+Zac Young Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 What are some creative ways to place micro caches? I know there are a lot of micros in trees and under trees and nanos on poles, etcetera, etcetera. But, what are some really creative ways to place a micro to put a little twist on it, perhaps make it more fun? Quote Link to comment

Hide it inside an Ammo Can Fill the micros with grocery bags, adhere a CITO sticker on the side, then place them in your ammo can. Quote Link to comment
+TeamAtlas Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) I've seen lots of creative micros. - bison tube epoxied to the end of a bolt - narrow tube inside a hollow piece of bark, hanging in a tree - bison glued to hollowed-out inside of a pinecone - micro behind a fake electric faceplate - bison epoxied inside fence post cap - slim bob behind a sign on a metal post, where you had to rotate the sign to the side to get it out - fake electrical pipe on a telephone pole with other pipes - a hole drilled in a rock with a micro inside, then placed with a pile of other rocks - tiny clear tube glued to a clothes pin, clipped to a tree limb - bison with fishing line attached, down inside a hollow tree - hollowed out bolt with log inside, on a wooden post - micro with fake ivy glued to it, hidden on a fence with real ivy - clear tube glued inside a hollow stick - a log cut in half with a hole drilled inside, then put back together, which swiveled open to reveal the micro - oh and once we even found a film cannister hidden under a lamp post skirt in a parking lot!

I did 10 caches yesterday and 7 of them were micros. I would like to install creative ones, though. I'm using one for a puzzle cache as a first part, not just a traditional micro so I won't add to the erroneous amount of micros in the city Quote Link to comment

+Harry Dolphin Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I enjoyed the one in the canal, hung by fishing line from the wharf. This is not a canal that anyone with any sense fishes in. And I was careful to wash my fins at the restroom of the nearby big box store before continuing on. I'd never seen a cache with a barnacle on it before... Quote Link to comment

+undertree Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 This nano is mine and it seems to please a few folks. Prophet is born It is disguised as a preying mantis egg cast. If you are familiar with the preying mantis then you know what it looks like. Quote Link to comment
+emmett Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 . A thickly laminated half inch by two and a half inch sheet stapled in plain view on a tree. Oh, one more thing ... about twenty feet off the ground. (Tree cannot be climbed, must be gradually pulled down) . Quote Link to comment

But, what are some really creative ways to place a micro to put a little twist on it, perhaps make it more fun? I hate to give out my secret, but this is what I am working on. I bought 5 steel animal leg traps off of E-bay. I am going to set the traps and then weld them open so they can not close (would not be good). Then I am going to place a film canister on the "trip plate". They should make for some interesting logs. Thanks - CachinSpree Quote Link to comment
+Dryphter Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Well I don't know how creative it would have been, but where I live there is a replica Statue of David on which I was going to place a magnetic nano and then call the cache 'Peach Fuzz' But someone used the location for a different cache placement (on the sign in front of the statue). So out of luck on that one. Quote Link to comment
+Bamboogirl Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I tie flies for fishing, so have all sorts of bits of feathers and such. I'm messing with a micro that would have the log in the "thorax" of a life-sized dragonfly. Not quite all done yet but I want to have it ready to go for spring. Quote Link to comment

Someone stole my idea... I have a cache like this that gets some really cool logs Quote Link to comment
TermiteHunter Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Yep... did that too. ( the wasp nest ) Gets great logs. and something similar to the dragonfly and the pine cone and a hollowed out tree limb And I thought I was original on some of them. How about a mud daubbers nest? .... Did that too. Edited February 18, 2009 by TermiteHunter Quote Link to comment
