My metal detector found a buried treasure... of old soda cans

I got a cheap metal detector for my birthday and took it to a field near my town's old fairgrounds. After an hour of beeping, I dug up what felt like a big metal plate. It was just a clump of about fifteen crushed soda cans from the 1990s, all stuck together with rust. I learned that 'interesting signal' doesn't always mean 'ancient artifact'. Has anyone else had a funny letdown like this while looking for old stuff?

Ugh, I've dug up more rusty can wads than I care to admit.

Remember that time I found a "gold" ring that turned green?
