I fondly remember getting this cache. It was a lot of fun solving the puzzle. I will build a similar cache and deploy it here in Maryland. West Virginia Tim, thanks for the inspiration!
Once I got your email, I just had to watch this video right away! :) Love what you have done with the concept, and very well explained / build! We have completed two more caches in the last few months, maybe I should try and post something on UA-cam myself too! Will share the ideas with you soon anyway! Can't wait till your next video of your new series! Father and friend
Great video! In efforts of lining the holes back up with ease, I would poke the tools through the wood and into a high and low spot on the pipe to realign it, then tighten it down with the tools still inserted. It shouldnt shift that way. Winter is on its way.. I may take a shot at this one in the coming months myself!
I would love to come up with a concept with you. Our area is seriously lacking fun unique caches. I seem to be the only one who makes any sort of an attempt at making unique or gadget caches. I have one similar to this one. It's just a camo'd pvc pipe with the cache at the bottom of it and loose nails right above the cache. The geocacher must bring a magnet to retrieve the nails and then use the nails just like you did, to get the log. I also love when I get favorite points. I want the most favorited Geocache in my city, that's for sure.
gadgetcaches thank you! I'm doing my best. My city is full of generic micros. I want to raise that Geocache bar. It's incredibly important to me. I'm also highly interested in creating difficult EarthCaches. I own 10 now and am working on my 11th and 12th. Two of my current ones involve actual scientific testing. My most difficult and in depth EarthCache takes at least three days to complete because it takes multiple visits to carry out the salinity tests, which I give two options on how to do said tests for one of the logging requirements. I truly look up to you, Tim. You're my geocaching hero! Please keep up the good work!
Hmm.. I want to try this, but with a metal ball bearing and magnets.. That looks irritating using the Allen keys to move the ball.. Love the idea though
+gadgetcaches mine came out okay... tho its not as big, as challenging as yours.. because at the time I did not have this videos of yours to refer to when I built it.. but now that there is a video guide.. thanks to you! :).. I may build another that's better, a bit more challenging!
I was wondering if cachers take or accidentally take the metal wires? If so how often, I live in a less traveled area, but I'd hate to have to check a lot (because if they don't have the wires they're not going to figure it out)
I have a couple caches that use wires like those. Maybe once a year at the most, someone walks off with them, but it happens very seldom. If you work hard to put out a good cache, I find cachers are usually very careful with my caches.
Oh yes, What a nice cache again. I'm going to make a simular cache in the Netherlands. A small trial with this one, the other marble-cache and then another Bonus, also with a marble.I will send you a message with pictures on GC.com when they are ready. Thank you for sharing! Patrick

Thanks Tim, this one got me when we visited for GW13, glad to see how it works. I will see if I can do something similar in my neck of the woods.
I like your videos a lot. Thats are very great geocaches...
Thank you so mutch

+Robert Heijmen It's fun seeing your idea come to light. Thanks again for sharing your idea.
Totally amazing. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Loving the cat walking around on your desk.
did this one on the launch weekend of the MCBC geotrail. was out in the rain for a good hour before we got a hint. one of my all time favorites!
+Allie Dillard Thank you.
Awesome!!!! Never seen it before anywhere in Australia!
Great video! In efforts of lining the holes back up with ease, I would poke the tools through the wood and into a high and low spot on the pipe to realign it, then tighten it down with the tools still inserted. It shouldnt shift that way.

+Joshua Bass Great idea. Good luck in your build. You'll have to let me know how it goes.
Looks really cool! Great instructions! How does the marble and little door get reset for the next cacher? Maybe the ball stays contained?
Good to see a new video :)
+Ruben Monsterman Thanks, hopefully I'll have and easy to build gadget video coming out next week.
Hi this looks really good we don’t have much like this in the U.K. can I ask if you remember or not the holes how far apart did you do them please ?
No, sorry, I just played around with a rough design until I found a design that worked. They are pretty close together.

Great idea. Keep those ideas coming. Sounds like your on your way to being a great cache creator.

Hi ! SO COOL 😎 are there plans with detentions somewhere I just bought all the supplies 💗 thanks so much for sharing ! You are so creative 😍
Wow! I would never have figured that out! LOL Thanks for sharing!
Carefully about your phone number!! Cool cache tho
that's an awesome gadget cache but it does look complicated to build
I've built a cache like yours... But it's not as big, challenging... May have to ramp up things
Why did you archive it?
Great Stuff you know it wont be a week before its built. will send you the pics
Hmm.. I want to try this, but with a metal ball bearing and magnets.. That looks irritating using the Allen keys to move the ball.. Love the idea though
Another great idea, video! :)
+arlingtontrains7 How's your's coming?

Good news! I've built this cache! :) tho not exactly... Same concept tho!
what type of paint did you use for this project please, look like a patina..
I just use a high quality exterior latex primer and paint, nothing special.
@@gadgetcaches thank's "-)

I wonder how many birds have broken their necks because of this :D
