Geocache Description:

Tincache #17 – That's RevolTIN! takes me back. When I first started geocaching, I remember seeing a certain term used in many cache titles and thought, gee, that's kinda revolting. Now I understand. You're looking for a small tin, with a gold cross inside for the FTF. BYOP and please be wary of mugglers.

Tins have intrigued me since I was a boy. I've collected them over the years and since starting geocaching, have found a renewed interest in them from some of the clever tin hides I've found. There's nothing like sticking your hand into a dark, spider-webbery hidden space and feeling that familiar shape...

So I thought I might continue this little series of tin caches, each in a different kind of tin, and hopefully hidden in/on an interesting thing, manner or place. The first portion of the series (tincache #01 - tincache #05) involved five different caches with different types of tins. Anyone who is interested in a little optional challenge, if you find the first five tincaches, keep track of the brand name on the tin and email me what the first five tins were. I'll send you a free tincache (or you could pick it up where I work) as long as my supplies last, and if you want one. From here on out, when I find an interesting spot to place a tin, I'll continue this series along. Most are fairly easy to find and the title is often (but not always) a pretty good hint as to the general area in which they are hidden. Hope you enjoy the tincaches.

And if you’re up for a real challenge, since I’m now nearing twenty in the tincache series, why not keep track of all the tins you find? There’s going to be a special prize for those who can name all twenty tincaches. The prize will be revealed when tincache #20 is published.
