It's fairly common, at least in Minnesota, for the listed
coordinates of a puzzle cache to put you smack dab in the middle of
the lake (whereas the cache itself is likely to be on shore in a
nearby park). This cache is not a puzzle; it is located at the
listed coordinates off shore in the middle of a lake - Cedar
Lake in Rice County.
To get to the coordinates you'll need to go by water. It's a
10-minute canoe ride or a half-hour swim (not recommended). Or if
you wait until winter you can probably skate out there in several
minutes - but bring an ice auger. Don't bring a snorkel or Scuba
gear because the visibility is only about one foot. Nevertheless,
once at the location you should find a reasonable line of attack to
allow you to retrieve the cache.
The urn contains a log, a pencil, a coin, a stamp, but few
trinkets; we had to load it down with rocks so it would sink down
to the muddy bottom. So please bring small, heavy items preferably
made of silver or gold to exchange for the rocks.
