Traditional caches?

[Cooptroop5]

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't a traditional cache in a big container or ammo box, and not a film canister?

[+wimseyguy]

You are wrong. A traditional cache is simply one located at the posted coords. Size doesn't matter.

OK, thanks

A traditional cache is just a cache that you enter the coordinates of the cache and you go to the cache size is not the factor that determines the type. Micros, like film canisters and bison tubes still count as a traditional cache, they aren't nearly as fun as regular sized caches.

 

If you look under the name of the cache owner on the cache page it will tell you the size so you don't have to be upset with by finding micros.

Thanks alot, I just thought that if the picture shows a ammo can, then that is what they would be... I will check the size from now on.

Yeah, probably a common assumption =D And who decided micros arent as fun? My faveorite cache ever found was a micro and although ive only found 40 its still quite something. All these micro haters need to move on!

While I defend the right of people to place Micro's and lame caches in general. The reason I do is for variety. The same variety that we need in caching to keep creativity alive. Micro Haters, Woodland Livers, Urban Slag Specialists, Technical Hide Specialists, Quirky Spot finders all are needed to keep this community full of creativity and vibrancy.

 

I hate to admit it but even the Whiners have a place...but hopefully far away.

The micros I have found have all been drive-bys which take about half a brain to find.

Interesting. I've found that, in general, micros are somewhat harder to find than regular-sized caches. In general, It's pretty darn easy to find that ammo can sitting under the pile-o-sticks.

 

I'm not sure how much of a brain is used to find either one. Probably a teeny-tiny percentage, I'm sure.

From the cache search page.

 

Cache Types

 

Traditional Cache

This is the original cache type consisting, at a bare minimum, a container and a log book. Normally you'll find a tupperware container, ammo box, or bucket filled with goodies, or smaller container ("micro cache") too small to contain items except for a log book. The coordinates listed on the traditional cache page is the exact location for the cache.

Never had woodland liver, but I don't like calves liver nor chicken liver. I doubt I'd like WL either.

I kinda like the occasional chunk of liver, properly prepared. I'm sure that bunny and bambi livers would taste just fine.

I think you missed the qualifier of "I have found" and thusly his statement could very well be correct and irrefutable. Additionally, he mentioned drive-bys, which depending on punctuation, could also mean they were easy to find either by them being drive-bys or drive-bys in general being easy to find.

 

So, I don't see the reason for you to argue the veracity of his statement which, for him, is correct.

 

Of course, that could easily change once he comes up against an evil micro. Then both halves will be needed.

You have only found 6 micros. Some may be mindless and easy. Some are quite challenging and fun.

Such as the hollow bolt, or pill-sized bit of rust stuck by magnet under a slide. GRRRRRRRR - (My favorite type of micro hide)

 

But what does this have to do with the OP's question which asked for clarification about cache sizes and did not ask about whether or not micros are fun?

Maybe you haven't searched for the right ammo

box.

I've been told "Size does matter".
