Out in the desert yesterday when my detector screamed at me to stop and dig. It was deep, about 14"-16" down...an old coffee can. My mind raced for a second...what's an old coffee can doing way out here, and what's inside? I remembered all the gold coins in California that were found.
Stay calm, stay calm...dig that baby out. Down in the dirt, not caring about my clothes at that point.

Finally got the whole thing out....

But...sometimes an old coffee can is just an old coffee can...dang it...

I DID find a weird rock that hit as metal....shows a silver color when scratched...don't know what it is...non-magnetic...
Anyone have some ideas on this one?

...and an old bullet...

All dig holes properly backfilled, of course.
