The little containers that screw closed are contact lense holders cut apart.
I got them at wal-mart and glued the magnet in them. I purchased the
magnets at wal-mart also. They are located in the arts-craft-sewing
section. Get the extra strength magnets, they hold better. The logs inside
I made using a quarter traced and cut out. They fit perfect and all I ask
for most of the time is a good log and initials. I love reading the logs of
the different experiences other geo cachers have. Thanks for taking the
time to look for my hides. Hurry back elafern/Edith
