Digging for cache

After spending a day trailbuilding on the CT, I drove down a scenic country road into the Cove Creek Wildlife Management Area to find a few out of the way caches. Two of them were quick easy finds. and have been found quite a bit recently. The last one, GC1H6NH, hadn't been found in over 4 years, and didn't even have a logged attempt. Turns out the cache was buried under 6 inches of rotted wood and dirt, but was in otherwise pristine shape. My guess is that cachers have stopped to look for it during these past 4 years, but not found it didn't bother to post a DNF. Finding a cache like this one makes me especially happy, it's like finding a lost treasure. It also reminds me that caches can and do become buried with time. Just one reason that caches "go missing" in remote locations.

The "6" that now look more like 4

I've already done some serious digging and removing a rotten log at this point,

AHA! The cache reveals itself.
