+Hypnopaedia Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 If I really can't come up with a name I make naming the cache an FTF prize. I've gotten a couple of good ones that way. Quote Link to comment

I have hidden a cache which is a mini ammo can so I wanted to try to include a reference to ammo can in the title ....any ideas?? "A "creative" cache I bought off the internet". Or. "You've probably seen hundreds of these". Nah, Just Kidding. I've seen at least 15 of these caches so far. Good the first time, but really become "meh". Anyway, i've never seen anyone give them a creative name, they usually do a small mention in the description about how its an ammo box without giving away the size. Quote Link to comment
+Ambient_Skater Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I'm awful at coming up with names. I always name them after the location. I like Honey, I shrunk the cache though. Quote Link to comment

+Ambient_Skater Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 And the plot thickens... Wow, they couldn't be on my team account. The plot is so thick! It's never been this thick before! Quote Link to comment
+GeoBlank Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Maybe then "My First Hide" would be appropriate Or "Sock Puppet Cache" Quote Link to comment
+tracybug Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 thanks everyone for your suggestions! I know that someone mentioned these have been used too many times before, but I have never seen one in my area so thought it would be something different to hide. Quote Link to comment

Creative caches are regional. I've seen nearly 20 of those fake electrical plates attached to a lamp post, or those things that measure electricity. However, in some area's they are unheard of. On the same front, I've only ever seen one fake fence post cap, so a few more of them could be needed. If you don't have any in your area, go for it! My first one was great! Quote Link to comment

Hey, yeah, there's not too many of those in "our area". We've found one. I knew what it was beforehand, but didn't tell my husband. It's a hoot when you find the ammo can. I wouldn't put anything in the name to give it away. Or on the cache page. But that's me, eh? Quote Link to comment

+SeekerOfTheWay Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Disagree. List the size so those of us that dislike micros can filter them out. I searched for an hour for one of those that was listed as other. Cache page said ammo can so I figured they made a mistake. I was really annoyed to find a micro ammo can. It wasn't fun.

Pup Patrol Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) I think that's what the one we found does...mentions an ammo can, but the size listed is "unknown". If you don't look up at the "size", it works out great. The cache page even lists the original contents. Doesn't specify the size of those contents, though. As I said, I knew about it because I had read the previous logs, and it wasn't hard to figure out what we would be looking for. It was fun for hubby to find the cache. Apparently a lot of other people enjoyed it, too, going by the logs and the fact that the cache has 3 favorite points. Edited August 20, 2011 by Pup Patrol Quote Link to comment
+tracybug Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 So if I decided to allow the first person to name the cache, will the publisher allow me to change name after its already submitted? Quote Link to comment
Pup Patrol Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 So if I decided to allow the first person to name the cache, will the publisher allow me to change name after its already submitted? That's an interesting "FTF prize". As far as I know, yes, you can change the name of your cache as often as you like. The entire cache page can be edited after being published, in fact.

+dphickey Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I have no hides yet, but a mini ammo can brings to mind a few ideas: 'Size doesn't matter' 'Derringer's reload' 'Minnie-me Ammo' Quote Link to comment
+EdrickV Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Nobody's actually done a simple "Ammo Can?" yet. Quote Link to comment
