The tests previously mentioned were very short in duration, 1/4 mile on two and 1 mile on the other. In all cases everything stayed dry in both the Pelican and Zero boxes. We have also had very good luck with surplus ammo boxes as well. If you check the seals closely and remove any crud that could be behind them then they work as well as the pricier stuff. The seals can be treated with Armour all and that keeps them pliable .You should be able to find the ammo cans for $10 or less.

I have some ammo boxes that I've had for a while and can find them just about everywhere but as others have said they are a bit big for most hiding places and they would just turn to a ball of rust underwater.I don't have a GOOD army surplus store near me but I'm still looking for the decon boxes.

I'm not sure the Decon boxes would work under water. They have really good snap lids, but I have found that some finders don't snap the lid down and check that it is fully snapped. Sometimes you have to snap it down in 3 different places. They are a good size and great color though.
