Here in Australia I get mine from either the local army disposal store or my local camping store, usually around AU$6 each.

In the USA, we can get them in an Army/Navy Store. Tight seal when closed correctly, but not completely waterproof.

Both have websites that sell them if you don't have a local army surplus store.

Cheaper than dirt is probably the cheapest place online. Try posting in your regional listing. Maybe someone near you knows where there is a army/navy store nearby.

Around here you can find them at flea market/mall type places. There's one right by a cache that I adopted, and both the original cache owner and I have picked up ammo cans there. I found one there yesterday, actually.

army-navy stores carry them and i believe you can get them via the geocaching.com store. they aren't really watertight, some close tighter than others but protect you log by zip loc bags.

Where are you people buying all these junk ammo cans that aren't sealing??

 

Whenever I open one thats been sitting around for a while you can hear the 'whoossh' from air being suck in/out of the cache from being air tight...

Also, try Princess Auto in Canada. They are usually in the Clearance section.

I've had luck with GeoGear Store, they paint over the yellow text on the cans ahead of time and include a "You Found It" pencil.

Are they back on Cheaperthandirt? They were my chief source for years. They sold 6 cans for $19. A great deal, but I haven't seen them for sale on the website for a couple years now.

I just buy them locally at a surplus store. As mentioned above you can order them online from various places but I would hate to pay shipping on them. Here is a place you can get various types: Army Surplus Warehouse
