Yesterday, I went out in the prairie with a compass, a pencil and some paper. After meandering around for about 1/2 mile, I left an Altoid box with $10 in it under the edge of a bush.

I took my data home, did some calculations, and went back today to find it by a more direct route to the Altoid box. When I went the calculated distance, I was 14 feet from the box.

It would be a monster post if I put it all here. So I made a blog post with an overview. Hope the external link is ok.
