+Darklight 101 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Hello I was just wondering if anyone knows where I can get ammo cans In the uk. I have looked everywhere and can't find any reasonably priced ones. Quote

+Bear and Ragged Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Strongly recommend you DON'T mention the fact it's an Ammo Can in the cache description. Sadly, they have a habit of disappearing... Quote
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 reasonably priced would that be an oxymoron? Joking aside... they used to be cheap, really. But I fear the true days of "surplus" are long gone... Fact is... many younger geocachers think of these junky plastic ammo carriers as "ammo cans". Good luck in your searching. Quote
+and1969 Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Strongly recommend you DON'T mention the fact it's an Ammo Can in the cache description. Sadly, they have a habit of disappearing... A few months back I found two ammo can caches and both were secured by heavy chains and padlocks. Neither description identified the type of container. I won't say where or when these finds were in case a thief is reading this, and anyway unless they happen to live within 20 km of either cache it will probably be cheaper to buy an ammo can than to steal one .

BOBBLES WORLD TOUR Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Strongly recommend you DON'T mention the fact it's an Ammo Can in the cache description. Sadly, they have a habit of disappearing... So. Just like any other cache container. Quote
+Oxford Stone Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I bought 1 of 2 that were on sale in an antique shop (of the slightly flea-market type!) in Lechlade. £10. I'd imagine places like that, plus car-boots, are good options. Might go back for the other one one day - but have only just been to Boots to scrounge some film pots so I need to hide them in the middle of a wood 50m off the path first Quote

Back in the day, it was a decent walk and very little ivy on the tree... Now-a-days the tree is more ivy than tree, and there's no decent walk and no view... Quote

Beakers from wilko are my favoured rural container. The lip below the screwtop lid makes them ideal to tie to trees (not saying what height!) Update - Oxford army surplus has piles of ammo cans at £8. Quote
