Some folks glue a piece of steel to the outside so its easier to find the cache again with a metal detector if you live in an area where its difficult to exactly relocate the cache. I used to buy 4 meter lengths fro Jewsons or B & q plus end caps and solvent weld, some folks prefer the screw fit end sealed with O rings.

I believe in recent times quite a few Brit preppers now prefer to bury wide mouthed blue barrels with screw top or clamp on lids.

Thanks. All good pointers.
