That’s it! The second Lat/Lon is precisely where I found it. I parked my truck at the fork in the road and found it to my left after flushing a bird out of the brush while returning to my truck. Thank you very much. I will return it to its proper location in mid-November. I will also post an entry in the log confessing my transgression and apologizing for my short-lived career as a muggler. I may even give geocaching a try as I have discovered some pretty astounding things while roaming the woods that might be of interest to others. Thank you all for the help!

It is definitely in this area but Beattie Pond appears to be of substantial size and I did not see any body of water any where near that large. I may be wrong and I may have missed the pond. Also it was much closer to the road where I parked my truck.

Thank you for your assistance. The closest town would be Eustis, Maine. The roads I primarily travelled are the Beaudry Road, Appleton Road and Lowelltown Road. There are many unnamed logging trails that fork off these roads and it may be along one of these that I found it. The area that I was in is known locally as the Merrill Strip. I have attached images of the first and last pages of the log. I do not intend to be imprecise but please know that this is a very remote area.

I was bird hunting in a very remote wilderness area of northern Maine and stumbled upon an army-type metal ammo box next to a tree. Upon opening it and briefly glancing at the contents, I quickly (and wrongly) determined that it must have been inadvertently left behind by a younger member of a family that may have camped nearby. There were no external markings on the can other than the military stamped ID “M2A1” Thinking that I might make better use of an ammo can than just leaving it to rust away, I took it with me. Upon arriving home (a few hundred miles away) and inspecting it more closely, I found a colorful sticker inside which I was able to identify on the internet and it led me to something I had never heard of before, geocaching. Further research revealed that I was now something called a muggler! This doesn’t sit well with me and I intend to return it to the location where I discovered it. I will be going back there deer hunting next month and will put it back. The problem is that I travelled lots of logging roads and walked many miles along them over a few days and I cannot recall the exact location where I found it. My question- is there any way I can find the person who placed the can there so they might be able to give me Lat/Lon coordinates? I won’t have any problem finding the tree once I get close. There is no identifying number or email address in the ammo can other than a notebook which I now know to be logs from previous discoverers.
