Above Ground is Better
Above ground caches with good drainage are better than trying to waterproof a cache to store items below ground. Military steel ammunition .50 cal. and larger cans with plastic bag liners and plastic 5-gallon plastic buckets work well, except that common garden variety plastic buckets are not entirely bear or rodentproof.
