I'm putting together my very first Geocache. And I've scoped out a small handful already and browsed the site to see what other people have put into theirs. So far, mine is enclosed in an ammo box which is about 1/2 the thickness of a standard 55 cal. ammo box.
Here are the contents so far; I would appreciate some feedback concerning the contents of the cache and/or some ideas for difficult vs. easy placement. Note that this cache, I belive, will start out with some pretty high-end items that so far to my knowledge aren't usually found in other caches.
* Notebook (every cache has this)
* 2 Pencils
* 128 MB digital camera memory card (dented, but still works)
* VHS copy of the X-Files Movie
* A 1" glass marble
* An old metal gear
* A Bob The Builder "Scoop" Toy
* A Ghostbusters II Pin
* A small (3" x 5") American Flag
You may think that I'm going overboard, of course, and there's a good chance that I am. But I just want my cache to be a huge reward to whomever finds it. But I need some advice here; do I make it a difficult find or an easy one? Obviously, if it is too easy, someone is likely to plunder it, while if it's too hard to find, nobody will ever visit it and therefore, I won't come back as often to add more goodies.
Please let me know what you think. I'm still looking for the ideal place to put it, and I'm also considering making it a members only cache based solely on the cost of the items and the amount of time I've put into making it.
