Geocache Description:

Cache is located in Nippersink Forest Preserve in Round Lake, IL. If you like to hike through fields this cache is for you!

Is that what I think it is? Or what I want it to be?! Sadly, no. No, it's not an ammo can. No, the cache is not in the stream.

I was placing a cache (this one to be exact) and decided to keep on walking along the stream bank. I wander about 70' from GZ, and then a big square object catches my eye in the stream. My first reaction was "Is that an Ammo can?? It sure would make a great geocache!!" As I got closer, I instantly saw it wasn't. I waded into the shallow stream and tried and tried to get the TV/monitor free. It was stuck or really heavy with water and sediment. Slightly disappointed, I took some pics and am hoping someone can identify this artifact for me. It has a dust cover for the screen, a volume knob, grab handles in the back, and lots of vents on the bottom and back.
