Well... what a coincidence... When I set my one of 1st caches back in 2005, we set it late at night, and then went out caching 1st thing in the morning. At the same time we were getting an FTF on a cache owned by phoenix, Phoenix was FTFing our cache! Its not just me then Thanks for the reply......Tackety Bits

I had quite an eventful weekend as far as geocaching goes. 2 finds on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. Placed my first Cache on Saturday and got my first FTF on Sunday. Whats the coincidence I hear you ask..... Well.....My FTF was a cache by PYTG called 'The Littlest Oswald' (GC1CB39). And while I was there finding it, PYTG was at the cache I placed on Saturday, Eric's Seat (GC1CB33) and was FTF mine. Don't see that happening again for a while

Thanks for all the replies lads (and lassies) I should have said I bought it second hand so no box unfortunately. Looks like I have been had though Cheers all.....Tackety Bits

I recently bought what I thought was an Etrex H. The new one with the better receiver. I am now beginning to wonder if it was the older version I have been sold. While out today I had the etrex and my old gps12 with me and the etrex kept losing the signal where the old 12 didn't. So....Is there a way to tell the difference between the the old and the new version? Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers....Tackety Bits

Well its maybe not big to most of you but just found cache number 10 today, and it feels good Also my first TB. Picked up at 'polmaddy ferm toon' and dropped off at 'sweet afton'. All in all a good day, regardless of the weather Cheers....Tackety Bits

I was at the first part of a multi cache today (Cambusdoon Capers GC17MNK). I had just found the film cannister when another family appeared, GPS in hand . Has this happened to anyone else? Anyway, it was nice meating you (You know who you are ). Lovely dog too by the way. Cheers.....Tackety Bits

Dearest Mum,sorry I couldn't make it today but I had a real bad upset stomach type thing. My Parents (The Sandiway Searchers) are on holiday so no mothers day here today... athough she did phone me to tell me she had done a cache on some caribbean island or other!!! If I'd gone caching somewhere exotic on Mothers day I'd have ben cruicified!! I know the feeling. I only managed one of the 2 I was going for My log for mothers day!!!! :-) http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LU...30-9fe330af2471 I bet your popular

Just like to say Hi A total newbie to geocaching, hadn't even heard of it a couple of days ago. But!, armed with a cheap gps Garmin GPS 12) and sheets of paper everywhere me and SWMBO headed out for our first search. A succesful day, finding 2 out of 2 caches. Des Res (GC19GZ4) and Neither up nor Doon (GCP3ZX). You'll have gathered I live in Ayrshire Cheers for now.....Tackety Bits
