Or see:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/libs/iterator/doc/indirect_iterator.html

MyContOfPtrs::iterator itr =
std::find( make_indirect_iterator(myContOfPtrs.begin())
          , make_indirect_iterator(myContOfPtrs.  end())
          , AnInstance).base();

note call .base() on the return value from std::find to get the original 
iterator.
