I still like the idea.

Id say I do it because I enjoy it. I like finding things that people (in my area) acutually do come and find. Granted not many, but I must have a few dozen finds. Its nice to do them. Fav:- Trig markers Dated Buildings Pub signs

I use C:geo its free, holds offline content and you can even pop pocket query's onto it. Great program, you can also log on the go, with or without the web. so you can conserve batteyry life, and when you are near a wireless network, then download/upload the logs in full. love it!

Simple really, camera, gps, packed lunch and a list of geocaches and a map of uk trig points. :-)

Delete, just silly, they never saw the coin physically.

I find they don't get clogged that often with people its when they seems to have stayed in a cache for a few months when in fact they have been picked up / pinched. What is wrong with sending a polite 'would you mind moving it on, or could you log it into the cache you dropped it off in?' message?

Its set on the United States National Grid:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_National_Grid Somewhere in settings/coordinates systems look for Deg Decimal or Deg Min Decimal, that'll sort you out.

or as an alternative idea, is there a way to set the back ground colour of the counties that have NO finds to something? -> i tried setting the colour of the first in a range of 'upto' 0, but that didn't work.

I'm after a set of colours in the html format that look good. http://gsak.net/stats/counties/custommap.php?map=ukfull&enc=1&x=CHC5CECRCmCgCSC6&y=FeE9EdEmElFTFuF7&col1=D0F5A981F7812EFE2E00FF0001DF0104B404088A080B610B0B3B0B000000&s=73111100&col2=00ACFF I tried the green scale but the pale ones are a bit faint to see. Anyone got a good set?? maybe yellow->orange->red?? tried the web but can't find on with a set of ten transition colours.

I've found the odd cache that is under say a fallen branch, with loose leaves and soil on top of it in a very neat hole. I'm guessing the square deep hole wasn't there before the cache. -so is that likely to be a violation of the rules? - should I have said something?

ta.

I'm using a GSAK counties maps, but I've noticed a while back that the regions are rather broad (see my profile 1/2 way down) For example the county of Clwyd in Wales is no longer, it is now split into separate counties (Wrexham and Denbighshire) What I was wondering was does a more accurate map exist, or are the stats based on the old regions and they can't be used on a more accurate map? Not a big problem, just a curiosity really

I put a D5 puzzle out recently, i'm happy to look over it.

Bought for £90 a year ago for my parents to get into GCing, they didn't would like £45 for it, its pretty much as new in both condition and performance. Will ship anywhere but buyer covers costs. PM me or message here pretty please!

REALLY tempted. any extra charge for shipping to the uk?

I used to log them wrong for the first couple, however when I noticed that they weren't appearing in my inventory i double checked. Perhaps the first time a cacher finds a cache with a tb listed as in it, perhaps it should go to a webpage asking - did you collect the tb in the cache? - just so they can shown what a tb is, so they don't keep it as a swap, etc... ...doable?

lol, that wouldn't last long in the woods near me in the uk, it'd be nicked!

oh, thank very much. Got a reply and a few more suggested sites to now!

dadgum i thought i was original.

Got thinking about this a while ago, can anyone else think of any occurrences of 'finding sudo-caches' in films. For example:- The Shawshank Redemption Cache Red (Morgan Freemans Character) near the end of the film goes to find a metal tin hidden under a tree in a wall under a lump of volcanic glass as directed to do so by Andy Dufrains hints and locational description. -> aka a Cache! It even had some treasure in it! Anymore come to mind?

There was a FTF in Aberystwyth that was a D5 that took 5 weeks, it was insane though, took me 5months to bruit force with a purpose made program to decode this one:- http://coord.info/GC29JXZ

i find it handy to store coords for mystery caches that i figure out. handy for that!
