    The above is a camo mint tin with magnets. Good to stick on bridges or under seats etc. Classes as small. Also there is a magnetic nano which believe it or not has a log book inside. Finger added for indication how small the micro is<br><br>
    Ughh came out sideways. Hard to post pic from phone.</p>

    <p>First few we got lucky, the cach was hidden in a hole in a tree in one case which made things easy but searching for something that size is gonna be taxing even if you actually have Andre the Giant hands in real life.</p>

    <p>Yeah I went out with the better half and my sons who worship the ground she walks on. When it was just me the whole "Dad this sux" stuff came out in spades.</p>

    <p>Hid 3 caches over the last few days which have all been published now and logged with 'first to finds' very quickly after going live.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Also did a few caches over the weekend - about 10 in total.</p>

    <p>Is the upgrade worth it ? I haven't needed to so far, still quite a few in the vicinity to keep us occupied.</p>

    I think so. Way more caches and better quality ones too. <br><br>
    But do all the free ones you can first then upgrade if still in to it as its about $45 fr a year so not that cheap

    Have 4 of my own caches out there now and a few finds on them too. <br><br>
    Finds up to 80 now but dropped my new iPhone 6s and shattered the screen. $300 later and yeah not as keen to use it for caching now. May have to break out the handheld gps

    The Mrs and I were trying to come up with ideas for activities to do in winter that won't harm our house saving plans. Gave this a go and had a great time, found some nice little walkways and nature reserves we weren't aware of. Already planning our first cache and are looking to take the neices out for a day, reckon they'd be all over it.

    Awesome Rembrandt! <br>
    The more finds you do, the better your ideas will be for placing our own cache. Found a couple of amazing ones this week. One of them I had to blow down a pipe to create pressure to raise the cache out of a tube in a garden. So well done!
