+Morganinaboat Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 New to the sport and keep seeing references to "MKB" in cache listings. What is MKB? I'm guessing its something magnetic, but can't be sure. Help please! Quote Link to comment
NordicMan Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Not sure..Can you put MKB into an example sentence?? Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Never seen it before. There are a lot of "regional" names and references. My guess is "microblinkie". a pinky fingernail-sized micro cache container, could be magnetized. Quote Link to comment
+NeecesandNephews Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Got me! Never run across that one yet. I am thinking maybe Magnetic Key Box, but in my area they are referred to as key "holders" not boxes. I'm sure if you could give a GC# to a cache that has that in the description, any one of the regulars could probably figure it out. Quote Link to comment
GOF and Bacall Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I'm gonna bet that NeecesandNephews is correct. Magnetic Key Box. Quote Link to comment
+WhoDis Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 MKH is Magnetic Key Holder, so I'm going with Magnetic Key Box also. Quote Link to comment

I'm guessing its something magnetic, but can't be sure. Help please! Someone suggested that I post the usage example that I found. Not sure how to directly link you to the cache listing but it's called "Someone Had to Do It" and its located within 2 miles of zip code 31028. Thanks the help so far. I'm liking "Magnetic Key Box" too. Quote Link to comment

I'm liking "Magnetic Key Box" too. GC# is GCVHEB. From the logs nobody else seems to understand what it means either! It appears from the descriptions in the log to be a plastic bag held by a magnet, NOT a magnetic key holder. Unless the CO was trying to be cryptic by giving the clue "mkb" to mean magnetically kept baggie or something. Talk about the poster cache for "Get a Better Container" look at all the maintenance logs on this one!! Quote Link to comment

Unless the CO was trying to be cryptic by giving the clue "mkb" to mean magnetically kept baggie:blink: EXACTLY!! It took me a few minutes of reading and pondering to figure out what everybody was talking about. Quote Link to comment
GOF and Bacall Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Sounds like a real gem. Quote Link to comment
+Mosaic55 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Some of the older logs talk about a lid being broken, then more recently they talk about the plastic bag, so I bet it started as a magnetic key box and at some point someone substituted a baggie. Quote Link to comment
