Geocaches come in all shapes and sizes. The popular designations for cache sizes are:
Cache Sizes (From Geocaching.com)
- Nano (Pencil Eraser size or smaller – less than approximately .01 litres (10 millilitres) -- typically containing only a small scroll of paper as a logbook)
- Micro (35 mm film canister or smaller – less than approximately 3 ounces or .1 litres -- typically containing only a logbook)
- Small (Sandwich-sized Tupperware-style container or similar -- less than approximately 1 quart or litre -- holds trade items as well as a logbook)
- Regular (Tupperware-style container or ammo can)
- Large (5 gallon/20 litre bucket or larger)
