Tiny pieces of thin wire suck. They can be pretty much flush with the tire and virtually non detectible, but protrude enough when the tire is inflated, and a load put on it, to the protrude enough to puncture the new tube.

Taking the tire completey off and turning it inside out can help in detecting it.
