Troutonthebrain Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) As promised: Poo Cache - The kdis LOVED this! It withstood a day of kids grabbing it so its pretty sturdy. We owned one of those dog poop caches where we lived. Someone said it went missing and we couldn't find it so we archived the cache. Fast forward a year and a half we went back to the spot to hide a new cache and found the dog poop! We published our new cache at the spot and hid the dog poop elsewhere. For some reason now somebody stole the dog poop part from the new geocache and left the container. Now why on earth would someone want fake dog poop. I will never know...

I remember the original. I found it in my first few months of geocaching, and it really inspired me to do caches that go beyond simply hiding a container in a stump. Quote
Chino1130 Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 This is one of my favorite ones that I've found. It looks simple but took a good 25 minutes to find. I must have walked past it a dozen times. Quote
+hobgoblinkiteflier Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 I have also found a spider on my recent travels. He's called Boris and he likes to hang around in trees: Nearby was his friend Lola created by the same crafty cache owner. It just goes to show that proper camouflage is not always necessary: I'm sure this next one has been in this thread already, but I couldn't find it. It did seem a bit delicate to be leaving out in the wild, but we found it soon after it was hidden. I believe you can buy them on some internet auction site: Quote

I've so far found 4 that use it within 20 miles of my house. It's fun the first time you see it but after 2 I couldn't be bothered with it - it's possible to open it by using a very narrow blade.

I think I have heard about that cache though. You out geo-age us by awhile (you started in 2005 according to the profile and we started near the end of 2008 and we started hiding in 2009). Our first dog poop cache was GC1XAYG DIPO Dirty and the second was GC35N6Y Somebody Ate Something They Shouldn't Have! Quote

+hobgoblinkiteflier Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Is that a mail box? No, it is a cylindrical plastic container. The face is on the lid. Quote
Team Soupbones Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I'm sure this next one has been in this thread already, but I couldn't find it. It did seem a bit delicate to be leaving out in the wild, but we found it soon after it was hidden. I believe you can buy them on some internet auction site: I had one like that recently get muggled. I hid it well in a camouflaged canvas bag as well with a card explaining it is a Geocache. They took the cube puzzle and chucked the bag and the card, which I managed to retrieve so I can use it again. set it up at a nice lookout nearby and asked cachers to bring a chair, and sit and enjoy the view between pulling their hair out trying to open it. Now it seems there are cheat ways to open it, i may have to modify the new one when it arrives. Quote
Team Soupbones Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I also have an unusually coloured cache. Called the Pink Cat ( unfortunately no photo ), its a soft toy pink cat that has a pocket in it, and a zipper on the tail which hides a film container with the cache. I sprayed it with scotch guard and its hidden under a bridge. funnily enough, being bright pink doesn't seem to make it any easier to find. It gets a number of DNFs every month. Quote

+4thnoel Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 I do not know why but I cannot view any of the pictures. Quote
+Benchmarkone Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) This isn't exactly a cool container but it's got some cool additions to it that i wanted to share. This is a themed cache I just submitted for review. The container is an ordinary lock-and-lock: ...but the contents are all in a musical theme and include a variety of toy musical instruments: The interesting feature is what's attached to the logbook. I found one of those ''where'd I park my car'' keychain digital recorders at a garage sale and made it part of the cache: I also included a goofy horn as a FTF prize: Edited August 13, 2012 by Benchmarkone Quote
+BCandMsKitty Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Well, these aren't necessarily cool, and lots of folks don't like micros, but I believe there are places they are appropriate, and if so, these containers I'm gonna show you how to make are lots better than a film canister, and cheap because you are recycling bottles you would normally throw away. The idea for making these came from a friend and local caching buddy. They've been in service for several years and stay quite dry inside. Here are a couple of pics to show their sizes. The smaller ones were made using the large pop bottles. The "M" on some means I've glued a rare earth magnet in it. Size comparison with a film canister. actual dimensions Complete with logs. If you're interested, Here's a link to a small tutorial on how they are put together. Edited August 16, 2012 by BC & MsKitty Quote
+hobgoblinkiteflier Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 This is one of my caches which gets some good responses from those that find it. The log is inside the smallest container and each container fits inside the next biggest - like a russian doll. Quote

I have a hard enough time getting cachers to properly close just one container lid! Quote
+JakeBond Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I purchased these to use as containers but never got around to using them. I'm in NYC and would love to give them to anyone that thinks they could be put to use. I'm selling them on craigslist here: http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/for/3212192605.html However I'd love to just give them to a fellow GCer. LMK. JakeBond JakeBond70@gmail.com Quote
+seldon Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 How do you open/close the one with the toes? Quote

You'll notice that I have my official geocache sticker on the outside of the cache, as recommended in the article. And living in Alaska, we tend to use a little more common sense than assuming everything is a bomb... :laughing: Quote

+BBWolf+3Pigs Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Here's a nano I recently put out as a LPC. By ohiosioux at 2012-08-16 It looks like all you did was glue some of the parts togther to "disable" the trap. I would have snipped the "tails" of the springs (the parts that touch the wood base) to truly render the cache harmless. Quote

+The Ravens Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Why disable it????? Just up the difficulty! I like that idea! Quote
Chino1130 Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Don't they auto resize to fit browser? They do on both my iPad and my PC... My bad if not Quote
+niraD Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Yes, browsers resize the images so their width fits, but the images are still 2GB. Not everyone has broadband. Quote
Chino1130 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Sorry about that folks. I'll be more careful about that from now on. Quote
+Dogfort Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 That is fantastic. Fancy selling me some? Quote
