I just found a cache yesterday that was in one of those Thermometers

“Don’t bury your geocaches underground where it requires a shovel to retrieve them.” They can be partially burried provided no digging is required to retrieve the cache.

These are all very creative, and possibly entertaining.

Have a cache like that here in Calgary, (GC25ND5 Archimedes). I thought of a show I saw where a chimp used a twig to get ants out of a nest. Using a suitable length twig and pushed it up from the bottom. Worked for me.

Brad, there is one of those water pipe ones here in Orange County, CA (Water Pipe GC1MQV8) and the page only tells you to bring two bottles of water. Doesn’t tell you there’s a hole at the bottom that you need to plug with your finger or the water just pours out at the bottom. I had to go back to this one twice, because my first bottle of water poured out of the bottom, and one bottle was not enough to float the cache high enough to grab it. Great cache, but frustrating that first visit!

My most frustrating cache was at a local school. I knew I was right on the cache coordinate wise but could not put the clues together. As I was getting ready to log a DNF I started looking at the electrical utilities near the area of the coordinates. The CO had purchased a separate electrical box and intertwined it with the existing electrical boxes (all which were locked) and once I discovered it I was floored. It was then that I discovered that all caches are not created equal!

These are all very creative, and possibly entertaining, but anything that you have to take apart to find the cache crosses the line, in my opinion. What's the difference between taking apart a sign, or unscrewing reflectors, bolts, water taps, etc. and vandalism? The only difference is permission of the owner and whether everything is replaced properly, and the cacher will generally have no idea whether the CO has the land owner's permission (many do not). There are many careless cachers out there who will rip something apart destructively and not put it back. Like I said, if you have to take a normal fixture apart to find out if it is a cache, it's just bad form.

I think you're misunderstanding my description. There was a stage of a cache in the ground and it was not buried. The final stage of the cache was not buried.

my favorite was an ammo box that had a handle attached to the side to make it look like a high voltage power switch. the box had industrial strength magnets and it was attached to a support beam for a billboard. i walked by it many times thinking that it was the breaker switch for the sign's lights. one of the most creative ones that i have seen.
