Once in a while, I found a container that made me laugh or puzzled me. If you have pictures of oddities, drop one in there. Please do not give away location and spoil the surprise.

No photo ,but we did once find a 2" lump of fake used pink chewing gum with a nano concealed it . It was very realistic.
We like Greens
One of the best I have seen recently was the bonus for the Holwsorthy Woods Series, I shall not describe it as it would soil it for others who have yet to find it but I will say that it is brilliant. If your are ever in the Devon area it is a must to do.
Have seen a few snails that were attached to trees, pine cones and even a magnetic door handle (very clever)
Even found one inside a soft toy rat.

I've met a couple of rat's with the cache up their bum.
The funniest one was the rubber chicken, easy to spot close up, but brought a much needed smile after a long steep hill.
The first one that made me jump was a realistic looking rubber snake attached with an almost invisible line to a big piece of bark. When you lift the bark the snake jumps - and so did I.
The one glued to a hubcap was good too, I think I lifted the cap 3 times to look under it before I spotted it. It was placed in a hedge along the road and looked like any other cap that had popped off...
A cache a day ..
When does an unusual cache become litter? A beautiful, local park with landscaped pathways along a stream has a Lock 'n' Lock container inside an old, electric kettle thrown under a footbridge - it wins points for originality and recycling but anyone else would see this as littering. If it was just a Lock 'n' Lock I'd be happy, the reclaimed kettle makes me feel uncomfortable with it. Where should cachers draw the line?

KRO!
Have to agree with RB on this, I would never think of using anything that could be thought of as rubbish when creating a cache.
I tend to use stuff that could be seen as normal, a log or a stone is quite normal.
We also found one that was in an old sink (in the U bend) left in a little patch of wood. I think the cacher just used the litter that was there as a hide and to send a message about fly tipping in our area ... problem with litter is that one day or another it gets picked up. There was a series of DNFs after we found it. I love the snake one, perfect one for my wife :P
That would be one of BHA Loyal's caches on the Highdown Stroll, a very good series.
hehe, that would be himNever met the cachers in my area yet, but following our finds, we have a lot of clever people in the region. If that sets the standards for our trips further away ... this is going to be fun.
They are a good fun bunch in Sussex, I can recomend a visit to one of the monthly meetings.
We should be back in the area in November.
