+PSHAX Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 This'll probably get me lynched, but here goes.... What are peoples favourite MICRO / NANO cache containers.. I'm not talking about bloody film pots, but something a tad more creative.. So, come on, lets see some positive stuff about micros for a change! Quote Link to comment
+Just Roger Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I had one (now Archived) with a nano container glued into a snail shell Quote Link to comment
+zarbi&zarbibird Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Well, strictly speaking, they were film pots but they were wedged into the bottom those really naff plastic animals you can buy in pound shops as ornaments for your garden They were really good fun to find & made us smile on a short circular walk in Hampshire Quote Link to comment
+Madproforg Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Bison tube in a pine coin on a pine tree. The only give away was the metal hoop on the branch. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 One of the best I've done was the now archived "Shot gun wedding". The plinth is about 4'6" high and there were no steps or convenient cracks in the vertical concrete to help anyone scramble up. It would have been very difficult for a lone cacher to get up there without some sort of small steps to help. Once on top you had to find the magnetic micro that was extremely well-hidden in the replica gun. I see that there's now a 1/1 cache now in place just 435ft from this location, so no hope of anyone else replacing the original trad micro now. MrsB Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 One that was hidden between two green, silk leaves that were stitched together and hung in a tree somewhere in County Durham. Probably put me off micros for life Quote Link to comment
+SidAndBob Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 There are some very sneaky containers on this long running thread. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Another favourite is "Birdie's birdie cache". Won't say too much about it because it's still active but it's the best "micro hidden in the woods" we've found. Very well created, as you can tell from the appreciative logs.

team tisri Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Generally I don't see a lot of ingenuity in micros and nanos, the vast majority are still film pots under stones, keysafes on the back of signs and so on. I did find one that was really neat - a small capsule originally designed to carry owner's details on an animal's collar. The owner had taken the cap off an acorn, hollowed out the acorn, nestled the capsule inside, drilled a small hole in the cap, replaced the cap over the container and hung it from a tree on a small wire. The only giveaways were the wire, and the fact the branch it was hanging on wasn't an oak tree (but interleaved with the branches of an oak tree!) Took me a few attempts to find that one!

+Us 4 and Jess Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 One that was hidden between two green, silk leaves that were stitched together and hung in a tree somewhere in County Durham. Probably put me off micros for life Cat Whiskers it is called John, it was set by Travers for one of my Durham meets, and an excellent cache it is too............and it is still going!! It gets a LOT of DNFs but it is only half a mile from me and easy to check Mandy Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) One of miy favorite Micro/Nano's has to be Shoreham Toll Bridge GC1GDNH, a very clever and well thought out hide. Another very clever hide is Three Twelfths of a Cache GC1E91G. This one is clever as well, Grid Locked GC1KTG6 Edited November 22, 2009 by DrDick&Vick Quote Link to comment
+fatblokecaver Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 One that has grown up into a real sized cache Or a dead one of course FBC Quote Link to comment
+burtsbodgers Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Shoreham Toll Bridge GC1GDNH Certainly is a great hide. It took friends of mine several attempts, luckily i found it after about 20 minutes. This has prompted me to use my imagination for a few Nano's that certainly get some good reviews, so if you are ever down south why not check them out if you can http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...fb-d6601975400c http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...89-15db19d04bfe http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...9b-8af679437cb2 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...22-bcbfe0085803 just some of the better Nano's although i have had to archive a couple lately due to them disapearing Quote Link to comment
+Hillhappy1 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I have a Nano glued into an Oak Apple or Gall hanging from an oak bush amongst the other galls... The cache is called Asterisk ... get it. It's not a give away. I have told lots of people and they still can't find it. Quote Link to comment
