Plenty of photo examples already. The name comes from the company that originally sold them, Bison Designs. In the beginning there were two sizes, small and very small. Now any small, aluminum tubular container is commonly called a Bison Tube by geocachers.

It is a tube in a Bisons ear behind the ear drum in which sound travels

 

Why would you respond to a legitimate question in this manner? The OP apparently is relatively new to our hobby and to this forum and asked a simple question. Granted, a Google search would have answered his question, but isn't that what this forum is all about, helping someone with a question?

 

Remember, we all started out with little knowledge of geocaching, and either learned on our own, or read this forum to learn.

 

Remember, you only get one chance at a first impression.

I'm french speaking Belgian, pretty new to Geocaching, and also asked myself where does that term come from.

That's what smileys are for, to convey the meaning of a statement. Had one been present that indicated the post was of a joking nature, then I would not have responded as I did.

Keep in mind too that this is the "Getting Started" forum. Here, it's better to answer all questions (even LMGTFY questions) as helpfully as possible.

Because no matter how hard some people try, they just can't say anything nice. Just wait until you get into the non-Getting Started forums. You'd better have a thick skin for all of the predators that hang out there. :blink:

If those are round; and GC come in square plastic sleeves; how well do they fit?

Micro to 1.5" geocoins would probably fit fine with their sleeves. "Oversize" coins, less so. The stated geocoin capacity was for coins not in sleeves. Edited by Ladybug Kids
