Pictures - Cool Cache Containers (CCC's)

[+tgjamin]

While hiking to the APE cache we were making jokes about sasquatch poop (when we found some bear scat) because someone mentioned sasquatch sightings in the area during the GW weekend.

 

This particular poop could be labeled as such... and you do live in Astoria, so the placement would make sense. Just sayin'

Great idea! I might use it for the cache.

Where did you get it? I gotta have one!

 

L freaking O L

 

That is hilarious! Good one

Still funny after 6 years, huh? OK

[+TomToad]

That gives me an idea. A fake cow chip in a field full of cow chips. You have to find the right one. []

[+Minimike2]

A NIP cache? Not for me.

If you have ever seen the movie "The Da Vinci Code" you should recognize this.

 

If I remember the movie (and book) well, dropping the cryptex breaks a glass container full of acid, deleting the coordinates to the next stage. Wow.

I am not going as far as putting the acid/vinegar in the cryptex to delete the coordinates. The Cryptex will be the actual cache container but you will have to figure out the answer to get it open.

[Soxter & Billini]

How kewl is that? That is the first cryptex I've seen with 8 characters. "GEOCACHE"?

 

This challenging one is on another forum page but needs to be added to this amazing list. It was released as part of the BCGA 2010 Geo-Blitz (I’ll see your 8 and raise you 10)

with the people you don't like, can leave them in the cache as swag

[mypaperpast]

 

this is how i do all my log books...i don't enjoy the log books with multiple sheets of paper stapled together and are the worst things to keep organized...trying to roll them back up is just a hassle...this way you just wind the film canister back up and the log book retracts....

[knowschad]

I've found a few like that... one was even inside of an old camera! Another was in a tree outside of a film processor (not many of those left!)

It's hard to tell but it's a bird that's about 4.5 inches tall. I think it's supposed to be a nesting grouse.

Right now, clay.

I will kiln fire it tomorrow. It will "technically" be ceramic when its done. I made it extra thick so it can handle being dropped in the forest where it will be placed (away from rocks).

 

I'm thinking it will live in a nest, on the ground.

Neat. Post a photo when in place. I have thought of doing something similar.

I will.

 

It's pretty easy to make these since I seem to have ended up with a few bird molds. I even have an owl or two. The painting might take some time though.

Here is 1 I did this week. I used a roto-hammer to drill out the brick. Its located in a small city park.

They show up fine for me, even on my blackberry.

They are hosted on Flickr. I really wish that all of the pictures that have been posted to this thread over the years had been posted right here on geocaching.com, so we wouldn't have the broken links on so many of the older threads.

If TPTB made it easier to upload and manage your images, I would probably place them here.

 

BTW, the bricks are just evil.

[+KC7MEL]

Ok going to try this again, some of you were having trouble seeing the last pictures I posted. I made this with a roto-hammer. And placed it in a city park were I noticed a missing brick.

 

The brick fit perfect and it has been a popular cache too.

 

 

I hope every one can see the pictures now.

 

Cheers!

That is truly evil. What level of difficulty did you rate it?

[+KC7MEL]

Ok here is another cache I placed today, the hint for the cache is "Rock & Roll"

 

 

A roto-hammer will pretty much drill through any thing, but I recommend you stay away from granite rocks, they will take a long time to drill a hole into. Bricks are easy and fast. This Rock took me about 15 minutes to drill a big enough hole for the bison tube.

 

 

Cheers!

Way freekin' kewl!

[Andronicus]

I am going to place this one soon. What are your thoughts and are there any ideas where the perfect location could be?

 

 

 

Sweet. I was trying to make one just like that. I have temporaraly given up. How did you cut into the baseball. My dremal just kept smoking and making the ball burn rather than cut. And what is the container? A film canister seemed a little to large.

[+TerraViators]

I've got one that looks just like a tupperware container! It's so cool, cause it blends in with all the other tupperware containers out in the woods!

LOL

I can't believe I found this on page 5!!!!!!!!!

What happened to the associated GC#'s? Sheesh.

Not technically a cache container, but this is probably my most favorite cache hide ever!!

Didn't realize I had a recent reply. Sorry this took so long.

 

The ball is an NCAA approved Diamond practice ball that has a cork center. I used a standard paddle bit and an 18 volt cordless drill. The container is a plastic vial for holding glucose meter test strips (One Touch Ultra) with the label removed and the outer plastic roughed up with sand paper. I trimmed the leather very close and burned down the cloth strings with a palm sized torch. I sprayed the inside with three coats of white primer with 24 hours in between coats because the cork still contains oils that will compromise glue adhesion. I then used a gel super glue from Loctite generously and let it sit for 48 hours to cure completely. I am going to spray the leather with a shoe weatherproofer after handling it with dirty hands a few times to give it color but not allow it to mold.

 

[+Dragery]

I'll post some real pics of some of my favorites so far.

Love all of the ideas. Here is something we have done.. The larger has been placed.

Wow nice work guys !

Tried posting this earlier, and I'm not seeing it, so I'm trying again. Please forgive me if this shows up twice -- or if the picture doesn't show up at all!

 

Here's a cache I've put out near a beautiful lagoon. You have to "fish" it out.

Sorry, clearly I don't know what I'm doing. Can someone tell me how to go about posting a picture to this forum?
