+briansnat Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Exactly what it says. The cache is magnetic, meaning that it's probably stuck to metal. It's also most likely a micro. Quote Link to comment
+FolsomNatural Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Righto! The cache is a box or a bag with magnets inside, so the owner can hide it on anything metal. The first one I came across was a metal pole with a bush growing around the back side of it. I looked under the bush and finally found it attached to the non-visible side of the pole.

+KristenSh Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Actually, in the trickier caches, it can also mean that the cache itself is made of something magnetic ... I read about one of those. Just worth pointing out ... check the rating! But yeah, it usually means it involves a magnet attaching the cache to something else. Quote Link to comment
