Since this geocache -an ammo box- is the first canadian geocache, it is the OLDEST geocache in Canada. It was hidden on June 24th, 2000, by Kenneth J. Kane aka Ken Kane aka eastriver, a retired Navy officer from Nova Scotia.
Six year after the placement of this this cache, a memorial was unveiled celebrating the placement. It can be found near the administration building of the Graves Island Provincial Park, located some 7 kilometers (4.35 miles) from the cache. This memorial -a geostone- was built and designed by Wallace_River. The sale of "Canada's First Geocache" geocoin paid for the geostone and unveiling event.
