New Minecraft archaeology mechanics

If you throw an item on the ground and wait for at least 5 minutes the item would normally disappear and there would be no getting them back, but thanks to Archeology you can brush them out of the surrounding dirt. You won't retrieve all of the items but it's still enough to get you started.

The items would still float and around the time they're supposed to disappear they go into the ground allowing you to dig them out.

You can only dig your items out of things like gravel, dirt, or sand not stuff like stone, granite, or obsidian. Peace✌

    maybe like they still float there, but once they are supposed to disappear then they "sink into the dirt/sand/gravel/etc"

    I'm not quite sure how they'd do that but sounds awesome!

    That's exactly how it would work, and if it rains the items sink in the ground faster. Also, what do you think should happen if items fell in the water? Should they disappear or be at the bottom I'm not sure. Just let me know.
