  1. The money I've found wasn't in the caches it was dropped by people along streets and while I'm walking to GZ of the cache I happen to find it laying on the ground. $10 so far in bills and a few coins. But it did pay for my app download to my phone. Caching makes you pay to whats around you.
  2. I've been at it a month today. It's been fun and interesting, seeing new areas checking out places to go but how much $ have you found while geocaching? I found $5 while walking down a cache a few weeks ago, I didn't even find the cache the first time so the $ made it worthwhile. Then yesterday in a lil more urban area near a bus stop I'm walking around the shelter to get to the cache and I wonder a lil to far and see all these bent bus cards (that I picked up and threw in the trash at work). I see another $5 dollar bill. Not bad $10 in under month, it paid for the Geocache.com app. Now I'm working on the upgrade. So how much have the cachers that have been at it longer found? If this isn't the right area to be posting this please move it to the appropriate forum.
  3. New meat here. Found geocaching watching Youtube videos where a get found a cache in the middle of the woods in the Netherlands. I googled it, did a lil reading and figured it seems like something my wife and I could do together while traveling or riding bikes. Got started on 3/12 while we took a ride to the Jersey shore and have been at it since. We have 44 finds at this point and had 3 that were a little more difficult the ones we had found. We kept at it and were able to put smilies up on them.
  4. Sounds like some trail cameras need to be put out to try to ID the people doing this. So disgusting.
  5. What if there is no size listed? How do I have an idea of what I'm supposed to be looking for?
  6. TEST test test. How long before I will see my posts? Never mind, I guess it hit the number.
  7. I'm a newbie at this too but I thought the same thing about the small plastic bags used to keep the logs dry. As a firefighter EMT I've seen way to many of these baggies and they aren't for Geocaches. I see this as a much better use. LOL
  8. Some very good information and a great reminder that they all aren't park and grabs. Since I've just started and have had some luck at locating the caches I've went looking for the ones I can't find and have gone back for a few times it can get frustrating but I remind myself that I'm doing this for fun. My first nano find took a few ride by's and 2 good searches until I was able to get the light to go on in my head and jam my finger past a bolt to pull it down. I had no idea that caches came that small. LOL I have one that has me baffled right now, I've made 2 stops to look and have started doing some research on the cache. It'll come.
  9. I just started this new addiction and have found a few caches that have been wet and or damp. I wrote that in the found it response and hopefully the cache owner will look to replace the container and log to make them waterproof again.
