Sometimes the cache container itself is really cool, especially if it is something besides the usual tupperware or ammo box. The coolest one I've ever seen was a Japanese cache called "Waterfall of Nunobiki."
The main cache container there was a handmade wooden shrine that included a bamboo (or small reed) roof and wooden doors with a sliding bolt lock. It was securely fastened to the back side of a tree outside a mountainside lookout railing. The front side of the tree had a stray guardian cat living under a tied down umbrella with a patch of carpeting as a floor.

One of the coolest caches containers I have ever found was one called "Birdwatchers Delight". The cache is hidden in a fake bird in a bird's nest. You have to use a rope and pulley system to get the cache down. The only reason I found it the first time was someone was there before me and I saw him get it.
There is a cache called 'the postman won't deliver here'
It's a mailbox all burried but the opening that is hidden. Also I think that there is one near me that is a fake bird in a birdhouse.

I found one that was a fake access panel on the side of a parking lot light post. It was held on magnetically and had only a flatten piece of paper inside.
Just foud a really pretty cache it was like an old cookie tin with a pattern on it

Just found part of a series of caches yesterday. The series is called 'Trail Watcher' One would think that meant that you had to watch the trail. However, the cache owner had cut out the stomachs of cheap plastic dinosaurs and fit film canisters within...so the containers ended up being the actual 'watchers'!
In Texas there was a cache I never got around to finding. I saw it, but I never found it. It was a wood-constructed box in someone's front yard at the end of their driveway...and you could actually see it in the superzoom on google maps!
The coolest cache I found was a magnetised screw on a sign post near a dog park. It was hollowed out and there was a piece of paper in it.

Today I hit a Park & Grab outside an Indiana IHOP. The container was hidden under the bolt cover for a lamp post and the container itself looked like a Duracell battery that unscrewed at the bottom. Pretty nifty.
