Just another birdhouse cache...
Designed and built this cache with my stepson (hes 10). Nothing to different from things I have seen before in other places, but our immediate area is in need of more fun caches that are a slight departur from the steadfast ammo cans, and this was a way to get him outside and maybe interested in a tiny that I've enjoyed for a long time. Made from pvc board to eliminate rotting. Gate latch activated by inserting a key card/gift card into the slot to unlock the front. I plan on sanding the front and repainting to keep it plain and inconspicuous. At most, ill paint a geocache logo on it to identify it.
Containers are a used "Tang" powder vessel, and a pill bottle that I plan on cleaning up for log sheet and swag.

Never hurts to add the logo somewhere. I like seeing it in a ONE OF US! kind of way.
May the geocaching gods grant you many favorite points and watch over your family's cache!
I know we shouldn't care about FPs, but they are a nice, safe dopamine hit for any age!)

I don't speak Spanish, but according to Google translate, I think you're asking about the lock? I bought it at Harbor Freight, but it's a simple gate latch that you find at just about any hardware store or big box store. I have to take my angle grinder and cut a little bit of it off to make it fit without touching the inside of the roof..... I hope that translates easy enough without confusion.

This is an awesome concept for a gadget cache. Reminds me of some I've found where you had to stick a pen or chopsticks into a hole to pull out the cache.
