wolfshead57 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 OK then lets start having all your tales about the weirdest/strangest or most imaginative cache container you have found. I havent been doing this long enough yet to find any strange ones but, I got to thinking there must be some canny tales about. So come on then lets share them around and inspire folk to use more than tupperware. Quote Link to comment
nobby.nobbs Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Keehotee has far too much time on hid hands and has used expanding foam surrounding tupperware to create some very intricate hides on dartmoor and around exeter. fake rocks, fake brick wall, a skull... the list goes on. trouble is some might not want to reply here as the strangeness of the container is often used to make the caches that bit harder or complete the puzzle so to say might ruin that aspect.

+molfrew-mosstoad Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 As nobby says, I dont want to give too much away but we found one that looked like a Mushroom/toadstool, dont know what it was made of but but it looked very real Quote Link to comment
markandlynn Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 41 pages of wierd cachie goodness enjoy I think we have hidden few different ones locally but wouldn't want to give the game away as they are still active. Quote Link to comment

+HazelS Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Lollybob has a penchant for hiding caches in dogtoys... Quote Link to comment
+Chaotica_UK Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Found a squirrel cache once. I wont say where, it will spoil it. Quote Link to comment
wolfshead57 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Not after where they are that would spoil the fun, just something like spent 30mins in the mud andthen realised it was the plastic chicken? Love the squirrel idea. Cheers me dears Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 30mins in the mud andthen realised it was the plastic chicken? You've found that one then! G Quote Link to comment
+minstrelcat Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 A small bird ornament and a CD drive from a PC are the oddest containers I've found. Quote Link to comment
+T.R.a.M.P. Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 A little red kettle was the most unusual we have found! Quote Link to comment
+L8HNB Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 A little rope bird house by one of the previously mentioned purveyors of caches to the rabble........ Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Years ago I made a big fake rock from concrete as a base for the garden parasol & I've had thoughts of doing something similar for a cache but haven't got round to it yet. Quote Link to comment

+GAZ Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 (edited) Absolute shameless own cache promotion What is it? Name that container! (or what it is in it's next stage) Edit by Lactodorum - You didn't think you'd get away with that did you?! [] Edited September 18, 2007 by Lactodorum Quote Link to comment
+Alice Band Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Seen some pretty ingenious ones on my travels. Can't say where they are as it will spoil them These include: Hidden inside a snake (rubber one) Disguised as part of a rusty metal rail (that one was so well disguised that a lot of people give up looking) Inside a torch hidden in a tree One of the more recent ones I have done was a nano hidden on a very busy railway bridge - it was hard to locate and get the cache out while regular trains under your feet rumbled so much it shook the bridge and bored muggle passengers lurked nearby. But I enjoyed the challenge There's several. There's a nice trail specialising in unusual cache containers near Nuneaton along the canal which I can recommend. Quote Link to comment

We've got one-in Worcestershire! (Not one of mine.) I'm often amazed by people's clever ideas for cache containers especially the ones that are well crafted and merge into their surroundings.

+alma Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 found one in a cigarette lighter once .that was a good one Quote Link to comment
+jerryo Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 found one in a cigarette lighter once .that was a good one That sounds like one of lost it's. Haven't heard from him for a bit... Quote Link to comment
wolfshead57 Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 My first find was one of lost its and I told everyone how ingenious it is. I still cant believe how good it is so much so its what is inspiring the lads to think of devious ways to hide stuff. Quote Link to comment
+Alibags Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 If it wasn't for Lost It, I would not have lots of caches to find when I am visiting my folks in the North East, so hurrah for micros I say, and thanks to Lost It! Quote Link to comment
+jmbillings Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I thought up an idea for a multi with the final being a certain item - only trouble is, I need to make said item first! But I think it shuold be quite a good one... Won't say what it is obviously! Quote Link to comment

+SidAndBob Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Slightly off topic, but does anyone know of a way to attach a combination lock to a cache? I know there are some out there. Quote Link to comment
+jerryo Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Slightly off topic, but does anyone know of a way to attach a combination lock to a cache? I know there are some out there. I've seen a simple net bag with a combination lock laced through it and an ammo box with a lock attached using strong wire through the existing holes. I'm actually going to use a key safe somewhere soon but it'll be for a clue as they're quite small. Quote Link to comment
+Sensei TSKC Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Slightly off topic, but does anyone know of a way to attach a combination lock to a cache? I know there are some out there. Use an ammo can. Easy to do. Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 fake brick wall, a skull... Thanks for that... I've not found those yet Quote Link to comment
+Dark_Faerie Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 There's one near me that has a puzzle to open the box. Not sure what it involves as I've not been there yet. Thinking of going on Sunday afternoon if I don't decide to go somewhere easier to get to. It's GC10PXD if anyone is curious. Karen Quote Link to comment
