Good luck figuring out what was the first 'urban' cache!<br>
Yes, you can put the ammo can lid in a box and make it a TB, but it
needs a catchy name to be effective.<br>
'Metro Pecan: Cracked'?<br>
'Metro Pecan: My slice of the Pie'?<br>
Or maybe just 'Lost Lid'?<br>

<pre wrap="">Well, that Metro Pecan was AZ's #4 geocache. And the first Urban in the
State. No, I don't know if it was the first urban period. Maybe I need
do some looking on that one.... Hummm.
So, yes you have some history right there. Can we put the ammo can lid
in a plexiglass case and call it a TB?

The cache was plundered only a short time after it was
initally created. It was in plain sight and had a
combination lock on the box with the combination in
the web page. Someone riped the lid off and emptied
the contents. The empty shell was on the tree for a
long time after that.
Finally, about a year ago, the tree was cut down and
the field plowed. I assume the box was removed with
the tree, but since the lid was ripped off and
discarded earlier, it was in the field for you to
find.

<pre wrap="">Wow. That is some cool little history right there! I was wondering if the
rest of the box might be in the ground there. Now I know it isnt. So
everything fits together nicely and the mystery is solved! :) Looks like we
did find the lid from that cache then. It is interesting that we found the
lid almost precisely at the coordinates... not more than a few feet off...
considering it was plowed into the ground. Fun stuff!
