Geocache: Concrete spray over a film box

This is one of my own caches I placed somewhere, if you find it you'll realize it anyways, so I won't tell where is it.
Concrete spray over a film box.
Not much is needed for this, a small film box or any container that is small enough to fit into a hole in an old concrete object and some stone/concrete like spay to cover your container. These pictures I took after the box was out there for over eight months. I was really happy to see how good it is resisting the climate, the geocachers handling it... okay 4 finds so far, but no DNFs, it is not in a paradise  for geocaches, but still it is surviving out there nicely.

Geocache: Tree branch

Image
It is one of the sneaky hides out there. Can be disappointing for new geocachers, but when you first manage to spot one of these you will be really happy. Hard to spot when inserted If you plan to hide one like this, make sure you do not hurt the tree, they are alive and this game is more peaceful than that. You do not need much to replicate this hide, only a piece of branch, a hole in a tree, a container and a screw. Make sure to use the same type of branch as the tree or else it will be too obvious. The above cache is located in the Netherlands in a small park, it was really nice to walk around there and find this geocache.

Geocache: Get the film out of the pipe

Image
Now this is one of those geocaches that I heard of but never saw one personally till the day we were in Belgium on the road back to the Netherlands. It all started with let's stop at a geocache to avoid highway and then came look there is another one just a few meters down the road, and this was the one. Guess what we kept on going on with that serie as there were many cool hides out there. The film is ready to be caught ... When we turned on that dirt road and I spotted the geocache from the car I got so excited that I did not really pull down thinking who else would come this way. We jumped out and went for the geocache with a huge smile on our face, finally we meet one of these. The geocache is not too much hidden A pipe with many holes attached to a tree. How complicated could that be? Well at first we thought we'll need to find some tools in our geocaching bag, but then we saw the two metal stick hanging there and we knew the tools are also provided.

Geocache: Lizard

When walking on a trail and finding similar caches, like many PET preforms, or film canisters or other micros after a while it can get boring and especially when walking with kids they will loose interest soon. That is why I'm always happy to follow trails where the person or team who put the caches in place put some extra effort to better hide the caches. The below example is from the Netherlands, covering a micro container. Lizard as the guard. It is hidden on the back of a traffic sign at a crossing. The cool part of it is that it could actually be a lizzard there, so it even makes the hide more muggle-safe.
