Did a TB drop off to one of my own caches this morning. Having a look through the log book, I realised its still the original one, as is the container. Checking, I found that this cache- GCYZ1H ▼ CARORICA, Gladstones TB Motel, has never been disabled, never gone missing, and never AFAIK, been discovered by muggles.
The container is a length of 100mm PVC pipe, about 750mm long, so its not a micro or a small, in fact its quite sizeable. And its hidden under a pile of rocks, in the middle of an area that is mowed on a fairly regular basis.
I will admit, back in my early days, I did put a lot more effort into my containers, but this one has outlived just about all of my other caches.
So, if anything, a bit of a lesson for newbies, make sure your container is durable, and suitable to the location your going to place it in. I recently came across a cache, that was an ammo can- usually the pinnacle of container durability- which had almost completely rusted away, due to it having been placed in a beach environment. And choose a location that is hidden away from where the public usually doesn't go.
