Yep. Perspective makes a big difference.
I remember showing an old nail I found to a co-worker. It was so old that it was flat and the 'head' was just the end bent over.
He asked why I had kept it.
I didn't understand why he wasn't impressed until I remembered that he was European, and to him that nail wasn't old yet.

On the other hand, I've got a ~3,000 year old spearhead that was found in the area.
Suck-it Europe. :)

That's quite neat. Most people though wouldn't understand how nails have evolved over time.

Being on the west coast, there no historical buildings over 150 years old.
