There have been several mini caches here that use a 1 pint paint
can. These aren't as small as a film canister, but they are
fairly small and can be hidden most anywhere.
Another cache used coin tubes. I haven't seen this cache myself,
but I think these tubes are transparent.
You could also use empty prescription containers. Most of these
are transparent and have tight fitting caps and come in a variety
of sizes.
One other idea would be one of the smaller plastic mayonnaise jars
or the equivalent.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Micro Cache Advice
I have decided to place an urban area micro cache here in Tucson. I
need
some advice on what to use as the container.
I thought about a film canister but I think that would be too small.
After
the let down of the game last night I put together a small container
with
PVC and ABS pipe as a test. I think it is the perfect size, but wonder
if
given the events of Sept. 11 it would be wise to place a piece of PVC
somewhere public? I would hope that it wouldn't be found by anyone
other
than a geocacher, and I would have the container clearly marked, but I
would hate to have the bomb squad out thinking it was a pipe bomb. I
guess
though that this is something to be concerned about with any urban
cache.
Any thoughts?
