Yep! Found a Sawed-off shotgun while caching in Wabash, IN -- called local authorities to retrieve. Also a tin box of "Various drug paraphernalia" and broken glass pipe (appeared to have been tossed from a passing car) -- didn't bother with this since the pipe was broken and the items rusting badly.

Gerbilmafia: This is our first forum posting -- mainly because of the very same treatment you've been receiving -- have noclue as to how to post or what it will look like. Seems there are so many thin skinned and short fused people anymore.....mostly misinterpreting your minor intensions. We'll prolly receeev kritique on dis posting 2! We too, started the sport from reading a newspaper article and joined with the children in tow.....found a few caches the same as you and was hooked. Then the 35mm film canisters started popping up everywhere (yes, even in places where a regular or small cache could have been easily placed! We've even located micro's in the woods....go figure, but that's their perogative) and our family too was getting discouraged as well. ( the area is saturated with them, not giving newbees a chance to hide a cache, seems these placers are in for the numbers ) The placers also, may be doing a good job of planting them, and maybe not.....it's not us to decide or force our opinion on their doing. Bottom line: I guess, we as hunters, must decide on the caches we wish to locate. P.S. From experience ( not this ID), you must also be careful in wording your log finds as well..... well, here goes....pushing the button --------------------
