+t4e Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 if they have any caches out there go take the ammo can and replace it with a nano Quote Link to comment

In these parts, ammo cans have a tendency to be replaced with something else...but people don't usually admit it in their logs... That someone would "upgrade" a cache in such a manner is rather bizarre. Takes all kinds, I guess. As for motive, it occurs to me that maybe they foolishly took a large TB and and weren't been able to find a cache large enough to get rid of it. So...in desperation, they upsized an existing cache? (Well, it's a theory, anyway... ) Quote Link to comment

+Lil Devil Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I once found a film can in the woods. It was nothing special. Just sitting under some bark next to the base of a tree. The cache description included "sorry I didn't have a larger container with me." Well I did so I replaced the film can with a larger Tupperware container, including a bunch of swag inside it. There was plenty of broken bark to cover it all. Shortly after logging my find, I received an email from the cache owner, berating me for messing up his hide. I had the same response. "Wait? What?"

If there was plenty of room at GZ without making it more prone to being muggled I'd be happy....ammo cans are very low maintenance! No I didn't. There was not enough room for a larger ammo can without making it more visible, if there would have been we'd have hidden a larger one. Point is too that you just don't mess w/ someone else's cache, certainly not w/o first asking/contacting the owner. Quote Link to comment
+bafl01 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 HA! I have considered or toyed with the idea before but have never really thought about dropping 5-10 bucks on someone else cache. I have found centrifuge tubes in the oddest places. The money and self conscious has kept me from doing it. Quote Link to comment
