Could be that things have diverged from the origional intentions of things. Look up Cache and you will probably first find the computer definition of memory storage and then the physical discription: cache (kăsh) noun a. A hiding place used especially for storing provisions. b. A place for concealment and safekeeping, as of valuables. c. A store of goods or valuables concealed in a hiding place: maintained a cache of food in case of emergencies. It would seem that if it cannot hold goods of some sort then it is probably not a true "Cache" ???????????? Larry

There is the consideration that a few nano's in select locations can exclued much larger caches from being placed in areas that are appropriate for them, as far as the rules go, they all take the same space, 1/10th mile. Go to the center of a city park, place a micro and the entire park is locked down. Larry

Although not very origional, these seem to work well for urban areas. Larry

Thank you for your thoughts on this. I am an old and patient person, just didn't want to be waiting on something that was unlikely to happen if something was incorrectly done.

I have a new hide that is going on 5 full days without being reviewed. Is there a flaw in the review system that lets thing get "lost"? I checked the logs and there is no action other than what I have entered. Do reviewers ignore some to investigate them or is this a normal thing? Approaching a week without review seems to be excessive to me. Larry

rjb43nh Your battery polerity is incorrect, the minus side is the one with the long part and the positive has the short side. The previous schematics are correct. Larry

IF I were to do this, I would use thumbwheel switches to select the number and use a normally open push button switch to hold down to activate the power to the system, should last for 10 years or more that way. Take a look at these switches, they appear to have 10 physical switch positions and not the 4 positions with a BCD type switch. Good luck. Larry Switches

Here is a picture of the modified container. The seal is a thin piece of closed cell foam sheet attached with Shoe Goo, the cover is also sealed on the inside with the same stuff and the magnets attached with it. Next time I think I will pay more attention as to how I will seal it against whatever I stick it to. Thanks for the suggestions I really hadn't thought about these types of problems. Larry

I could do a thin closed foam gasket real easy, thanks for the suggestion, even a thin leather seal glued to the metal could do a good job. I will try to do a little work on this thing and place it tomorrow, I will put in some pictures to show how it works out. Larry

Excellent thought on the baggie problem, I will try to give that some thought. "Hard Drive Magnets", clearely you have some experience in this area of expertice. Larry

I am extremely new, old and retired with some intrest in these things. I am wanting to do an extremely accessable cache, bus route wheel chair accessable type of urban cache. I fabricated a fake magnetic electric plate, there are a lot of steel hexagional light and power poles here, and I think this would be perfect, but then I have no experience with this. Do you think this has a chance of living more than a week or so? Larry

I am very new, but I purchased 10 trackable coins for $32.00 delivered, I won't say the vendor, but they are easily had in small numbers. PM me if that is legal. Larry
