NANO


This is a nano or some call it a Mr. Magneto. As you can see its smaller then a nickel and usually painted black. You just unscrew the lid and there is a small log inside. You may want to carry a pair of tweezers with you to get the log out.

BISON TUBE

 

The bison tube is a little bigger then a nano but still only hold a log sheet. A lot of these are stainless steel colored. They all just unscrew from the top. Sometimes people camouflage them and hang them in a tree! These little guys can blend in very well.

MAGNETIC KEY HOLDER

 

Magnetic key holder (MKH)  – Usually these caches just hold a log to sign and sometimes you will find a very small pencil or pen squeezed in!

AMMO CAN or BOX

 

These caches hold everything! Usually they have some toys and a log book and anything else the cache owner wants in there! Sometimes you may even run into a camera inside of the cache. This is for you to take a picture of yourself so the cache owner can see who you are.

SNEAKY CACHES

 

Small sneaky caches! Watch out for these! Just unscrew and you will find a log only cache!

DECON CONTAINERS

 

These usually hold a log book and some small trade items.

 

FAKE ROCK or STONE

 

We have seen lots of different sizes and shapes around.

 

 

MICRO or FILM CONTAINER

 

Usually these just hold a log sheet and maybe a very small pencil or pen.

 

TRAVEL BUGS

 

 If you find a travel bug please move it to another cache. Each TB (travel bug) has a mission or a goal to do. To find out what the owner of the TB wants you to do you need to enter in the number on geocaching.com and try to help it reach its goal! If you don’t plan on helping move it along then leave it in the cache.

 

JEEP TRAVEL BUGS

 

They all have a goal they want to meet. These TB’s are called Jeep TB’s they currently come in 3 different colors. White, Green, & yellow.
