Ok, So I have done this about 2 weeks. My find rate is about 20%
I thinking...I must be really lucky and guessing all the problematic cache sites or I don't have the "common sense" that everyone is referring to. Others have said When your close, put away the unit and start to look. So I have done that and it has yielded very little. If I am in the woods, what percentage of the time is it going to be up high in a tree? Will I ever have to push brush away or on hands and knees crawl through a sticker bush?
Please tell me the common locations to look when in the woods, near a tree, in a field, and road corners.
Do the more expensive units get you closer to the exact coordinates? Is within 8 feet normal. I have been right on top of the site according to my unit and it is nowhere.
Now on to other item. Is there a way to contact owner of cache to ask for a hint. Or let them know the site has been washed away by a river? or it is all under construction now. These are things I run into and am frustrated as to why I cant find the cache. IS it considered reasonable to ask for a tip from owner?
Thanks
