Hey Splinter! Can you help me on some geocaching? It seems like a great thing for a weekend or similar. But if I am to make my own cache, what material for a container should I use? How can I find the exact coordinates while making a cache?, (Exact to the thousandths place, NEWays....) what does TFTC mean? Thanks For That Cache? TYOP? Take Your Own Pen? Any other acronyms I should know? Thanks in advanced! -PKT
Gladly! The best materials to use are ammo boxes and containers called "Lock-and-Lock containers. Other common caches are bison tubes and black magnetic nanos. You can camouflage these containers any way you like but some people get creative, disguising them as common, ordinary things. I'm not exactly sure how you can obtain the coordinates without a GPS, but you could try placing them near some kind of landmark and find the coordinates on Google Maps.
I found my first 20 caches without a GPSr, it's actually really easy to do. Just copy the coordinates from the cache page and paste them into Google Maps. Take a screenshot of the area and try to match up the arial view with what you see when you arrive. You could do the same with this map (overlaid with cache locations, I don't know if it's members only though).
You got those two right! There's also TFTF (thanks for the find) and TFTH (thanks for the hunt). Another common one is FTF, which means First To Find. My favorite is Muggle, which is a person who is unaware of geocaching (make sure they don't spot you opening a cache!).
Here is a list of all the terms:

Also, if you take something from a cache, replace it with something of equal or greater value. That way there's always something to trade.
A bison tube is a small, cylindrical container with a screw on cap that is attached to a key ring. It's easy to hide by hanging it from objects like branches.
Took me forever to find my first one. I was literally staring at it for the longest time before I saw it.

I signed up and looked for a few by me, and there's one right where me and my buds hang out. Weird, it's a few blocks away, taking a camera, and pencil and notebook be back soon.
Cool, hope you enjoy the hunt! Show me a picture of the cache, if you can. When I first found out about caching, I was amazed to find that some of the caches were in places that I'd walked by every day!
(The images above are pictures of caches I've found, I forgot to mention that in my original post.)

Have you thought of minting or creating your own geocoin? Maybe get a metal stamp?

Is 1500 ft a good enough distance between a cache? I have a nearby creek, and it has at least 30+ spots to hide a cache! However, somone has a cache very nearby where I want to put mine. Thus, i want to place it approximately 1500 ft. -PKT
The minimum distance between caches is .1 mile, or 500 feet. 1500 is more than enough, you should be fine. : )

Im planting my first multi-cache! (They are about 20 ft away form eachother, but hey, ill give them a good riddle... and a workout :D ) -PKT
Sure, go ahead. The funny thing is that when I first made my name, the only Google results for a Spl1nt3rC3ll search would be my Instructables stuff. Now, there's 11,000 Spl1nt3rC3lls. I'm the original. : )
Awww. We had a two hour delay today and will have a two hour delay tomorrow. :D
We had a two hour delay today too :D But we had a really dumb schedule and didn't get to skip our first two classes -_- Hopefully it will snow on Tuesday night and we'll have a snow day :D
I had three snow days in a row. The only downside is that I'm completely snowed in now.
We had snow days on Thursday and Friday. And then yesterday it snowed all day.

If you want me to make the Instructables Robot smaller and bigger, just ask. I won't ~~kill your family~~ bite.
Sweet, I'll try it out. Uh, hold on a sec... *digs holes for ~~land mines~~ flowers in the yard*.

Weird. I haven't seen you around Instructables for a while!
Schoolwork's been eating up all my time and sanity, I've been doing an average of five hours of homework a day.
Just testing it out. : ) I was thinking my original doesn't show up on some computers; It looks plain white on the school's.

Yeah, I guess it is a bit white. But the dog was really cute.
Yea, I'm going to change it back. The dog is kinda my signature drawing.
Thanks! :)
Apparently I thought that I already posted this. Sorry for the delay. ;).

How'd you do that? Did you type in Gig Harbor? That development is really easy to spot. :P

A magician never reveals his secret.
I'm not a magician, so I'll tell you.
I just typed in Gig Harbor and then looked around. Took about 45 seconds - 1 minute and 30 seconds. Pretty easy.
If I uploaded a picture of my house (or like around it), it would be easy to spot because my city is small. West Covina, oh boy, that's different.

*Checks pantry* I do have an old lightbulb and some lamp oil! I'm making this tomorrow!
Here's an idea: add some fragrance instead of lamp oil and you have one of these:

Thanks for the nice welcome into your group... just one question, what group is it?
Thanks for sharing your project, and welcome to Instructables!
Let me know if you have any questions.
You've probably already found your way around, but in case you haven't seen these, here's a guided tour of Instructables and an Instructable for making Instructables.
