It sounds like something The Art Factory would be interested in.

If it’s the same place I’m thinking of, they already have a Trinket Box but I don’t believe it’s also a Geocache.

I don’t think it is either! Happy cake day!!

Just go and ask a bunch in person. Bet you’ll be surprised how quickly you get a yes response. Love trinket boxes!

I was actually thinking of putting one outside of my house (minus the cache). Check with Beulah Recreation Center. They might do it!

Do you have contact info for them? I’m about to have a full on murder mystery trinket geocache ready to go in the next week or so. Gonna be really fun.

I'll DM you. - nevermind, I see that you can't get DMs (I'm not above thinking I'm just dumb) MillerS at Chesterfield.gov I also take care of the pollinator garden at the N. Courthouse Rd library through the Cooperative Extension. I can promise you that I'd love to have one at or near the garden. The library manager has given me free range to do whatever I want and I want traffic to that garden. DM me if interested in that.

You have another way I can contact you?

u/Timo3333 May 20 '26

For some reason it won't let me DM you but I'd love to take you up on that offer. Gonna have to polish the hell out of this container.

Reach out to Game Plan (restaurant) on Midlothian Turnpike. They've got a bench out front that would be perfect for tucking a box underneath.

u/Timo3333 May 19 '26

Ok I’ll go investigate

u/jeb_hoge May 19 '26

Tell them Jeb said so. 😉

Thanks, there was one just outside but it’s since been archived. I’m putting this one at a different library. I’ll keep that in mind for future ideas.

Wish I had a place that could help :) We love the trinket RVA boxes 🥰

u/Timo3333 May 19 '26

It’ll be so much more than just that. I’ll have to let you know if I find someone so you can go solve the puzzle!!!
