This image shows the three scoop marks made on the Martian surface by Curiosity's digging tool. The second scoopful of soil was discarded after one of the shiny objects was discovered in the sample. The nearest hole on the left was the first sample, the one above it was the second and the one to their right was the third.
The earlier object was spotted from this photo which showed the ground where Curiosity's second scoop of soil was taken. The object is hard to find but it's in the clump of dirt near the top right of the photo.
This may remind you of a character from South Park but it actually shows the 3-inch particle tray used to help filter the samples for testing.
The first sample of soil "about as big as a baby aspirin" according to NASA is now being analyzed.
