It is a no-no to ask for this kind of specific help on
a public forum, and an even bigger no-no for anyone to
offer it up publicly.

The one place you can freely try for more clues is to
contact the placer. Only he/she has the authority to
give you more information about a particular box. But
there is no obligation to help you, or even respond.

Sometimes you just remain "clueless" and that's part
of the journey. Sometimes when you re-visit a site
with more experience under your belt, you have the
a-ha moment which can be very satisfying. No one will
want to rob you of that lovely moment by sharing too
much too soon. I have seen some entries in logbooks
that indicate it was the searcher's FOURTH time back
there looking for that box. Don't you think they felt
TERRIFIC! at that point?

Your 5 yo will learn valuable lessons about facing
challenges as well. We don't always "win." But two
hours in the woods for me is always a treat, box or
no.

Thanks for the pointer. I would feel terribly if a "spoiler" was
posted here to ruin everyone's fun.
I did indeed contact the placer, but she moved away and can't remember
the details of it.
Nothing better than a lesson in "try, try again", right?
Back to the park we go.....

Anything that was planted several years ago and
involves "stumps" is likely looking very much
different. Decay happens. You can call these New
England boxes...look where there used to be a barn...I
mean a stump.

Sometimes you have to use some creative imagination.

Good luck!

You could also see if anyone else has found the box
recently and ask them [discretely, private email] if
they would give you a hint, or at least let you know
if you were on the right track]. BUT I DIDN'T SUGGEST
THAT!!!
