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!
