Geocache Description:


Mound of the Giant King

See that huge mound yonder? There’s a giant buried under there, nay a giant king! Imagine the treasure: the king’s mighty sword, a glittering coat of mail, a helmet worthy of his great head and heaps and heaps of gold and silver…a New England Sutton Hoo but giant-sized!

OK, I might be completely wrong about this but if I could secure the required permissions and permits and excavating equipment and take a crash course in archaeology, I would prove all of you doubters wrong! HAHAHAHA!!!

Although various local, state, and federal officials refuse to acknowledge my sovereignty over the Nashoba Valley, the mound is indisputably mine. In lieu of my royal banner, I have placed a geocache on top of it. Like I said, the mound is mine.

The cache container is a Small and it barely fits in its hide location. Your hunch about the likely host is likely right.
