Where am I supposed to find ancient gears? Are they just that far in the first area?

they're in invisible interactables in the level 1 dungeon, in the exact middle of the lake in the southeast section and between the pillars in the center of the northeast section.
like the shop NPC explains, they're invisible and you have to check multiple times to get them.
OR you can do the combat exam -1- quest, the awakened guardian boss drops one.
