The fun in geocaching when you start hiding is that you not only start to see where a hide could fit, but what you could convert to a cahce. Unfortunate but true to most geocachers the safest is to hide a smaller container, that is where I started, and below are some ideas how to do it with vials used in centrifigures.

| Vials |
Just to summarize the ones you see on the image above. The top two are non twist cap and the easiest to get damaged and log would get wet. I stopped using these. The bottom two on the right are also none twist cap ones, I use them (not only as I ordered a bag of 100) they are easy to handle, and close tight after multiple use. The two on the left bottom are the latest I found online have twist cap, I use just started using them, mainly with magnets to better keep them in position.
So here are a few ways of getting them a magnet:
 |
| The vial and a magnet |
 |
Magnet glued to the bottom of the fial, keep it in mind
that this will stick to the object with the end of it. |
 |
| When dried I used gray tape to camouflage. |

You can stick the magnet also to the side,
into the cap or as in above example to the bottom. |
You can use them without magnets as well, depending on the location where you try to hide them. See some more of them below:
Later I'll add pictures taken after they were out in the wild for a while. Mostly in urban areas, on traffic signs, other metal ojects, etc. I would highly not recommend to hide this size out in a tree, forest, etc. Remember that you want others to start playing not stop after all the hard time you gave them.
