Funny to see something like this here. I went with my dad on some airplane wreck hunts when I was younger, though none quite as epic as this one. You'd really be surprised how complete some of these plane wrecks are if they are hard to get to. One I recall was a F-104 thunderchief. It was just amazing to me that they didn't try to remove any of this stuff: https://imgur.com/a/5uToG

A old friend of mine and I visited a corn field in Nebraska ten years ago in search of some wreckage left behind from a crash in 1966. With the help of a metal detector we located metal identification plates, various small pieces of metal, and an ash tray (smoking on planes was once a thing). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braniff_Flight_250
