Geez Louise . . . I DNFed and I never even got a hint from Hiram. :)

My advice is to run it under cool water for 10-15 minutes . . . unless you're Hiram in which case I would say to run it under a cool Fosters for 10-15 minutes, making sure to take a swig every 20-30 seconds to make sure the Fosters is still cool. :)

I found the same type of cache yesterday and the owner just put it in a ziplock. I think that would work just fine for yours too. You could also get the 88 cent waterproof match container from Walmart and epoxy a magnet to it. I have a couple of those ready to place but just don't have time right now.

Speaking of magnets . . . where is a good source to find magnets? Of course I'm just asking this out of curiosity since I obviously would not be interested in using them to construct a micro. :rolleyes:

Like I mentioned in my thread and Terry in his, Wally World has quite a selection of magnets in the craft section where those small baggies are also located.

Oops. I missed those responses on baggies for some reason. Thanks for the response though John and for putting up with me . . . it appears as though I'm missing more than just some illusive micros . . . now I'm missing responses to my own threads and questions. :)

Locally, Bangor Hardware has a selection from tiny ones to some large enough to hang an ammo box (Don't think I haven't thought of doing that!). I get the 3/4 inch round ceramic magnets for my photo marbles at either of the craft stores on Stilwater Ave. If you have an old hard drive, you can take them apart for some super strong neodymium magnets.

I grabbed a couple plastic key cases with a stout magnet for micros. They were sumpin like $1.29 at the local hardware store. I also have a few plastic 35mm film cans in the mix. Now to find a good local opportunity...

Wicked. I might have to stop by Bangor Hardware today then . . . I like the folks there and I have an idea that requires a magnet . . . a very specific shape magnet so if they don't have it there I'll check the craft places on Stillwater. Thanks BrDad.

I have a place online to get magnets the size of a nickle that will hold 10 pounds. I got a pack of them and it is unreal how strong they are. I got a blood blister from two of them. When I get back home to my other computer I will post the URL.

I'd be interested in seeing the link.

They seem to have it all. :)

Tear apart some old hard drives--really powerful magnets inside, small and flat--perfect for micros (or holding lots of papers on the fridge--warning, this is also one of the final warning signs that yes, you may indeed be a geek). :o

Opps, Dave already suggested this--oh well, it *is* a good source for free magnets.

If I make a serious attempt at a cache and strike out, I log a DNF. I logged 2 DNF's in one day for Laughing Terry's first "In Plain Sight" cache!! I thought I owed it to him for being so clever. A note might be more appropriate at times.

I spent this week in Atlanta and tried to find 4 caches near our location. My first attempt at caching outside of Maine but mostly urban micros. Found 2, logged a DNF on one due to muggles (who hides a cache in front of a supermarket anyhow??:rolleyes: ) and posted a note on one. The cache was at a "cement pond" with fountains and goldfish in front of an office building. The cache description warned about nesting geese in the springtime and sure enough the site was roped off with warning signs. Nesting geese are worse than charging moose:D. I thought a note reinforcing the goose warning was OK as the cache owner noted that springtime was not the best to attempt this one.

Hey, it's only a game...right??
