Ciao,
avrei bisogno di una semplice risposta. Vorrei fare una Wherigo, ma essendo "particolare" avrei la necessità di "costruirla" da casa. È possibile? Sapete indicarmi qualche link che per vostra esperienza vi siete trovati bene?
Grazie mille!

if you could, without giving away the cache location, could take some pics of the area in questions, maybe someone here can spot some areas for you to look into. Being a city center, I would imagine there would be lots of muggles around.
There isn't a definite place. The area is quite extensive, but the available spaces reduced. There are also many houses, so many muggles.
In the city, a larger cache are hard to hide...

Clip Lock Container - A container with the 4 sides of the lid that clip down to give it a better seal.
Speaker Magnet - A magnet from an old hi-fi speaker, any magnet will do though if it's strong enough.
Also, this cache is pretty small, but if you get a strong enough magnet (or several) you can make most containers into a magnetic container, allowing you to attach them to almost any metal surface.
Edit: Here's a pic now it's been sealed and painted, I've added a regular sized 330ml can of pop into the picture for size reference. (it's about big enough for logsheet and few small swaps, bouncy balls, erasers, GeoCoins, etc...) Though as I say, with strong enough magnets you can make any size magnetic.
Thank you very much! Interesting!

I converted a small clip-lock container into a magnetic container for one of my hides. I glued a strong speaker magnet to the base of the container, added a false bottom, sealed it with 2 part epoxy and spray painted it.
Was very simple to make and had a few comments about the container already, so started making a 2nd one as well.
If you get a couple of magnets you could easily do the same with a slightly larger clip-lock, then it could be hidden behind signs etc... as long as it's not too easy to spot. (E.g. signs on walls with a gap behind them, or signs where the back of the sign view is obstructed by tree's etc...)
(this is the one I'm making atm, still WIP, but shows you the idea, just need to seal around the edges of the false bottom then spray it all.)
Thank you!
I'm sorry, but I'm italian and I speak English very bad.
What is a clip-lock container and a speaker magnet? I can't translate well these two words...sorry!
And, what is the size of this cache?
Thanks also to others!
I hope, however, in other suggestions!

Well, it sounds like you need something pretty well camouflaged, if it's going to be big enough for a notebook. And here's some advice I've posted a couple times recently about hiding well-camouflaged caches:
"Spend some time looking around your potential cache site. What kinds of things do you see, things that people usually ignore, things that are just part of the environment? Which of those things could be a container, or hold a container? What other kinds of things could fit into that environment and seem like they belong? Which of those things could be a container, or hold a container?"
Initially, I wouldn't worry about the dimensions. Just look for possibilities for hiding a camouflaged container that blends in with the surroundings. After you have several ideas, re-evaluate the larger ones. Keep in mind that there are ways to cut down a larger logbook to fit your cache. For example, around here I can get "composition books" which are notebooks with sewn bindings, roughly 18cm x 25cm. But I can use my band saw to cut these composition books into whatever size/shape I need to fit smaller or narrower containers.
Thank you! But it isn't as simple as it seems. I looked, but I do a magnatic cache or I don't see many alternatives...is the size that makes me in trouble!

Does that mean that you need a big enough log book that there is room for a single drawing/comic on the log sheet, or that there is room for a drawing/comic above every finder's log?
The second option: each log, a drawing.
A cache I had already done and liked the idea. Now, however, was vandalized and wanted to find a new solution, but not easy to hide a cache of a certain size in the city. The notebook, however, is not large, is about 11x8.

What are block notes and why do you have to have them in the cache?
A block notes is a notebook paper (not a laptop!)
I have to insert it as the log (over the signature and date) is required a drawing or a comic (the cache is dedicated to Luccacomics & Games.

Hello! I'm an Italian geocachers.
One of my cache recently was vandalized, I would need some suggestions to hide again this cache.
The "problem" is that it's hidden in the center of a city and the cache must contain at least one block-notes (then, no micro cache!).
Suggestions?
Thank you all!

Could you create a group account and give everyone the password. That way everyone has access and can make changes to the cache descriptions. Or is this a no-no?
Yes you can.
I belong to a group account that was setup to hide a 105 cache 'game'. There are probably only 4 people who have the password.
We also setup a separate Gmail account to attach to the group account. We setup the Gmail account to forward all the emails to each person who are the admins of that group account.
I would be very careful how many people you allow access to the group account. You should limit yourselves to only a few Administrators to keep things simple. Too many cooks in the kitchen can spoil the broth!
Thanks for the tips!

No, only one account can own the cache. You could place "LucaRama and Friends" in the "A cache by" box on the cache creation page. But the cache can only be "Officially Owned" by one account. Other users can place this cache on their Watchlist and receive the same notifications, found it, DNF logs, etc.
Thanks! I figured that this isn't possible, but I wanted to be sure.

Sorry, but I don't know what that means a no-no...!

Hi, excuse me for my English.
I'm a Italian's geocacher. I wanted to know if it's possible to hide a cache on behalf of multiple users.
If this is possible, both geocachers will be owners (and can edit the listing, etc.) or only the first user is the "official" owner?
Thanks!
