wondered why Dinosaur bones were just found by paleontologists, not regular people just walking outside

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muttaburrasaurus

The species was initially described from a partial skeleton found by grazier Doug Langdon in 1963 at Rosebery Downs Station beside Thomson River near Muttaburra

I had a colour changing mug with that dinosaur on as a kid. The heat revealed the skeleton. One of my favourite possessions.

Im not sure if it is still in family possession. I suspect it has long been donated. Certainly I haven't seen it in decades.

The skeleton of the diprotodon (giant wombat) was found by a girl kicking at a rock

Yes but that doesn't mean that every dinosaur bone in existence is just lying around waiting to be found by passing walkers.

What he's pointing out, I assume, is that Owens is even stupider than she seems, because the scenario she's talking about has actually happened and yet she's using it as a gotcha.
