Pictures - Cool Cache Containers (CCC's)


AmishHacker

Recommended Posts

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.

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:

"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. :ph34r:

 

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

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

battery (bison) but just imagine it

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.

Evil!!!! And it is somewhere in my neck of the woods..............

 

Wow! You could actually step right on it and not know it!

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.

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 <_<

It's for sale on the internet. Google "puzzle box" and look at the images.

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

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!

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

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

That is not your cache? You probably shouldn't be spoiling other people's surprises.
