+MoonCatKDT & Peanut Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 So i have a question, i have a cache i want to place soon, but I cannot decide if it's a small or a regular. I am leaning towards regular, but the guidelines are making me second guess. The one on the left is one i'm also planning on hiding, i found the exact container yesterday, and it was listed as a small. I put it as well as the duck tape in there as a size reference. The one on the right is mainly in question, but the guidelines make me question both. Thx for your help!! Cache Sizes These sizes apply to all caches that have a physical container. Micro (35 mm film canister or smaller – less than approximately 3 ounces or .1 L – typically containing only a logbook or a logsheet) Small (sandwich-sized plastic container or similar – less than approximately 1 quart or 1 L – holds trade items as well as a logbook) Regular (plastic container or ammo can about the size of a shoebox) Large (5 gallon/20 L bucket or larger) Quote Link to comment
+dfx Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 The one on the left is definitely a small. The one on the right frequently gets listed as regular, but personally I'd put it as small - an ammo can sized cache is definitely regular, and if you're in doubt, it's better to choose one size too small. IMO anyway. Quote Link to comment
+WRASTRO Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I would consider it a small. Quote Link to comment
+Ecylram Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'd classify both as "small". The one on the right would only classify as a regular if it holds more than 1 liter. Hard to tell, but to me it looks like its 1-liter or less. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I've used both sizes. The one on the left I'd call small and the one on the right, regular. Quote Link to comment
+hawkeyetob Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 If we were voting I would concur with left = small, right = regular. Happy Geocaching! - hawkeyetob Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 If it's "less than approximately 1 quart or 1 L" then it's a small. If it's larger than that then it's a regular, unless it's larger than "5 gallon/20 L" in which case it's a large. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'd call both of them smalls. But I wouldn't be upset if some cacher called it a regular in thier hide. Quote Link to comment
+NicknPapa Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Left is small. From here the one on the right could go either way, I would call it small just because someone finding something bigger than they expected probably won't get mad, finding something smaller than they expected could be a whole different story. Especially if they have kids along. Quote Link to comment
