Findley State Park Bomb Scare

I was made aware of a geocache recently being mistaken for a bomb at Findley State Park.  I can't tell from the information which geocache was x-rayed and if the cache is still in place.  There's a chance the cache was never published.  Each year a number of caches are dropped at places requiring a permit and never published if the cache owner doesn't follow up for permission.  Caches in satte parks rarely cause bomb scares, but this one did.  Remember to always mark your geocache containers when you place them.  This ammo can is waiting for us to find a hiding spot in the ANF.

In April, a bomb scare was reported when a geocache was found in Leesville, Louisiana.  The container was reported to be taped up "like a pipe bomb."  Nearby residents were evacuated while the bomb squad destroyed the cache container.

This last report from October 2019 is more disturbing.  It appears from the news report someone in Allen County (Lima, Ohio) removed a geocache which had been in place for over a year and moved the cache to a nearby Bob Evans where it was placed under a bench.  The container had what appeared to be a fake fuse sticking out and contained a note inside.
