What Kind of Geocache
Can I Place?

Typically, a geocache can be any container that is at least large enough to hold a log book or log roll. It is also known as a stash. These are placed all over the world following certain guidelines and rules depending on the association you join.

There have been many forum posts regarding the largest and smallest geo caches available for hunting. The more creative you are the more buzz your cache will get.

You can pick a neat place to hide it where visitors will want to go just to check the place out. There is a small road in Nashville that leads to the top of a big hill. It is tucked back behind some huge office buildings and you would never know it was there unless someone showed you. At the top of the hill is a small park with some benches overlooking downtown Nashville. What a neat place to place a geo cache. Tell visitors to bring lunch and enjoy!

Many people enjoy placing hard-to-find caches. I once found a microcache hanging by fishing line under a bridge! These people like to make you really hunt for it.

Unique geocaching containers are another way to have fun and draw people to your geocaches. This is a "gum" cache. See the teeny little round part in the center? That unscrews to reveal a log roll to sign. Think you could have spotted it?

An ammobox is pretty common and a favorite among the kids because it usually carries lots of swag (ya know, good trading stuff!) and it seals well so the stuff inside keeps better.
