This would let you estimate the 'population' of finds in the ploughzone as a whole and therefore what fraction of it you recover in any given survey. It's mark and recapture, essentially (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_and_recapture). We rarely get to use it in archaeology because we rarely put things back.
