Geocache Description:

Tincache #10 – ArachTINphobia takes you to a place some people make light of while searching for geocaches. Since this is the tenth tincache in the series, I thought I should try to make it a bit special, even though it may be in a common spot. You’ll know the host when you see it, it truly stands out. Gold Locket for the FTF. Please BYOP.

ArachTINphobia - (e raek TIN feub ia), noun. An abnormal fear of spiders and tincaches in the same location.

Tins have intrigued me since I was a boy. I've collected them over the years and since starting geocaching, have found a renewed interest in them from some of the clever tin hides I've found. There's nothing like sticking your hand into a dark, spider-webbery hidden space and feeling that familiar shape...

So I thought I might continue this little series of tin caches, each in a different kind of tin, and hopefully hidden in/on an interesting thing, manner or place. The first portion of the series (tincache #01 - tincache #05) involved five different caches with different types of tins. Anyone who is interested in a little optional challenge, if you find the first five tincaches, keep track of the brand name on the tin and email me what the first five tins were. I'll send you a free tincache (or you could pick it up where I work) as long as my supplies last, and if you want one. From here on out, when I find an interesting spot to place a tin, I'll continue this series along. Most are fairly easy to find and the title is often (but not always) a pretty good hint as to the general area in which they are hidden. Hope you enjoy the tincaches. And if you’ve read this far, here’s a hint: All tincaches are magnetic.
