Nomex: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Another blinking micro?!?!

Joani and I have been seeing these tiny magnetic caches popping up around the bay area. I think the first one we found was on a sculpture in San Mateo county. We asked around to see if anyone knew where these came from and the only answer was "you can get them off of e-bay". Finally, Kusanagi figured out what they were and gave me a couple to hide. They are marketed as LED jewelry, and use the magnets to attach themselves to clothes, ears, etc. Joani did her camo job on them and added a tiny log sheet. Bring your own pen! Here is a sample before and after picture:

Note: This is just a sample picture. The actual cache may look different.

One nice side benefit is the batteries they come with. They fit my Carabiner flashlight (it was going to cost me $12 to buy the replacement batteries at Radio Shack. Yikes!). I'm sure they fit other things powered by button cells.
