How Small Is A Micro?

[+Dan-oh]

So Altiods tins and 35mm film cans are certainly micros but when do they become a standard sized cache? I have a large(ish) container but the part that will actually hold the stash is 2" deep x 4" round. Would this be considered a micro or is it a standard? I could add a note that smaller items would fit better.

 

I think the container and camo job is fairly unique and I don't wan't someone to be put off by the "micro" designation if it really isn't.

I recently have seen the popularity of the little plastice breath strip containers in the area. These little buggers can be hid about anywhere!!!

It's still a mirco, just describe the size of the container on the page.

If you have to ask if its BIG enough, it probably isn't.

I call my decon boxes micros (they are a little larger than a pack of cigarettes), just so people know not to bring large stuff to exchange.

You can even stick this on the page if you want. I've used it a few time.

Some people are embarrassed by it. This guy not only embraces it but POSTS A SIGN!

 

Sign like a small traditional (cache) to me. I would definately appreciate something in the description to let me know to bring small items. It also helps the finder know what they are looking for.

The spam in my inbox seems to suggest the same thing.

Something about ... on second thought, nevermind.

It isn't the size of the container that makes it fun it's the.......

 

nevermind

How about this. If it has rome for several trade items, then is not a micro. I would list it has a small reg type cache. I like the idea of listing the cache size. The smalles micro I have found was a container for mechanical pencil refills.

I would also list the size of the container on the cache page so people will know not to bring larger items to trade.

When I first started playing the game, a sandwich-sized tupperware container was 'regular' sized. Anything smaller is a micro, in my opinion.

Although I am still new, the smallest I have seen is the Seed Pod Cache. The two containers are the diameter of a pencil and about 1.5" long. Just getting the log out and back into the container too more time than finding it.

 

I haven't seen anyone mention anything small than these yet.

Here are myQuarks. I made these from Ink pens. the pens come with a screw on cap and the diameter of the pen is just big enough for a rolled up log (BYOP) You can hide these things anywhere. I have hidden 9 from very easy to extremely hard to find and have had good comments about them from the people who have found them.
