+madkiwiman Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) I've just started this amazing sport/hobby/addiction and i have found 6 caches. I have already seen some amazing containers used for the caches... Most creative so far was a stick cross (made just like the tree it hung from and the log was hidden in the botton which came out when the small swivel piece of the stick was turned. (this is was a cache made after another called 'Adam's Bane' (GC15V3X) was made (which i believe was made with a metal apple hanging from a tree) and this cache was called 'The only solution to Adam's bane' (GC15X4F) Brilliantly Creative and i look forward to finding more creative and tricky caches. SO WHAT HAVE OTHERS FOUND THAT LISTS AS THEIR ALL TIME FAVORITE CACHE CONTAINER OR CACHE? Madkiwiman Edited April 14, 2008 by madkiwiman Quote Link to comment
+nekom Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Stage 1 of a very cool multi around here is a log, split in half and hollowed out to make room for a small plastic container. That's probably the coolest container I've come across so far. Quote Link to comment

gitarmac Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I was fooled by one of those fake tree stumps as well! There were other logs and stumps around so it didn't occur to me that one of them would be fake. Then there was one of those turnie things recently as well. It was like a fake electrical conduit attached to an electric thingie. THat was brilliant. Quote Link to comment
+madkiwiman Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) Wow - Yes that link was fun - great to see all those other great cache containers. I found another one today - of a bolt in a street sign - who would guess it was a very clever cache container. Must go get a pic of it. Edited April 14, 2008 by madkiwiman Quote Link to comment
+madkiwiman Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) Opps - put in post twice. Well - does anyone have pics to show of their most creative caches? Edited April 14, 2008 by madkiwiman Quote Link to comment
+J10fly Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) Hmmm I found one that was just a small hunk of concrete with a small bison container in it hidden in a pile of larger concrete. Wasn't easy! BTW--> Welcome to the fun! Edited April 15, 2008 by jho135 Quote Link to comment
+madkiwiman Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 There must be more other creative cache stories out there - anyone? Quote Link to comment

You were already referred here: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=62421 that is about the only thing I found. If you search for camo you will find some nice caches as well.

+Night Stalker Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 One of the sneakiest i found was a large Nut with the threaded end of a bolt extending from it. This was weathered to look rusty and was on one of the metal supports of a bridge along with several hundred real nuts. It was held in place by such a strong magnet that the first time I tugged at it I thought it was a real bolt. I had to return to the site later after getting verification from the owner that this was really the cache. This was in the days before we had to be concerned about terrorists and hiding caches in sensitive places in case anyone is wondering. Quote Link to comment
+PJPeters Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 The most ingenious container I've seen was a 'Monkey Puzzle,' whipped up by a local cacher. This thing is a pain. But a great idea. Another sneaky one is this one (look at the pics). Now, I'm a pretty slim guy, but getting this one is a tight fit for me even. Every area has their own favorites. You'll find yours.

That is evil. We found a few that were locked and the clues to unlock it were in the description (combination locks) Quote Link to comment
+madkiwiman Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Man, those are brilliant - i can't wait to have a go at a really creative one - im working on it and a good location. Quote Link to comment
