You want to spread tthe load in the caches. I try and put several days worth of supplies in one. Food for two days, water for two days, toilet paper, a knife some fuel for the stove, maybe even a stove or a spade or some tools.
You don't want to have to dig up all your caches at once.
A lot depends on cache container, you bury a barrel say 2 foot you have to dig a hole 44 inch deep to meet that target quite a lot of effort, a tube type cache or what Scythe is using that would be an easy task.
My metal detector range is about 7/9 inch.
