M59A1 full-tracked, amphibious armored personnel carrier in Richmond, close to Earlham College.  I haven't been here yet.  This is rated at 4 stars, and has a Find/DNF ratio just under 50%... but a lot of recent DNFs.

"War Hawks"

M4A1 Medium Tank (WWII Sherman) with a 76 mm wet gun from the Yorktown Arsenal.  This hide is in Memorial Park in Huntington.  I haven't looked for this one yet.  It has been around for a while, and the Find/DNF ratio is about 80%.

A Needle in a Hey, Tank!

1951 - USA M41 Walker Bulldog Light Tank used in Korea and Vietnam.  This tank is located at Johnny Appleseed Memorial Park in Fort Wayne.  I haven't looked for it yet.  Difficulty rating of 3 stars may be slightly low due to a Find/DNF ratio below 45%.

A Needle in a Hey, Tank!: Part Deux

Very easy P&G on some sort of cannon in Terre Haute.  I haven't been to this one yet.  Find/DNF is currently 108/0!

Big Bang

Carriage Howitzer

On a cannon (don't know the specifics) at the Carroll County courthouse in Delphi.  This was a relatively easy find, but did require a "geocaching tool" to retrieve.  As always, be on the watch out for wasps.

Delphi Courthouse

Armored personnel carrier (I think) at American Legion Wayne Post # 64 in Indy.  Another tough hide that I haven't found yet.

Don't Get Cranky It's not a Tanky

M110A2 Self-Propelled 8 inch Howitzer at the Lebanon National Guard Armory.  This cache is relatively easy for a tank cache, but it still took me 2 visits.

Howitzer

Very easy artillery hide WITH WASPS at Rose Hill Cemetery in Newburgh.  I don't have any details on the gun.  I haven't gone yet.  100% found.

My First Artillery Hide

This is an awesome old "Fried. Krupps" cannon.  Very hard hide.  I gave up after about 20 minutes.

One Gun ~ Twenty Salute!

No details here - some sort of cannon at Fort Ben.  I haven't been to look for this one yet.  Logs indicate wasps are present, but not near the cache.  A non-nano hide rated at 3 stars.  Almost 90% Find/DNF ratio.

P&G: Big Gun

Cannon in front of American Legion Post 67.  Should be an easy find, but I came up empty on my 15 minute search.

Post 67

Pyle Post

At the site of 2 historic rifled carriage-mounted Howitzers from the Spanish American War era in Rest Haven Cemetery in Edinburgh.  I haven't had the opportunity to search for this one yet, but the Find/DNF ratio is about 2/1.

Revenge of "A Blast from the Past" 

This is not military machinery, but is the same idea.  If you love tank hides, you'll like this one too.  It is an old (1950) Caterpillar bulldozer.  Nice and rusty.  I looked for a while, but found nothing.  Find/DNF ratio is 50%.  Muggle interference should not be a factor here - it is on private club property (with permission, of course).

Shake - Rattle  N  Roll

M-114 155mm Towed Howitzer at Wagner-Reddick VFW Post 1987 in Columbus.  It is well-hidden, but I actually found this one!  There are some wasps living on this one very close to the cache - be careful!

Son of Revenge of "A Blast From The Past"

No details here... some kind of a tank in New Albany.  I haven't been to check this one out yet.  Rated at 5 stars, but has a Find/DNF ratio over 60%.

Tanking of a Cache

FV 4201 Chieftain tank in Auburn.  This is a newer hide, and is rated at 4.5 stars... but doesn't appear to be a nano.  I'm looking forward to trying this one whenever I make it up to the area.

Tanks for the Cache!

M60 Series Tank (Patton Series) in Fort Branch near Evansville.  I haven't been to look for this one yet.  It looks like a "findable" 4.5 stars with a Find/DNF ratio just over 50%.

Tanks for this one 

Here's a list of some of the big tanks, cannons, APCs, & other military machinery which seem to make perfect spots for hiding caches (usually very difficult nanos).  I'm not a military person or history buff by any means; I just really enjoy these hides (of course, I haven't been stung or bitten yet) so I decided to compile a list of them.

I know there are many others I haven't listed. Let me know about them, and I'll add them to the list... and hopefully I'll get to go visit them.
