What Cache size are Nanos?

[Stompy]

Almost every cache smaller than a 35mm film pot seems to get listed as "Unknown" why is this when then guidelines state the following, why is this?

 

Micro (35 mm film canister or smaller – less than approximately 3 ounces or .1 L – typically containing only a logbook or a logsheet)

 

This seems to fit a nano perfectly!

Exactly, that's why film canister and smaller is all "Micro". Which is already annoyingly small.

Some pepole would like nanos to have their own individual size like micros and regulars.

 

All the nano's I have seen so far are like these ones.

 

Edit to add: However I think you are right as things stand now nanos should go down as micros as is written in my interpritaion of the guidlines.

First double for a while.

We use the ? if we're hiding something sneaky where the size would give away too much and IF we were to hide a nano we'd class it as micro.

In Germany there are a few acorn nuts being placed arround. I have found about 5 myself and have place one. I shall be bringing some to England in August for my brother and a few others. I think they are fun. Even better is a properly hollowed-out screw if this is placed well.

Nano's are micros.....

(makes it easier for us anti micro/nano lot to filter them out on GSAK )

I set a couple of my nano caches as micros and got moaned at by cachers as they were looking for something bigger - a 35mm film canister.

I really, really wish that people would be consistent and classify anything film canister-sized or smaller as a micro. Loads of nanos are classified as "other" or "not stated", which then screws things up a bit. I use Lordelph's icons on Memory Map, and there's a Micro symbol in there. However, if people use "other" or "not stated" for nanos, they show up as non-micro-sized caches, which can be annoying and misleading.

 

A Nano category would maybe solve the problem, but I don't see a need for this if people apply the guideline quoted above properly.

 

Grrr!

One of my caches is a *lot* smaller than a nano. You'd get a few dozen of my pico containers into one nano. :-)

 

But that's a very specialised cache idea. I'd hate to look for one of those in a forest!
