      Yesterday I saw a whole wall of brand new ammo cans (not surplus) at Ace Hardware in Wisconsin Rapids, to your left just inside the door. No rust, no markings… $17.95 each, all 50-cal size. Gift-giving time is coming up…

      (I had never seen a brand new ammo can until yesterday.)

        We saw the same thing at Farm and Fleet the other day..maybe a couple bucks more, though. We’d never seen brand new ones, either.

          Sounds like it’s hunting season.

          Oh the woes of the short geocacher!

            I know both sandlanders and I have hunting spouses, but I don’t think either of them have seen other than military surplus before. Maybe as the surplus has dwindled, someone is picking up and making new?

              While I was online searching out some ammo can deals I did run across a company was now making new ones.

              The Smiley Face store is selling plastic ammo cans:
              (Holds 6-8 boxes of ammunition, Lockable, Water-resistant O-Ring Seal, 11.625″ x 5.125″ x 7.126)
              $6.97

              Larger sizes are available. 2 are painted and ready to go sit in the woods.

              Following the signals from space.

                Farm and Fleet has new ones for $15 or a set of 3 different sizes for $40. Went out to do some cache maintenance today and some animal chewed a hole in the corner of one of our plastic ones 🙁
