indeed- i must of left that one out. the log is right up there with them, if not above them. i have yet to find a geo coin or bug.

Yeah, sure the excitement of GeoCaching is finding the cache itself, but when you open it up and find really cool items to cache out, it just makes the experience that much better. Whatever happened to the cool items? like.. -Arrowheads -Foreign or Collectible coins -Those nifty LED key-chain lights -mineral rocks (crystals/fools gold/etc) -glow sticks -free unexpired coupons, or drink tokens -Geo-pins -carribiners but instead, of come across some real junk- -miss matched AA batteries that are torn up/smashed and DEAD. -hair bands -toys you get out of the claw machine that bore even the 2 year old the item was designed for. -cellphone batteries??? -paperclips & staples??? -more lame toys- mostly pink -Pokemon cards Sure this is a sport for all ages, but some of these things just disappoint me when i come across them. to try and set an example, and break the cycle for my area, lately Ive been leaving cool items rather than taking any items that i find could help the cache out, and recently making my own cache with real treasures in them. But of course, this leaves honesty as a policy for the cachers to not take more than one item, and leave something of equal or greater value In my thought, if one person could help out a cache, one of theirs, or one close by and place maybe a couple more interesting items in it, it could really help the condition and fun in finding a hidden cache. OPERATION NO MORE KIDDY CACHES IN FULL EFFECT! -
