i'm a newbie teenage geocacher, to young to get a job, with a monthly allowance that gets tied up before i even get it.
so far, i've been using Crystal Light containers that i break the seal on before my parents start into them, take out the tubs, rip off the label, write the disclaimer on the lid, and fill it whit the loot.
but as for micro containers, there really is no common household item you can use.
I thought of taking 3 inch sections of 1.5" PVC, gluing a plug on one end, and just putting the plug on the other, and using that.
However, at 78 cents a pop, end caps are not cheap, parsay, putting each cache at about 2 dollars.
Anyway, it depends on how much you like hiding these things, and i love it. Theres only about 20 caches in my area that are bikeable to, so i enjoy tying up my time with planting my own, making my city a more fun place to cache for everyone else.
It would be pretty cheap compared to the stuff i'm doing now to bulk buy things online, like 12 aluminum canisters, which one every two days, lasts me an entire month for only around 15 dollars.
Anyway, are there any cheap caches that you have you want to share?
I'd really appreciate it.
