micro boxes

I am interested in experiences from both placers and finders of
boxes in very small containers (e.g. film canisters).
Thx
Randy
PS - as to the compass question, I view it as just one on a palette
of possible tools; I personally don't feel any one particular tool
or approach (or lack thereof) to clues adds or subtracts in and of
itself ... and enjoy looking at the whole clue, and in particular
how it works with the terrain.
PPS - as an aside, my favorite clues are the sorts where the concept
or implementation behind them could not work in a location or path
other than the one they are in ...

Hello, Randy
I have been using the 35mm canisters in a few of my micoboxes, but I
think they really limit your contents.
You might warn fellow 'boxers to bring along a pen,and ink pad in your
clues.
It also limits the size of your stamp.
An answer I had to this was cut out the bottoms of both canisters and
then tape them together.
You end up with a bottom to bottom double sized container. !
Better yet I have went to pharmacies and asked if they could spare a
pill vile (or two ).They come in various sizes, but I get the
5" long X 2" diameter ones . Almost all the pharmacist gave me a vile
with no problem. !
I also think they have a pretty good water tight seal. ( Still in the
experimental stage on that issue. )
If you are seeking a microbox be sure to have a small sig stamp !!!
well , I hope this helps !

Hi randy, we just hid several micro boxes on our trip to SD ...(I haven't
sent the clues in yet). Previously we have hidden about 5 or 6 micros, At
first we put only a stamp in the canisters but then added a "scroll" so
people could stamp in. It is easier to hide a micro in a well traveled area.
