Super nitro-ammo can buried under giant tree...

I was very excited to get permission to hunt a new place today! It's an old farmhouse, probably built in the 40's or 50's, and I just know hordes of silver coins await!
Well since I was on limited time, I decided to hit the area around a massive old tree, the clothesline and the walk.

I was just thinking the area seemed too clean (the rest of the place is solid trash) when the T2 gave an overload signal. I don't remember the ID but the idea of a buried cache popped into my head instantly. Digging down with my trowel I hit a large, smooth metal surface as expected, although too smooth for a rusted piece of iron. Hmmm. Dug out some dirt and I instantly recognized the end of an ammo can handle on the lid! This is looking gooood....! I stopped and set up my phone to film everything and proceeded to dig it out. Sure enough, an intact ammo can in the hole!! I kinda thought it was light as I pulled it out, and told myself not to get excited, probably empty or full of army men or something.

Imagine my reaction when I opened the lid and saw MONEY!! A few dollar bills and some coins along with a folded up peice of paper. The rest of the can had some white batting material wrapping something up. Oh man. I picked up the first wad of batting and opened it up... WHAT!?? A dead bird was in it!! The rest of the can was empty aside from the batting. Talk about a letdown.

I counted the money, all 4 dollars of it, tried to read the note but it was too wet (ammo cans will leak), then just put it all back in and reburied it. Dang. So close.
 
Well thats different.I've never ran across anything like that.Maybe I need to start diggjng my over load signals.Not that I want to dig up a dead bird but the cash would be nice.Better luck next time and HH:detecting:
 
Yeah, I'm sure I won't dig every overload but because of where that one was I decided to. I plan to hit the place again soon with the small coil to see what's lurking between the trash. It's super bad. I couldn't find a place to GB for a very long time and the detector was definitely not at its best with the default 90gb.
