where to begin

I usually leave a set of unregistered travel bug tags.

The problem is that it's not obvious how you open and close these types of containers. It's just a matter of time until someone just pulls the top off, instead of depressing the middle of the lid to spread the tines apart. Then they'll bend the tines trying to get it back on.
And yes, I've seen people do exactly that.
You're right, that could be an issue.
Thats kind of sad realy it says how to open it right on it... I have to admit I bought one just incase when I saw them in the store.. They were yummy.
Yes, but after painting it for camo, that information most likely not still be available..
So it might be best to eat a lot of candy so that you can have a replacement ready to go...

I saw these candies and knew there was a Geocache inside.
Here's how I made it so it could hold up to the weather.

I have a cache that was put out this summer. I didn't want to post any pics online till a bunch of people had a chance to find it and have the WOW factor hit them. Since I have found out that a local is showing pics of it to others, I might as well release my own pics here. Let me know what ya think.
I like this idea very much.
I'm willing to bet that a cache somewhat similar shows up in my neck of the woods someday.....
Very neat idea....

Just to put my units into the list.
Started with a Yellow e-trex, and still use quite often.
now I also have a legend

these are fun
I ain't sticking my hand in that mouth, not even for a smiley!!
But you don't have to reach into his mouth to get it. Just poke at his left eye until he spits it out.
Getting back into it's hiding place, on the other hand, is a whole different story.

Ok, I don't know if it is late or I am just slow but....I don't get it
You're ok, it was a joke. the real number is 1539.

We have a padlock geocache here that does just that. It is a 4 digit combo made up of different parts of the co-ordinates. Took us a few minutes to figure it out.
I have a locked cache, it's a metal box on a post with a pipe fitting out the top thru the bottom, and a fake cell antenna on the side. On it, it says "Geomonitor, precipitation reporting station. It's name is "Easy as 1539" and the combo number is?
Yep, that's right. 9473

Bargain Bin deadbolt: $3.96; Magnets and Glue $2.50; Metal door in public place: Free; A "hidden in plain site" cache that was a bugger to find: Priceless.
Voted most likely to be coppied....

As a plumber that often caches in the plumbing truck, I was wandering the edge of a park that was next to the back yards of several houses looking for a place to hind a cache. One of the homeowners came out of the gate to see what I was doing. Holding up the GPSr I said that there was a gas leak reported and that I was testing the air for combustibles. He was satisfied and left. I was hoping that he'd have some more questions, cause I was getting ready with the "If you see me running, try to keep up."

My oh-so-evil idea:
You bury a pvc pipe under the ground (100-200 ft), and run a string through it. Tie one end of the string to a tree or pole where the coordinates lead to. Tie the other end to a bell hung next to the actual cache.
Not sure if that violates any "leave no trace" guideline.
I saw one awhile back, where The cache was suspended high in a tree by fishing line. Once you tried to climb the tree, you saw the fishing line leading down to the ground that let you lower it down... hehehe
Other than the "use no pointy object to place a cache" rule, I like it.

I say get creative with a larger container, it's too easy to hide a 1/2 tube. Challenge yourself and others by hiding a difficult to find regular cache.
How about a 20 gallon trash can?
This can also be found on page 18 of the CCC thread.

I'd like to add to this thread, but my cat just climbed a tree, and I have to get him out of it before it falls over dead.............
The tree that is, not the cat..............

Jeonlyep How can I make sure a skunk can't get in it? I thought they was kinda like cats.... Ya know? If they can get their Noses in they can fit? Maybe I'm wrong there, but I was also thinking about making it where you can see where the hole is, but placeing a door over it instead of leaving it all open.... You'd just have to be right up on top of it
Yea going to be hard, the door thing would work. Or pad lock it... Pics coming in the next couple of days....
Edited to add: MAN! you have a WONDERFUL! camera I am actually able to see the fish line in the first pic. I had to move it up and down (the page that is) to be sure it wasn't on my glasses or the monitorThanks, but it's really a 3 year old POS Toshiba 3.2 MPix

Maybe I shouldn't show this one.
If you look close you can see the string that ties the penny to the cache container. You have to reach through the crack to the left of where you find the penny, and pull the container up by the string to reach it.
I didn't put the hole there!

I have been a bit worried of something trying out their "squatter’s rights".
Just be sure that the hole is too small for a skunk to fit into. Most other critters wouldn't bother me as much, but a skunk would be bad.
I don't know how many other people i speak for but for the love of pete.... who cares. We're cachers, not cops. we all know not to bury a cache. I'd like to see more pictures of caches.
thank you.
X2, well put.

I've got one of those and folks have enjoyed it (GCRET0).
All I'm going to say is that a "pointy object" was used sometime for this style of cache.
How's that different from someone putting an amno box in an existing hole?
If we really need to hash this out, let's take it to a new tread and stop the hi-jack.

I've got a laptop that goes with me some of the time. I would have to scan the jump drive as soon as I put it in. I like the idea of using it as an electronic log book.

Looks like it would make a nice mystery cache - watch the movie to get the clues, although there may be commercialism involved in it somewhere.
Too bad we can't make locationlesses anymore, It wouldve made a good one
Huh? He said a mystery cache.
I'm curious - How could it be a locationless cache anyway?
More of a virtual cache, I'd think. See the movie, answer a question about it, get to claim the find.
Either way, both types of caches can't be set up anymore.
But the mystery cache might be able to be done. See the movie, get the clues to fill in the final location of a cache.
EDIT: I should have heeded the warnings of the others on here. But I went ahead and watched the trailer..........
Now I can't get "Going on a GPS Hunt" out of my head...........

I can barely see it in this photo...
any guesses?
I looked and looked at this picture and didn't see it.
But I thought to myself, how cool would it be to put a cache on the top of the limb that's leaning against the tree, so that you had to move the limb down to the ground to get to the cache?
Very cool one of the voices answered.
7of the 9 voices I hear really like your cache (plus myself, of course).

This one could really be a "cool" cache.
See the cache?
DAryl
I love this one!
Thanks, It's been found once now (Under the Great America Flag in Dodge City. (GCRDA1)) The seeker didn't take note of the cache size, and spent a bit a time looking for a micro.
He ended up calling me to ask for a hint while looking for another cache of mine, and asked for a hint on this one also. I gave him the hints, then went to the cache site to see if he got it. I think he was impressed.
Well, I just stayed up an hour and a half later than I should have reading this thread. I gave up after page 16. It was a blast!At page 16 you should have been able to see the light at the end of the thread. You could have made it!
