+dibbg Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment
+Pirates of Tuskegee Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) 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: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...ea-590c60edbb1b Edited January 17, 2008 by Pirates of Tuskegee Quote Link to comment
+steve p Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) The largest I have seen was a 5-gallon bucket, and the smallest a magnetic micro like the one pictured in the previous post. Edited January 17, 2008 by steve p Quote Link to comment

+sbell111 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment
+WRASTRO Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 55 gallon drum on the owner's porch and a hand made nano about half the size of the one pictured above. Quote Link to comment
+ncfinn Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Largest is a foot locker, about 2ft*2ft*4ft. Seen many in the "olden days" that were about 66 quarts. Quote Link to comment
+brian4361 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 this one is 16 gal. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...43-9e7941124b6d Quote Link to comment
+Cav Scout Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) 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. Edited January 17, 2008 by Cav Scout Quote Link to comment
+ReadyOrNot Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 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. Cool, do you have a link to the big one? Quote Link to comment
+Mr. 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 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. 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. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment
+Cav Scout Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 We later blew it up so no one else could find it. Here's a picture of the second largest cache ever found in Iraq at the time.

dagger dog Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment
+joranda Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The largest That I have found was a storage shed. The smallest was a nano. Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment

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 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment

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.

+"The Bearclaws" Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) Largest....a pickle barrel. Edited January 18, 2008 by "The Bearclaws" Quote Link to comment

+Stormy70 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Remember folks, it's not the size of the cache container that counts, it's how you use it. Quote Link to comment

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. Here is the link: Sledgehammer Quote Link to comment
+TK7464 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 The Smallest: a nano like the photo above. Largest: A 5 story ICBM (Vertual) Quote Link to comment

+Cav Scout Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) "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? I was found by my 3rd Platoon Scouts, hidden under some rocks. that sounds uncomfortable. Edited January 19, 2008 by Cav Scout Quote Link to comment
4x4van Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 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!). Quote Link to comment
+team lagonda Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 normal ammo can and the smallest a contact lens container.. Quote Link to comment

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. Edited January 20, 2008 by wimseyguy Quote Link to comment

You talking about carp or crappy? 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. Quote Link to comment
+Roarmeister Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Smallest was that same pico sized container in the photo. Largest was an old grain seeder about 20' long! Quote Link to comment
+geojerry7 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 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. Cheers Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment
+JayPeg Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Smallest I found was the end of a mechanical pencil with the coords rolled up inside. The largest was a 55 gal oil drum. Quote Link to comment
+Zop Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment
