No, not at all, the sand was dumped in there as a moisture absorber in an
effort to prevent rust-through.
I worked one summer reconditioning trade-ins for a car dealer; I always had
new cassettes to listen to, and lots of pennies. People also lose a lot of
combs and happy meal toys, and I found three zippo lighters, and a mess of
matchbooks and cheap bic lighters. I always hoped I would find a nice
pistol or a bag of long forgotten cash, but no luck, although 1 dollar
bills would occasionally surface.
