Well this was probably one of the most anticipation building digs we've had in a while. A friend's cattle property had some US Mil usage before being sold off to the public a couple years ago. We found some scraps of machines and building pieces around...then it was discovered....the mystery box or well ammo can...haha
So it took a bit to recover with the hard soil and not wanting to damage it. After about 30 minutes of digging around and lifting hard it broke loose and came up. We found that it was an ammo can and had something inside. Once home we cracked it open.....
And inside.... Cadillac Products LLC MREs! Looking online it looks like 1979-1982. We did crack a few open and try the crackers, brownie, and cookies; they all held up fine. No one was hungry enough for the meats.
