Varmint guy that would have been me! I'd have done the same thing. I have a twin brother that ha the same interests as me. It doesn't matter if it is an arrowhead lying in a field or a Marlin 336 T at a gun show, between us is isn't who saw it first, it is who has his hands on it first....If I want something at a gun show or knife show, I never lay it down.
I've never found anything on an ant hill, but the other day I got excited about finding a chip of flint on a gopher turtle mound in an area where we have never seen any flint before. It was almost as good as finding an arrowhead. And I grabbed it even though my brother was 10 miles away.
