Which airport is this located in? I'm not sure why the GC code was obscured... it's not a spoiler
It might be a spoiler if the cache is a multi or mystery cache.

Ok, so here goes my most popular cache.
80 found logs with 38 favorite points.
Awesome, inspirational!

Adding a recent bad container find. This is an authentic Tupperware container (has the Tupperware logo on the container). Not watertight:
Great for leftovers in the 'fridge. No so good for geocaching. This one has crossed over into "so bad you should just throw the whole thing in the trash" territory.

these are some of the signature items i either found or traded for with people in the geocoin forum. i've also collected several poker chip type sig items, wooden nickels, plastic buttons and little glass animals that were found in a cute little bag. i've left clay arrowheads with kokopelli on them - only made 50 of those. they are in this thread somewhere. also made flat glass ingots with pictures affixed to them, redshoesgirl magnets with kokopelli pins. one lady went around an area and picked up as many as she could find. that was rather discouraging. do folks put out as many sig items as they use to?
I see you have a RifleMan81 signature shell casing. He is a local cacher and friend here in Central Ohio. I wonder where you found his sig item?

I think the reference to 420 should make the cache illegal.
Why? Because you associate it with some activity? It offends you? If that's the case, I think your username should be "illegal" because eight people were killed by a bomb in Istanbul on August 20th. Some people might be offended by that...
A number is a number and nothing more.
Exactly. The rather blatant "420" marijuana users reference is part of that cacher's geo-nickname. Outlaw it, and you prevent them from properly labeling their caches. Don't let a number bother you.
But is advertising the usage of illegal drugs family friendly?
The number "420" does not, in and of itself, advertise illegal drugs. It certainly doesn't mean that to me.

Here is one I created that I hadn't seen before, based on the good old hose clamp. In this version, it magnetic and attaches to a pre-existing hose clamp. My other version is a complete faux hose clamp. You have to dis-assemble an existing clamp, then retro fit it around a nano. Cuts the ends off and JB weld them to the ends of the nano. Be sure to scuff the black off the nano for a better look.
Top notch, thanks for sharing!

Some ideas for juice bottle preforms. These hold maybe as much as a 35mm film canister would, but with the cap at a 2" diameter, you might fit a good sized Geocoin in it.
I would love to find a source of these in small quantities

Thoughts?
Awesome!

Here is the description: You will need to know where this is if you want directions around here. This is easy terrain and should be an easy find as well. Your looking for large glass jar that locks. It is full of goodies from my other hobbie that all should enjoy good luck.
glass, a terrible, terrible choice for a caching container.

Besides the allergic reaction risks, I don't think you can truly ever get the food smell out of plastic containers enough that an animal - especially a raccoon - will overlook it. No matter how well you clean than peanut butter jar a four legged cache bandit will try to chew on it.
Your theory doesn't hold up to my experience. Peanut butter jars are arguably the single most common cache container in my area (Minnesota. We have raccoons) . I have found thousands of them and I can only think of maybe two of them that have been damaged by animals when I found them.
In my experience, though, PB jars don't seal out moisture very well, and tend to get damp/moldy inside.

I am relatively new to Geocaching but I have been planning my 1st cache since I started. I knew what I wanted to make but wasn't sure how to pull it off. Today I completed the cache and will be testing it for the next week to see how watertight it really is. Since these posts are all about pics I will let the pics do the talking:
Cache complete
Well done, but how do you plan to hide it? Will it be in the water at a fishing hole?
-
I think they were being sarcastic. At least about the 30' up in a tree comment.
I plan on making a hook like yours. Thanks.
I was definitely NOT being sarcastic. I would much rather climb a tree to find a cache than look under a lamp post skirt.
The hook is certainly a better idea than attaching with zip-ties, except that the hook can be dislodged and the cache can fall. I don't think that the zip-ties will hurt the tree. I have seen signs and even bicycles embedded into trees that just keep on growing.

Regarding altoid cans...I saw one not rusted once. It was ujder a lamp post skirt! :-)
Were you the FTF?
I thought I'd try my hand at camouflage today and this is what came out. What do you guys think?
Tremendous. Soda bottle preforms are nice and watertight, and you can generally get the log out of them easily. I recommend zip-tying it to a tree branch about 30 feet up for a perfect hide.

Here's some pics of my version of HHH's evil ant hill in it's original placement. I've since moved, and moved it with me.
Nasty hide. Well done.

My thing is this… can the other app's allow you to open a satellite map view and see all the geocaches around you, then click on a button and have the compass view, then click on another button and be able to see all the information about the cache (the owners info, descriptions, the log's made), then one more click to log your find? This is a real question because I haven't tried all of the ones people are mentioning (I just use c:geo cause it works). Or, do all the other app's require you to open an empty map, then open your browser to look at cache listings, then click one, then download it to your map, then flip back to your geocaching app to go find it, then flip back and forward between your app and the GS website to read the log if you need help? Then after you've found it go back onto the website to log the find?
Yes. Try using GeoHunter. It is also "free" and doesn't violate the Groundspeak TOU.

d+n.s, that is brilliant! Have you ever used old pill bottles instead of the match container?
Oh please don't use pill bottles! They are not watertight - the contents always get wet.

gasp! he said the p-word!

Doh! I meant to add this to an existing topic...

Treat any tags you find as SWAG- trade up or even if you take one. They are about 1$.
To see how close that estimate is, while viewing someone's pathtag collection, point to one you like and offer a dollar for it.

My avatar on this post is my pathtag design, and not only did they cost me more than a buck each, they are worth more than that to me...

These are common around here in Central Ohio - we call the extra containers "decoys".

Any feedback on that "WhereYouGo" app
I have used it successfully to find a "Wherigo" cache.

I can't figure out why some icons in the new Android app are gold & round for some caches. Does anyone know why?

Cheating? Not at all! Creating geocaching containers is the perfect application for 3D printing.
