Pictures - Cool Cache Containers (CCC's)

3.4k · April 17, 2012

A genuine imitation surveyors monument. Contains a SMALL, not MICRO, cache. I made this some time ago and only this weekend took some pictures of it on a maintenance run. Concrete casting with an abbreviated Therapak Medium Canister inside. A brass hose-end cap provides the disc.

Think this would fool anyone?

Sitting out in plain site.

This cache has been lurking among Google's buildings in Mountain View, California, for about a year and a half.

Biscuit tin!

Our attempt at "cool"

Should make a good place to stay for TBs passing through France ...

Obviously being a biscuit tin it won't be place out in the rain :rolleyes:

Here's a nasty one, made with construction adhesive. It's a lock n lock, meant to be hidden upside-down. The lid doesn't have anything glued to it, just spraypainted brown.

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: Love it.

There used to be a fake benchmark cache near me several years back. I remember the day that somebody posted a DNF on the cache, but stated in their log that they did, however, find the benchmark nearby. :lol:

Hmm, I don't think I've found that one yet. I'll have to keep that in mind...

Here's a decent one in Australia. Got permission from the CO to film it

"Creative" doesn't do it justice.

That, Sir, is pure freekin' genius!

Though I think I dated myself in the video.

At first, I thought the port-o-potty was a Tardis.

Thank you! Believe me, if I could have found a TARDIS in that scale, I would have used it.

Very COoL!! and +100 for TARDIS

How about this evergreen cover?

beautiful ... but you have to improve your skill in cloning the sand

Pretty evergreen, but won't the a/c get overheated quickly?

Thats what I was thinking...I would rather have an ugly working A/C, then a 90 degree house with a fake pretty shrub.

Could it be just to cover it up in the winter (for us northern folks that get snow).

I think they can be used year round.

It may be made from mesh so that it can breathe.

found an old Motorola pager in a cache one day....and it got me to thinking

so I took a bison and found that it was almost the same dimensions as a AA battery

machined bison to AA size, carefully peeled a real AA battery label off and

adhered to the bison

stuck it in the pager and clipped it to a hedge branch

I took many coords and got perfect

published and it still took everyone way too long to find

had to finally archive because dang geocachers destroyed the bush

ended up giving it to a GC Lackey and waiting for it to re-publish somewhere

in the Pacific NW

sorry about the blurry pics but you get the idea, cant find pics of the finished

battery (bison) but just imagine it

A horse themed cache near me:

Within a couple hundred feet of an equestrian center.

I found this one over the weekend, best container yet. Being a big fan of Castaway I really got a kick out of it.

Awesome. I found one of a similar style recently. The clapper for the wind chime is a bison tube.

Ive got a series in Oxfordshire, England that is getting positive reviews.

Most of the containers are unusual and/or cool and each has a theme. I didn't take photos before I laid them but when people take photos Ill show them here. This is chip he is the bomb disposal expert of the pack so his cache is a puzzle box. Very tricky to open. The logbook is inside.

I found the exact same box in a small town in Ontario Canada. Took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to get into the box. A good Aha! moment.

Of the same puzzle box was in two different places, it's either fr sale somewhere or the plans are on the Internet somewhere. Does anyone have any more info about that puzzle? It sounds like something I need!

July 5, 2012

This is my current project. Its gonna be called something like "pain in the grass" or "snake in the grass" or something along those lines.

Im gonna go and find some rubber snakes and some smaller plastic toy snakes. My plan is to epoxy 1 large rubber snake around the container, like its constricting it, and glue some of the smaller, stiff, plastic snakes all over it.

Then, on the inside, Im gonna hang a 14 inch rubber snake from the insider of the lid. Planning on threading some braided fishing line thru the snake in 3 places, then running the line thru small 1/2" drilled blocks on the inside of the lid. So when its opened the snakes pops out and then hangs there :anitongue:

edit...and yes, that is my lawn currently <_<

This one would be great if you could get permission to hide it in a sports stadium that has artificial grass.

Im not sure if we have any stadiums with turf in the area.

One of mine made recently with a reflector and a fishing leader. There was holes in the winter slide.

Yeah, after I posted that I remembered they have this new website called Google that makes it easier to find stuff on the web. I should use it more often!

Thanks for the help though!

Hi all.

Just wanna say hi and show you one of my newest caches. And my biggest.

You have to get the ball all the way to the last hole, to get the code for the lock that opens the drawer, that holds the logbook. He he.

Still they will use more power to cool down the house.

I would plant something around it as it would actually help the AC.

July 9, 2012

fizeman, that is amazing. I sure hope that cache is pmo and somewhere far from where someone can muggles it.

July 10, 2012

In Mt. Gretna, PA. Not sure if it's been posted yet but needs no explanation.

I entered 5 cool cache containers in the geolympix yesterday in Oxford. One of them won. Though all 5 impressed. The lil kids loved the fake dog poo cache. Ill post some photos tonight.

July 23, 2012

As promised:

Poo Cache - The kdis LOVED this! It withstood a day of kids grabbing it so its pretty sturdy.

Spider Cache - This wont he cunning cache comp at the Geolympix. There is a nano underneath.

Brick Cache - Foam brick coated with weather reistant. Prob an underocver cache.

Schroedingers Cache - My favourite. For those who know what Schroedingers cat is. This cache has been muggled and not muggled at the same time.

July 23, 2012

Eeew poo!

I love the Schroedinger's Cache. Please put that out so I can watch the listing as people find it. I can just imagine the logs.

July 23, 2012

I've got opening ceremony tickets which I have to go get. Its all I can think of at the moment. SO it will be placed early next week with an idea of going live for the weekend. When it does Ill post a message on here.
