Thanks Nick I might be interested in a couple of them... but the question begs, how do you end up with several hundred 50 cal ammo cans? I imagine he won another online auction for them. Quote

Thanks Nick I might be interested in a couple of them... but the question begs, how do you end up with several hundred 50 cal ammo cans? You can find them all over the place! Just look at a website called geocaching.com It will tell you where to to look for ammo cans! Edited July 16, 2009 by GrnXnham Quote
+Berta Nick Zoey Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 I did in fact win them at auction. And as I usually do, I bite off way more than I can handle. Several hundred is actually an understatement. How about 1800 of them. I figure it'll take me .....forever to sell of these. But, Im still young. (or not) Quote
+RS67Man Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Can you post a photo of them? I am sure it would get passed around between cachers as the biggest gathering of ammo boxes outside of the military anyone has seen. Quote
+Berta Nick Zoey Posted July 21, 2009 Author Posted July 21, 2009 I attempted to add an image, but am having problems figuring out how. Anyone give me a pointer on this? I tried to link to the URL of where the image is located and that didnt work. I am also going to adjust the pricing on these based on the fact that there is competition to sell these. I am asking 6.50 per can. We can also discuss delivery! Quote
+dshifter Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Where are you located? I wouldn't mind buying a few if the shipping price isn't too high. I live in Lewiston, Idaho. Quote
+Berta Nick Zoey Posted July 22, 2009 Author Posted July 22, 2009 If there is anyone along the I-90 corridor as far east as Moses Lake, Id be more than happy to drop some cans off along the way on my way to Clarkston in a few weeks. Quote
+SwampDiner Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I would also be interested if shipping wasn't too high. I live in Wood Dale, Illinois. Quote
+steve p Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Those would make a creative cache. Make one the cache container, and stack all of them up in the woods. Finders have to locate the correct one to log. Quote
+nelson crew Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Interested here. We'll be over on the wet side here in about a month. I have a truck - perhaps if you get some other orders from the Spokane/CDA area I can pick them all up last day and bring them home with me. Quote
+smelly_shoes Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 you should take about 700 or so of them and put a single piece of paper inside each saying "not this one", then a log book in one and make a big pile of them somewhere in woods as a cache. It would need a cheesy name like "needle in a hay stack" or "fish in a barrel" Quote
+Ockette Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I'd love to take three or four off your hands. Where are you? Quote

+RS67Man Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Here is the photo for those who don't want to clink the linky's: I think you might have a few ammo cans there! I am impressed! Too bad I am broke, or I would get a couple. Edited July 28, 2009 by RS67Man Quote
+Sytar Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 So, what town are you in, or what is nearby? I may be interested in picking up a few, but shipping is always a killer. Quote
+Berta Nick Zoey Posted July 28, 2009 Author Posted July 28, 2009 Im in Maple Valley. These things weigh 5 pounds per can and even at parcel post rates, its 12 bucks per can to ship. Quote
+Ockette Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I really want to get 4, but I'm up here in Skagit County and it's one heck of a drive in this heat. Quote
+dshifter Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) Thanks Nick for the delivery! Now, the reset of you cachers out there, help Nick out and buy one or two. Edited August 2, 2009 by dshifter Quote
+globaltreckers Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Do you travel to the Tri-Cities area? I'll be happy to take quite a few off your hands and I can easily pass the word around and get a few others to buy some too. Quote
+Berta Nick Zoey Posted August 8, 2009 Author Posted August 8, 2009 We will be going to Tri-Cities in September. Just not sure what weekend yet. We'd be more than happy to bring some cans with us. Quote
+uxorious Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I would love to be able to read the mind of anyone casually walking past your garage when you have that door open. Looks like a paramilitary compound. Quote
+Berta Nick Zoey Posted August 9, 2009 Author Posted August 9, 2009 Well, The very next day after unloading all of those cans into THAT part of the garage, I moved them all into the 3rd garage bay. The door to that doesnt get opened too much. But if you were to look in that garage now, its floor to ceiling end to end solid cans. These things are going. Ive already gotten rid of close to 100 of them so it wont take Too long. Quote

+Ockette Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 If anyone can get four of them up the Skagit/Anacortes area, I will absolutely buy them. Quote
geezfools Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 If payday treats me well, I might come out and grab a few. I'm from Puyallup, not that bad of a drive. Quote
+Right Wing Wacko Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 You could rent a table at one or both of the local WAC Gun Show. I've been to the one in Monroe several times, and while there are sometimes vendors there that have ammo cans, they seem to run out early. Quote
+cpine Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Holy COW! You are not kidding! I hope you got a good price on them! LOL! This is amazing! Ammo can anyone? Got ot give it to you when you do somthing you do it! Chris Quote
+GrievousAngel Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 You could rent a table at one or both of the local WAC Gun Show. I've been to the one in Monroe several times, and while there are sometimes vendors there that have ammo cans, they seem to run out early. Especially since the surplus store in Monroe is asking $14.99 for .30 cal cans and $24.99 for .50 cal cans. Quote
geezfools Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 dang, I better meet up before the price goes up, heh Quote
+Berta Nick Zoey Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) If anyone in Eastern Washington wants/needs some of these cans, email me. I'll be going through Yakima this weekend, just not sure when. Edited August 20, 2009 by Berta, Nick and Zoey Quote
+Berta Nick Zoey Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 I've still got a few (lol) 50 Cal cans if anyone needs any! Quote
+wild wiggly beanz Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Will see if I can get down that way this fall. Worldcaching usually likes the smaller size but maybe its time to encourage people to get some nice BIG hides out there. A few too many micros in the woods lately ! Will let you know as soon as we get the fall camping plans set ! Quote
Fledermaus Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Any chance of someone coming up with a bunch of the smaller (1/2 size) ammo-cans? I could use maybe 5 or 10 of them. Quote
+Berta Nick Zoey Posted September 23, 2009 Author Posted September 23, 2009 Interestingly, The past weekends Cache Machine in Tri-Cities, had only 1 ammo can hide if I recall. I remember when I placed my very first cache 3 years ago. It too was a micro in the woods. And being new to the hobby, several people mentioned that I should have placed the biggest container the area would/could support. Times have changed, I guess. Having this many cans will give me a lot of opportunities to place them in the hills and woods around the area. Of course, I dont plan on putting out several hundred caches any time soon. Quote
+The Jester Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Just think of it as "job" security! Quote
+ZeroHecksGiven Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I still have all five of the ones I picked up from you in Auburn, though two are ready to go out, just waiting to find good locations. The other three will get homes within the next few weeks as well. Quote
+Sol seaker Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 If anyone wants any 50 cal ammo cans I have several hundred!! Im asking 7.50 per can. Thanks Nick Don't you know you're supposed to trade for the stuff INSIDE of them, not for the cans themselves? I saw a cache the other day without a container, Now I know where it went. I might take some. Let me check with "the boss" on this one. We live pretty close by and go caching in Maple Valley periodically. Quote
+Berta Nick Zoey Posted November 2, 2009 Author Posted November 2, 2009 Ive still got a bunch of 50 cal cans if anyone needs/wants any. Thanks Nick Quote
+maggi101 Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Ive still got a bunch of 50 cal cans if anyone needs/wants any. Thanks Nick Id like one or two to help Thing One and Thing Two build their first caches, but it's likely going to have to wait a couple more weeks until we get closer to the holidays, should you still have a garage full.
