This bit isn't really much of a surprise - the surprise would be actually finding either indirect or direct evidence of life - perhaps ferrodoxins or Fe3O4 like they did with the martian antarctic rocks. Or fossilized remains of life.
The real biggie would be actually finding a living martian.

Which given the ability of life on this planet to survive in the harshest of conditions I would gamble actually still exist - ie endospores.
