Hi Derek, thank you so much for taking the time to share all these cool ideas for geocaching. I have placed a few gadget caches inspired by VWTim, now I will try to build a few of your ideas. Keep up the great work!!!
When you started putting this together, yeah, I had that DOH! moment. I used one of these boxes in a gospel magic routine but never thought about using it for a geocache!! Job well done and thanks for sharing!
Very cool looking! I love the video thumbnail. Wow! Lol. I wonder how well this will work with the single LEDs that I already have. I am also going to pick up some of the 4 and 8 pack AA battery holders that I saw on Gadget Talk. I imagine those would work well to internally power the cache. Can you recommend a heat gun to use with the Solder Seal Wire Connectors? Thanks for another great video.
Thank you yeah that is a fun thumbnail lol. Yeah those do well depending on the power requirements. The heat gun I have I for on Amazon and I think it was less than $30 US.
What happens if someone just shines a flashlight at the mirror, rather than finding the reed switch to turn on the light? Can they read the combo that way?
Have you ever found a cache like this? Do you think you could make one of these?
I found one of these a few years ago near Ogden, Utah. Loved it!!!
Very COOL!! We are beginners and have only seen a handful of unique caches. I can't wait to find more :D

Your Welcome. That is cool some of my first ones where based on his as well. Good luck please share which ones you do your own spin on.
@@BehindtheCache will do.

I hope so.

Yeah I have done those Magic Routines too a long time ago for Children’s ministries. I will have to go look at that stuff again too.
Wow, such an inspiring idea. Got to love a wow factor. Thankyou so much, I'd love to be try my hand to do something like this.
Thank you. Yeah it is a fun idea. I am wanting to make more of these in some different ways.
Wow factor, indeed! That's a pretty cool idea for a cache.
I thought so too
Cool concept for sure, especially as you say... for a night cache!
The effect is cool in daylight but really cool in the dark.
Awesome! I found the original one in CO a few months ago and was really impressed by the design
That is cool. I hope I will be able to see that one in person someday.
Pretty awesome 😎
Thank you
Nice. I realized what you were doing about halfway through, hehe
Doesn’t hurt that I told you what I was making either. Lol
neat idea :)
I thought it was really cool. Happy that it is actually really easy to make.

This is soo cool! Love the idea and I'm glad I got to know Rick in the last video I watched. Do you ship to Austria? ;-)
Yes I can but you have to pay shipping.
@@BehindtheCache I got to find one cache variant that I am able to maintain with my two left hands first. :-)
Nice cache !!!
On what show on Netflix did you see that ?? :)
Thanks it was the “The Big Flower Fight”. I think it was like episode 4 they were make large mobiles
What happens if someone just shines a flashlight at the mirror, rather than finding the reed switch to turn on the light? Can they read the combo that way?
A little but it is hard to read. That is why I used silver market to write the numbers.
@@BehindtheCache My silver paint pen was too shiny, I think. I'll get a silver sharpie. Thanks for the quick reply. We have one almost completed!
Sweet good luck with it. Are you going to make it a night cache?
No, it will placed in a state park as park of their geocaching challenge.
