Reviewer Revan: Cache Owner (CO) has not responded, so I am regretfully archiving this cache to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking new cache placements.

This is an easy P and G near the tee box but not on the tee box
side of the fence. Cache is filled with swag. Parking for this
could be tricky so choose your spot carefully. It was hard to get a
reading from the GPS here it was bouncing around so that maybe the
hardest part of this cache. Please place it back like you find it
or better. This is an older ammo box and the lid does not hing so
be sure it connects properly at the back end when you close it.

That's no bomb! It's a Geocache By Dan Packard

Call it a case of mistaken identity.
A metal ammunition case fastened to the fence on the west side of Ross Rogers Golf Complex turned out to be a Geocache stash - not a bomb.
Sgt. Steve Mitchell, day shift supervisor for the Amarillo Police Department, said he was driving on Broadway on routine patrol about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday when a man flagged him down.
"He told me he found something interesting," Mitchell said.
The man, who had been collecting golf balls and cans in the ditch that runs north and south along the golf course, showed Mitchell a .30-caliber ammo can tied with a cable between the fence and a tree.
"It looked suspicious enough that I called the bomb squad. Those guys know a lot more about that kind of stuff than I do," Mitchell said.
Members of the bomb squad arrived at the site about 100 yards south of the intersection of Broadway and Hastings and examined the object.
Meanwhile, a steady stream of golfers teed off from a tee box about 30 yards away.
The bomb squad discovered the true nature of the ammo box about noon.
It contained a letter that described Geocaching, a game in which players use global positioning systems to hunt for hidden caches.
According to the game's Web site, www.geocaching.com, individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share their locations on the Internet. Users of GPS devices use location coordinates to find the caches, which may contain rewards.
Mitchell left the letter in the ammo box where they found it.
He also left a message of his own. On the back of a business card, he wrote: "Hi guys. Scared us for a bit. A civilian thought this might be a bomb. We're cool now. Enjoy."
