+Yearlus Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Was Just Wondering What The Biggest / Weirdest Container That You Guys & Girls Have Found In The UK.

There is something the size of a dustbin hidden somewhere in Cornwall. I've not found it yet, but then again, I've not looked either. Quote Link to comment
+Amberel Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 There is something the size of a dustbin hidden somewhere in Cornwall. I've not found it yet, but then again, I've not looked either.Biggest I've found is an OpenCache, also in Cornwall. It's a flare bottle about half the size of a dustbin, but despite its size it's a genuine hide. And it's full of a huge number of good quality, original swaps. Rgds, Andy Quote Link to comment
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 There's the one Stuey referred to which was hidden by two friends and myself, it's 130 litres in size, so big enough to get a teenager into! Info Here Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The largest I have found are Roolku's Request Juniper Green 1707-2007 : Woodhall Mill Woodhall Mill No 2 Which are all placed by Edinburgh Walker, he must have shares in 25 litre drums? I also got FTF on all 3 of them. Quote Link to comment

Master Mariner Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The largest I have come across is this one that has been around for a few years now. The picture gallery gives an indication of size but, you know what they say, size isn't important!!! Quote Link to comment

+Yearlus Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 thanx guys, think I might try the ape project one tomorrow and give some tbs a new home Quote Link to comment
team tisri Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I found one not far from Wimbledon that must have been between 8-10 litres in size. Not huge, but not bad for being so close to London. Quote Link to comment
+FancoverFive Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The largest one I found in the UK has been this one, which I only found today. I have found one slightly larger one, though, in Canada, which was GC15KB6. Quote Link to comment
+Stokesy Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 The largest, and possibly the most memorable and bizarre, cache I've ever found was GC1BZJY Dave - Looking out for his Brother. Sadly now archived, but I think the "container" has been re-used somewhere else. Quote Link to comment
Deceangi Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Well I can honestly state that the most unusual cache I personally have seen, was one which could move under it's own steam Read the Hint for The Cache With The Hole In It to find out what size the container was. And yes your reading it correctly it was Deci Quote Link to comment
+Subedei Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 My biggest (and best) find was the excellent Tom's Treasure Chest (GCH1B2) unfortunately it's gone AWOL which is criminal as it was really quite special ( Gallery ) Regards Sub Quote Link to comment
+Gooner Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 My biggest (and best) find was the excellent Tom's Treasure Chest (GCH1B2) unfortunately it's gone AWOL which is criminal as it was really quite special ( Gallery ) Regards Sub Totally agree with you Sub!! Tom's Treasure Chest was my 3rd or 4th ever find and no cache container that I have found since has been as special as that one! Really sad that it has gone missing. Quote Link to comment
+keehotee Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I've got a 50 litre cache here..... Quote Link to comment
norsch Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 GCHVCO Libris Cache It's a public library and the log is a book on a shelf http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GCHVCO Quote Link to comment
+Cash-in Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 thanx guys, think I might try the ape project one tomorrow and give some tbs a new home I didn't save the details of the project ape cache and now they've disappeared - has anyone got the link or know the name? Cheers, Pete. Quote Link to comment

+Seganku Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 The largest container I've found is GC1ADVP, aptly named XXL Quote Link to comment

Its not too far from London and part of a series the Moulsford Downs, a nice countryside walk of 14 caches over about 5 miles, circular taking you right back to your car! so you could make an afternoon of it?

+zarbi&zarbibird Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 One of the largest you'll find in London is our Stump the common tub cache GC1E4PN. A handy cache to put those larger-than-average TBs in. Quote Link to comment
+Delta68 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) I think the now archived GCP63E The Iron Mountain Travel Bug Motel is the largest we've ever found Mark Edited May 14, 2010 by Delta68 Quote Link to comment
+Smithbats Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 This one GC24MRN is a big box. When we placed it, we couldn't decide to put it as a regular or large. We went for regular.... Quote Link to comment
+westdorsetgardners Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Our latest cache is a tank shell holder/case and is pretty big http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...95-05bcb96af4a0 But we want to go bigger and have the perfect cache to hide but as yet have not decided where!

+Teuchters Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 This is one of the largest ammo cans I've ever seen - mind you it was in Alabama US... Quote Link to comment
