Here's an interesting article from the Smithsonian Magazine about people making a living by finding things of value in London sewers in the 1850's. It notes a surprising detail--that this work could make a person some decent money.
But those guys must have been tough as nails, or at least had cast iron immune systems!! And noses that could be turned off!!
Here's the link.

I told my parents about this factual article and they were dually impressed.
