Team360 made a discovery several months ago. He noticed the coordinates 
posted on an example cache page somewhere on gc.com and was curious to know 
what was at the posted coordinates. Well one day me and 360 drove over to 
that location. We found a field that was plowed over, for the most part. 
There was an old tree stump right at the coordinates. We figured maybe there 
used to be a cache hanging in that tree. Well... as we were looking 
around... I saw a peice of metal sticking out of the ground that looked 
familiar... like the lid of an ammo box! I pulled it out of the ground and 
it was the hinge and lid of an old ammo box! We were now quite sure there 
used to be a cache at those coordinates. 360 got on gc.com and found the 
archived cache page for the Metro Pecan cache! So we are now holding a piece 
of history! (expect to see it on ebay with a starting bid around $7500! 
LOL). ;) Anyways, I also found another item laying on the ground... and I 
cant remember what it was... but it was an item you would typically find in 
a geocache. I thought it was really cool to find that piece of the ammo box. 
That cache had been archived for a few years. I dont think there is any 
doubt that was a peice of the ammo box from the Metro Pecan Cache. Is it 
possible that they plowed the field over (and cut the trees) and plowed the 
cache into the ground? We didnt do any digging, but we didnt find any other 
remnants of an ammo box otherwise.
