Geocache Description:

Come find a gentleman o' fortune`s lost booty!

The view from near th' cache:
Many voyages ago, so th` story goes, thar be buccanneers that roamed th` tree-lined shores o` Lac La Biche. They terrorized th` trappers an` th` fishermen, plunderin` dubloons an` precious jewels as they sailed. But one day they vanished an' nay one heard from them again, an' the'r booty be nerefound. But rumors say they hid the'r booty near this spot in a bottle o' wonders. If ye look carefully enough, an' you sail clear o' the muggles, ye may be th' first t' find th' lost gentleman o' fortune jewels o' the Lac La Biche buccanneers...

UPDATE JULY 2018: It appears the original container has been lost, and someone at some point replaced it with a new pill-bottle sized container. I have changed the geocache details and the hint to more accurately describe the new container. (Also nearby to visit: an old abandoned church, one of Lac La Biche's oldest graveyards, and a memorial to fallen RCMP officer Leo Johnston.)
