This was my very interesting Saturday morning hunt. I was in the woods doing what I like to call field research!! Covering alot of ground in the woods accepting all signals, looking for old human activity. I had not managed to come across very much, when I spied a large old piece of crumpled sheet metal from what I had no idea, old roofing maybe. I started 2 work this area and when I lifted my coil over a big old rotted stump It went off! I checked it again! YEP! something in the stump! There was some birch bark and other debris covering up the inner hollow portion of the stump. I removed this and my heart lept into my throat!! A military magazine box down in the stump!! I WAS THINKING COLD HARD $$$$$$. I removed the box and with great anticipation opened it!, Without any quadrants I had found Maine geocache # 9 with a note book and a letter explaining what it was! There were a bunch of trinkets left, by past finders and entries in the note book on who and when they had found it !! It had been set there in 2005. I made my entry and explained I had come across it metal detecting and left an old spent 45 cal cartridge shell . My second cache of the year!!!! Just a little distance from this I found some good eats ! A beautiful bloom of oyster mushrooms !! YUM! YUM! I did manage a few relics, 1950 wheatie, general service button, and a few bottles!! For those of you who are interested in exactly where I was you can get the quadrants on line!! MaineRelic.
