Default unexpected bonuses!

it should be mentioned that the small town and area I live in has a rich history in forestry, farming and mining. There are a fair number of retirees living here who have been in the area all their lives and have the stories to prove it.

As mentionrd in another thread my carrier has now been parked at home for a few days. It of course has been irrisistable to the curious! Yesterday I had 2 gentlemen stop by to say they recognised the carrier for what it was. Both knew of others in the area. One of the gents told me about how 40 years ago he drove a carrier into the bush and ad as far as he knew it was still where he left it. I just "happened" to have a topo map of the area handy. He happily offered to put an X to mark the spot.

Now for the other bonus! He told me to get to the spot I need a boat now. When I get to the spot and start walking to get to the carrier I will know I have the right area because there is an old Ford army truck close bye. It is ugly with a snub nose and not a long truck. Hunters have used it for target practice but surprising not all the shots when though the body.

Curiousity is killing me now! Will have to go for a fishing trip next weekend and see what I can catch! Anyone care to join me? LOL!

Are stories/discoveries like this common with other owners of military equip?
