RE: Under ground storage containers
Careful Carl years ago someone found out that Tupperware buried in either Acidic or Alkaline soil for any length of time went brittle, cant remember which or where the heck i read it though.

Best bet is plastic drain pipe and solvent welded end caps, I used to buy a 2 or 4 meter length, prs of end caps, solvent and a drop of silicone and make caching tubes about 3 ft long.

Skean,
If you used a mini-bobcat to bury it what will it take to dig it up?
If this is a remote cache there is a good chance that you don't have anything to dig with, you *might* be fortunate enough to have a small folding camp shovel.
If you’ve buried it deep with a bobcat will you be able to get it back again without another bobcat?
If you're worried about people with metal detectors (finding a cache on your property), bury empty cans and other metal junk all over your lawn as decoys.

RE: Under ground storage containers
Skvez,
I considered that but I used the BobCat because it was done in less than an hour and it was buried deep. I can spend a while digging for these and there is little risk of someone coming across them by accident. It will take a ground scanning radar to find them and thus for all intent and purposes they are invisible.
Things I need quickly are much closer to hand including the digging tool to get to the buried stuff.

RE: Under ground storage containers
My stuff is hidden shallow and in odd places, base of a dry stone wall, hanging by a cord from a ladder rung down a storm drain, under a 3x2 paving stone, inside a false stench pipe down the side of a house, inside a pond filter, under a propane tanks soak away etc, I know its slightly more risky but I think I have offset the risk by having more mini caches than normal
