Wonder if the "tin-like metal" that "disintegrated" was a can that would have contained a message from the original people who buried it - tucked into the muzzle but the ground water got to it so it didn't survive. If it contained a message it probubly had to do with the cannon's origin or details about the dispute and why it was hidden.
