Rattling 1996 Ranger

I have a 4cyl. 2.3L Manual 1996 Ranger, It has 110,000 miles and a couple of days ago a "rattle" started coming from underneath the truck. It rattles when I start it up, when the rpms go up and then sometimes after I switch gears. The truck runs fine and the noise is more annoying than anything. Is something loose? It sounds like two pans rattling against each other and it seems to be coming from under the front of the bed just behind the cab. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

heat shield on the exhaust. Get under there with your fist or a rubber hammer. You'll find it.

Yup. More specifically, the heat shield on the cat converter.

Empty beer cans rolling around in the back?

Happens to my truck all the time.
