+maristua Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I'm working on my first hide. I have a 0,8 L lock n lock box that I'm going to hide in a large camouflaged container. Should I set the cache size to small (which is the lock n lock box) or to regular (which is the box you'll find first when searching) on the cache page? Quote Link to comment
hoosier guy Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I found a cache in a hollowed out log with a hinged lid once. If they went by the log size it would have been a regular like your container. My first thought is to go with the size of the actual cache and call it a small. Quote Link to comment

+Ecylram Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Small. Smalls are anything bigger than film canister but smaller than 1L. At .8 it would still be classified as a small. What counts is the holding capacity, not the outside size. Quote Link to comment

Each to his own but I would offer this caution if you go with the unknown designation...for some hiders in my area, they do not want to put micro as the size so they just put unknown so seekers can just figure it out. As a result, some seekers are avoiding the "unknowns" for whatever reason. FWIW, it sounds like a small to me. Happy Geocaching! - hawkeyetob Quote Link to comment
+knowltonGeo Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Is this accurate to say: Per the "New Cache" form: Micro (e.g. 35mm Film Canister) - Large enough to hold **just** a log, and maybe a stub of a pencil. Small (holds logbook and small items) Regular (Rubbermaid, ammo box) Large (5 gallon bucket) There are also "nano" caches, correct -- which are too small even for a log sheet of any kind.

+niraD Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 There are also "nano" caches, correct -- which are too small even for a log sheet of any kind.Groundspeak hasn't added an official "nano" size yet (although it's in the works), so we don't know what their definition of "nano" is. But according to the guidelines, all caches should have a log. My personal definition of a "nano" is that it is big enough to contain only a custom-fit log sheet. Quote Link to comment
+maristua Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Thanks for all the replies I ended up rating my cache as a small one. Quote Link to comment
+AlohaBra and MaksMom Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Thanks for all the replies I ended up rating my cache as a small one. My $0.02 .. Unknown or small is up to you. Just describe it in your write up. Unknown makes it more mysterious. Or you could say highly camoed small. Quote Link to comment
