The cache was plundered only a short time after it was initally created. It was in plain sight and had a combination lock on the box with the combination in the web page. Someone riped the lid off and emptied the contents. The empty shell was on the tree for a long time after that. Finally, about a year ago, the tree was cut down and the field plowed. I assume the box was removed with the tree, but since the lid was ripped off and discarded earlier, it was in the field for you to find.
