+Blackjack Bailey Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Does anyone know where, in KZN, I can buy some fake rocks? I think they could serve as great hiding places for caches! Quote Link to comment
+Wazat Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) Most garden centers should have some sort of fake rock. Or get someone who does rock art to make one for you. I have been toying with this idea for a while. I believe Noddy has made his own version to fit in a micro container using a real rock. Edited September 22, 2007 by Wazat Quote Link to comment
+Noddy Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Someone has been giving away secrets???? Quote Link to comment
+Wazat Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Secret? You are the other Nutsman ...... I believe .... Or at least I discovered..... Quote Link to comment
+LeonW Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 A ha... from the discussion I conclude that Noddy must be of normal physical built, otherwise he would have used a "Big rock" for a normal to large size traditional cache container. Now there is an idea for myself, use a forklift as special equipment for difficulty 5 cache, soon to be placed. Seriously, I think the fibre glass/resin rocks have a really good chance out in the veld, and then there would be no need for a trash bin black bag. Quote Link to comment
+Wazat Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hint - Under the shiny mis-coloured rock..... Haa haa I can see this coming soon. I'd like to see you get a forklift up to the 5 star cache I did..... Quote Link to comment
+LeonW Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 "Lift" has been ordered, delivery time is a bit uncertain, but it should do the job. Want to go and do a maintenance run on your cache Wazat? Little rock, big mountain - no problem. Quote Link to comment

Little rock, big mountain - no problem. ha ha ha. that's sure to sort out the hike up there again. it will certainly help if someone happens to move the big rock off my cache at big rock, big view.

+Fish Eagle Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Here's our fake rock - it used to be covering a cache, but now it's a TB, currently residing in (or rather, nearby to) cache OVP - Open Veld Playground in Gauteng. It's about 30cm in diameter, very realistic, and cost R175 at our local Garden Centre. Click here to see what it looks like.... Quote Link to comment

+cincol Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 ...and here are my secret weapons, acquired today! Hehehe! Neville At least I know what to look for when I am caching in the Hilton area and YOU are the cacher who placed them! If those were to be used in this part of the wolrd then I can assure you that every cacher would log a DNF as our landscape consists of rocks and more rocks! Have a look at this photo for an idea. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=207894&id=533303775 Quote Link to comment
+Wazat Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Nice where you get them and how much? Quote Link to comment
+Blackjack Bailey Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Nice where you get them and how much? I got them at a place called "Tuscan Decor" in PMB - the smaller one (30cm diameter) cost me R78 and the slightly bigger one (45cm) cost R86. I think I've recruited the owner to geocaching!

+LeonW Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Just what we all need, more rocks. I actually love the idea more and more. Have to get one myself, and the price is very reasonable for our fun. Quote Link to comment
