I just recently started doing some field recordings again, after spending a long time in pure synthesis land. I needed a good pair of mics for doing stereo recordings, so I grabbed a couple of good quality Panasonic electret capsules and soldered them to a length of cable from a pair of broken headphones. To protect the wiring (and make them look a little more stealthy) I mounted the capsules inside 1″ pieces of a ballpoint pen barrel. A little hot glue and some tape, and I had some really good sounding stereo mics for doing field recording on the sly with my MiniDisc.
