Rubber Duck Treasure Hunt, or Hoax?

Rubber Duck received an anonymous email precisely at midnight last night. It was a very short email.

—————————————————————–
DATE:09/03/15; 23:59:59 EDT (DST)
SUBJECT: Dig
BODY: At the GPS coordinates below you will find treasure Rubber Duck. You must dig at this spot before high tide tomorrow morning or all is lost Rubber Duck. You must dig Rubber Duck. No one else.

Since RD was online chatting at midnight she immediately put an IP trace on the message. Whoever sent it covered their tracks. They used anonymous Web Proxy Servers based in Russia and Romania to bounce the message and hide the source.

At first light we punched the GPS numbers in (specific to within 3 feet!) and set off. One twisted ankle and a grumpy duck later we find:

To keep the treasure a secret while Rubber Duck excavates we are removing all coordinates and identifying items in the photos. This could take a while.

Me: “The message said you had to dig Rubber Duck.”
(This is when Rubber Duck starts sounding like Carol Channing when she is excited but also a little ticked off)
Rubber Duck: “Hello? Has anyone noticed my little stubby rubber wings and I don’t even have any feet?”

I think I hit something and it smells kind of ripe. Could you pass me a sani-wipe?  WELL HELLO DOLLY!

What do you think Rubber Duck will find?
