I placed this cache some time ago and had forgotten about it until now. You are looking for a Nano, I apologise it isn’t a larger container; I find nano’s cost effective and convenient; they seem to survive the elements better than plastic. The Cemetery trust are aware of the cache and did request we respectfully keep the container on the perimeter, you are welcome to enter the cemetery and look around.
