I have two caches in waterproof metal containers. (ammo boxes) I may run into the same trouble as Glenn but for now I have no plans to change them out. One is on the property where I work. Everyone I work with knows where and what it is. The other is on conservation land. It is plainly marked and is registered with the conservation office via a special use permit.

I just received a note from another geocacher that I needed to use an ammo box. I also read that in other countries that this is frowned upon because W.W.I & W.W.II artifacts and old mines are occasionally still found. What would the rational be for not using ammo boxes in the states? geocachette
