I hear the compass bearing method can be pretty helpful, but usually, after I get "close enough", I simply put on my "Hider's" hat and start looking for obvious or likely hiding spots. This method usually works for me! (Of course, you're talking about micro-caches, of which I have hunted for very few, if any. So I don't know if the "look for the obvious hiding spot" will work with something as small as a film canister . . .)

circle of confusion? Understandably, the gps unit keeps contradicting itself in pointing almost randomly to the target once you are within its ETE. I
realize that you're pretty much on your own and must simply search the area visually but is there a method to best define the circle of confusion as you approach it?
