Hmm, would you happen to have suggestions for smaller containers to use to make caches? I've read of like ammo boxes being decent, but that always struck me as working best for more remote spots, or maybe I've overestimated their sizes a bit.

(Also this is how I found that there aren't many geocaching communities across instances to ask this in, lol)

most people who do "micro caches" use pill bottles, like when you get a prescription.

geocaching.org also sells cache containers.

I've seen many Bison Tubes sold online, small Tupperware containers that have a locking lid, even peanut butter jars covered in camo tape are somewhat common. The best ones are custom made. Some great ones are 3D printed to fit in (think oversized acorn in a tree). I also enjoy everyday objects that are out of place like a pop up sprinkler head placed in the ground with the log inside. I made one that was a log where I bored out the middle. Those hide a key fake rocks work nicely as well.
