Cache Making
I've been having some fun putting caches together to hide. Here are a couple. I'd like to get into making some of the harder to find caches like fake outlets, rocks, etc. Post some pics of yours if you've made some.

And some more invisible caches.
$3 drain geocache from Lowes.
3" cap and 3" drain cover Sealed with a piece of plastic cut into a circle and hot-glue-gunned in. You have to sand down the connecting points to allow them to be opened easily. The seal is still water tight.
Mossy hockey puck. Literally.
And the mossy waterproof match container.
Here is a larger version of the Drain Geocache that is in use. Instead of the 3" cap I used a 3" coupler and an old water bottle bottom.

I really dig those! I am still new enough that I probably wouldn't have found the drain. I've never seen one like that. Frikkin Cool! Your outlets are sweet as well. Do you have to have a screwdriver to open them? That's one item not in our caching bag.

I have a screwdriver in the conduit yes. The skinny one with the elbow: I cut a hole in the cap of a 35mm canister and hot-glue-gunned it to the bottom of the long piece of conduit so that I could place a small screwdriver into it. Then I buried the cache up to the lid of the 35mm so that it has to be lifted out and the screwdriver drops out! lol It was obviously summer when I made that cache. No way I could put that much thought into one now that school is in session.

Those are really cool! The coolest one we found was a nano that was a rusty bolt with a magnet in the head stuck to a chain link fence. we needed tweezers to get the log out.

Very cool caches. Onethe best I have seen was a Coke magent, that looked like it belonged, stuck on a pepsi machine with the log on the back. Once you realized there was a coke product label on a pepsi machine it was easy. However it took me 20 minutes of looking to realize that.
