What's the largest and smallest caches you've found?

[+dibbg]

Just curious what the largest and smallest caches you've found have been?

 

The largest for me was a gallon sized container with lots of swag, the smallest is probably a tie between a 35mm film container and a small magnetic key holder.

[+Pirates of Tuskegee]

Largest was a Huge ammo can about 2'x1'x2.5' and the smallest was one of the nano magnetic containers.

 

I will find this one the next time I am down in Macon though:

The largest I have seen was a 5-gallon bucket, and the smallest a magnetic micro like the one pictured in the previous post.

Ditto.

[+sbell111]

The largest was the 'size of' a Nissan Pathfinder and the smallest was either a nano or a tiny, flat cache a bit smaller than a stamp.

[+WRASTRO]

55 gallon drum on the owner's porch and a hand made nano about half the size of the one pictured above.

[+ncfinn]

Largest is a foot locker, about 2ft*2ft*4ft. Seen many in the "olden days" that were about 66 quarts.

[+brian4361]

this one is 16 gal.

Here's a picture of the second largest cache ever found in Iraq at the time. I was found by my 3rd Platoon Scouts, hidden under some rocks.

 

Could'nt find the log book.

Cool, do you have a link to the big one?

The person who hid that cache didn't read the guidelines, did they? Live ammo isn't allowed.

 

Smallest I've found is a nano like the one posted up top, the largest, I think, was the APE in IL.

[+briansnat]

My largest was a one of those huge, Project A.P.E. ammo boxes. Smallest was one of those magnetic nanos that Pirates of Tuskegee posted a photo of.

[+Cav Scout]

We later blew it up so no one else could find it.

[dagger dog]

large as in a 60mm rocket box, thought it was a small coffin, small as in a magnetic nano masquerading as a screwhead about 1/4 in diameter

[+joranda]

The largest That I have found was a storage shed. The smallest was a nano.

[+Miragee]

The largest I found was a utility cabinet outside of an AM/PM 7-11-type business. The smallest was a nano. The nano didn't even have a log. It is a grandfathered "code" cache with a picture of something inside the itsy, bitsy container.

Was the utility cabinet the actual cache container, like you opened it up to get to the log, etc.? Or was the cabinet what the cache container was just attached to (like a magnetic box or something)?

[+PJPeters]

Us Michiganders have to pull out the good ole' Big Boy whenever someone asks for the biggest cache. It's not just any ammo can, it's THE ammo can. (kids not included - vcrs, box fans, etc. are.)

The smallest, are the nano/blinky types.

It was the actual cache. Inside there was a bunch of Travel Bugs hanging from clips and even some cache containers available for cachers to take, if they promised to place the caches in the greater Yuma area.

It's not my cache and the size of it is not completely apparent from the cache page, so I'm not comfortable posting a link.

[+Stormy70]

Remember folks, it's not the size of the cache container that counts, it's how you use it.

I appreciate the courtesy of not posting someone else cache, thank you. Since it is mine, I have no problem posting it though. Check the gallery for pictures of the container. I have heard of others that claimed to be bigger, there is a cabin somewhere with a log book in it, but you are asked not to disturb the contents. What I think is cool about this one is that anything inside the container is fair game, so the vehicle truly is the container. I had someone trade for the radio that was in the dash. I have looked far and wide and this is the biggest one I have found yet and I try to keep it full of good stuff. When we first placed it we stocked it with duplicate wedding gifts, so it was full of toasters, coffee makers, crystal picture frames etc.

The Smallest: a nano like the photo above. Largest: A 5 story ICBM (Vertual)

[+Bad_CRC]

that sounds uncomfortable.

 

[+Cav Scout]

"It" Typing error. I make em all the time.

 

Like you say in the list of things you learned about geocaching,

 

"Loving your numbers ...does not make you evil,

not giving a carp about your numbers ...does not make you evil,

hiding a film canister in the middle of the woods ...makes you evil".

 

You talking about carp or crappy?

Largest: a 5 gallon bucket hidden within the roots of a felled tree (and covered with 6" of snow at the time!).

 

Smallest: a breath-strip container (that actually had a small geocoin in it as well as the log sheet!).

[+team lagonda]

normal ammo can and the smallest a contact lens container..

[+wimseyguy]

My experiences in this case are the same as sbell's.

Note to the OP-you will find plenty of evil micros in Fayetteville, but there are also plenty of ammo cans in the woods around there. There seem to be a ready supply of them nearby.

Some people are sensitive about the second word around here, so that was intentional.

 

 

I knew what you meant, I'm just unable to resist a lame joke when one presents itself.

[+Roarmeister]

Smallest was that same pico sized container in the photo.

Largest was an old grain seeder about 20' long!

[+geojerry7]

Largest was a 5-gallon bucket: full of tb's and coins. Largest TB in bucket was a bowling pin. (Didn't last long)

Smallest was a silver capsule (about 4cm long and about 2cm wide). Very small and hard to find. I actually found 3 of them in one day. Once I found the first the rest were a piece of cake, becasue I knew what I was looking for.

Reading this post motivated me to go out and find this cache the very next day. It's a really cool cache!

 

Knowing what I was looking for made it easy, but I gave the GPSr to my son to follow and didn't tell him what the twist was. He walked right by the vehicle two times before figuring it out.

[+JayPeg]

Smallest I found was the end of a mechanical pencil with the coords rolled up inside. The largest was a 55 gal oil drum.

[+Zop]

Pretty much the same over here.. Smallest was a small aluminum capsule about the size as a tylenol pill, just a little smaller than the typical nono. The largest was a 10 gallon rubbermaid type of storage container.
