These sentences are good. I'd say fifty-dollar bills, not notes; and I'd say "strange sound" instead of "funny sound." "Funny" can mean strange, odd, unusual, but it's slang with this meaning, and doesn't fit in will with these sentences, which are in formal English. I think "erosion" is a better word than "decay" in this context. And finally, I wonder how there could be a river at the bottom of a hole. (It sounds a bit funny to me.)
