The theater/temple of San Nicola near Caserta, Italy, was rediscovered by chance in 2000 by a paraglider. It's 2100 years old and hosts a theater and a temple on the same hill 520 high (i0.wp.com)

Scanning every square meter of land looking for archeological sites is not something people usually do

no but the problem here is rediscovered implies that we just "forgot about it"

like how you rediscover that one pair of socks you had. It wasn't under thirty feet of dirt, it was just in a drawer somewhere.
