Strangest find for me

So,yesterday, when the temp was pushing mid-90's, I was out in the grass parking lot of a local fairgrounds. I mean, why not?
I find the usual !!!! load of canslaw, bits of aluminum, scrap metal, etc. Also, a bunch of quarters, nickles, dimes, and pennies,
and a Bicentennial Kennedy half.. COOL!!
Hunting my way back to my vehicle for some water, I get a signal indicating another quarter , so I start to dig.
Out of the hole pops a Samsung Galaxy S III!! Complete, not broken, but covered in dirt. Brought it home and scrubbed it up (what can it hurt?).
The battery is swelled up-no good. The charge port is still caked with crud-not useable, but I wonder if a charged battery was installed, would it turn on? Otherwise, I will simply dispose of it.
 
The battery swelled up that means it got too hot, happened to my galaxy. You can blow the charge port out with compressed air. New battery & it may work. Good luck.
