You’ll need:

  • Materials: Two pieces of wood (about 1″ x 3.75″ x 1/8″ each) Thin sheet metal (about 2″ x 3.75″) Two #8 machine screw lock nuts Two #8 machine screws, 3/4″ long Ten #8 machine screw washers Glue that is able to bond wood to metal (not pictured) Wood stain (optional) Polyurethane (optional)
  • Tools: Drill and bit set Tin snips Sand paper/sanding block Small binder clamps Pencil Ruler
  • Source Tips: Paint stir sticks are a good size to be used for the wood pieces. These are generally free at the paint section of most hardware stores. For the sheet metal, I used a baking sheet that I found at dollar tree for $1. This yields about 13″ x 9″ of metal.

If you are geocaching then you have probably joined a local group or site. If not, that should be at the top of the to-do list. By joining a site you can get a better idea of how far away the new location is as well as learn what you should bring. In some cases there are even little tips and tricks to finding the exact location. Sites offer valuable information that can help you determine where you go next. You can even share information with other members and post your experience at particular sites.  Click HERE for the rest of the article
