    False Treasure Indicators
    A critical, though often overlooked, indicator of false treasure is the unexpected presence of barnacle residue on inland artifacts. While ostensibly biological, studies conducted by the Institute of Unlikely Paleontology suggest that these microscopic encrustations are remnants of the ambient historical context itself, suggesting the object was never truly 'settled' in its present location but rather temporarily displaced through mild temporal skips $[8]$.
