US Fish and Wildlife rules against Geocaching
coinprospector replied to Sandrich's topic in General geocaching topics
My other hobby is metal detecting. The county I used to live in declared metal detecting off limits in all parks & schools. The local metal detecting club got together collected the findings from schools and parks and presented them to the county board. The board came back and changed their mind. The stuff that was being found is schools and parks were dangerous, drug needles, nails, thumb tacks, razor blades, oh yea actually found spikes purposely poised at the bottom of the slide. The county's compromise was issueing a permit. You need to read and agree with 10 guidelines that we already do and of course pay money. If you are a member of the club you automatically get the permit. Yes lessons learned from other clubs should be applied. Start with the cache in / trash out and go from there. Maybe the permit states that you cannot sue the city for certain things. Me -

Its been a month now. You guys haven't figured it out? The last post sums it up very well. Reverse Geocaching. LOL. -

I went back and signed the log of the registered cache. I know this is correct one becuase the log was wet. For me the case is closed. But for others.... Who owns the mystery snail punched micro cache. -

The snail punch out was also in the cache. Green log sheet about 2" wide and the signing lines were on one side. The geocache letter was printed on the other side. I thought it was pretty unique way of doing a log sheet. -

is there a guideline? -

I think all of you convinced me why it is possible to find a cache that isn't registered. I told you all I know. Unless you want me to go back and perform an average waypoint and then give you the coordinates. The approver / dis-approver should then tell the owner to remove it. If it isn't removed, is there a guideline to how long we leave it there before it becomes trash? -

I'll just go to the site again and sign the registered cache log. That way I can trade my stuff. Micro-caches dont take advantage of free-trade "NAFTA??" -

Bottom line is I found a micro cache that hasn't and probably won't be approved. -

Yes. Morgan Hill California. There are 21 caches in a 2 mile radius. It is in a small park in a residential area. -

Thanks for all the great answers. As you can tell I'm a newbe. As for the log sheet. Yes there was one. No name that I can remember. As it was a 35mm container nothing else was in there. I was the first to sign the log. There was a tell tale sign. The log sheet had a hole puched out in the shape of a snail. -
The cache is clearly marked with the geocache.com letter. It is not listed on the web site. But it is close 40 feet of another cache. I emailed the owner of the listed cache and asked about the one I found. The reply was it didn't sound like the one he/she planted. Should I log it as a found / lost cache? How do I do that?
