I did a cache in Unity yesterday that used one of those containers. I think it gives a better seal than a traditional plastic container.
We've seen quite a few of these, and yes, I agree with Sudonim that they seem to keep a better seal than the usual (Sterilite/Dollar Store) plastic containers. (Can't beat Tupperware or an ammo can, though! :D :D )
have seen quite a few of these used for caches. Now I know where to buy them if I coose. Thanks Sue.

Hey Brad,Wally World is where I got my Lock n Lock and they have all kinds of sizes to fit your needs.:D
Now I know.
I agree, they are defiantly better than a Rubbermaid or Gladware container, but for the same money or less I will take the ammo can any day. It is tough to beat $4 for a 30 cal ammo can. A Lock N Lock of a similar size is about $6 unless you buy a big set.
UGH!! I can't believe so many of you folks like them.:confused: I can't say about caches, but at home in the kitchen for leftovers and other storage usages they suck!:eek: I can never get all four sides to seal, one or two at best. After they experience hot water when washing they warp and never are the same. I certainly wouldn't consider them for a cache, too much of a chance for leakage. Thats been my experience folks and for all you coin collectors......thats my two cents worth. :D :cool: :DQuote:

I am really interested in seeing how they look this spring after going through the winter. The was I see it it is far cheeper to spend more $ on a good cache container cause it is cheaper in the long run when you consider the cost of maintaing and replaceing a cheeper container and all that is in it.
And yes, I did learn my lesson from my first 2 attempts at placing caches useing gladware :)
I may be reviving an old thread here but J C Penney had a sale on lock-n-lock containers starting today (Friday October 19) through "while they last" for a 16 piece lock and lock set for $19.88
It's ok to revie an old thread - that's a great sale and being one who doesn't always read the flyers - Thank You!:DQuote:
