaning somewhere in a 180-degree arc unless you buy items to temporarily increase its accuracy.
