Your workbench looks like you either have a penchant for collecting strange curbside garbage or you always wanted to open a nic-nac shop and you wife is constantly asking you, "what is all this stuff?"

You just came away from Fleet Farm, again, with more keyholders and matchstick containers, were sad to see they had no Supersize Ammo cans, and spent $22 dollars on an electronic bird call and you don't even hunt wildfowl!

I saw the BIGGEST ammo can at a surplus store in the cities last weeked. I think is was used to store mini rockets. It was bigger than the big cans at FLeet Farm. $50.

And what will be the headlines after Saturday's weenie roast?

And if you bought that big honkin' ammo can, cheezehead, there had better be some darn good swag in it when it becomes a cache!

Was the ammo can this size?:

CLICK HERE for the log for this picture.

I was with a group of cachers that tried to find this bad boy over the winter. We had to DNF and stop at the first waypoint. Turns out to not be very winter friendly.

But look at the size of that can!

I HAVE one that size. The one I saw was bigger than that. 2X bigger?
No, I wont spend $50 for 1 ammo can. Maybe $20-$25
It was like 14x 14x16.

Sandlanders, I put a cache out just for you! Twisted Evil

Put your glasses on. It's there. Above the yellow lettering on the bottom.

Sorry, I didn't see it among all the copious ammunition markings Shocked

Two words: camo paint.

Or, "Goof Off."

That Project Ape cache that's still active in Washington looked about twice that size from the photos that people have posted of it.

There was an ammo box near Sheboygan that got muggled about a year ago. It was covered with logs and could easily fit a small child in it. Took another cacher to see it and it was GONE! Someone got a nice container. Shocked

You hijack a thread with talk about large ammo boxes and no one notices!
