  1. While you aren't the cache owner, you would be their proxy and be the only person with this unique information. Sounds iffy. The Cache Owner Will Have To Make A Account On The Site Why Would I Want To? It seems to me that the OP has developed a service, which a CO can use (presumably, at no cost) that provides an online transformation of some number to a set of coordinates. For someone that wants to create a cache like this, and either doesn't have the programming skills to develop such a service or the time to do so, it could be useful. Although it took awhile for the OP to explain what the site would actually do at least he/she took the time to ask us whether it was a good idea, whether anyone would be interested in using it, and seems open to suggestions on how the idea can be improved. That said, anyone (and that includes the OP) that creates a cache which requires one to go to a web site after going out in the field to find a waypoint should state in the cache listing that finding the final *may* require two trips out in the field, once to obtain the number key needed to get the final coordinates, and again to go out and find the final cache. Since most of the caching that I have done in the past year or so has been while traveling it would mean that I, personally, would probably not look for that cache unless I could access that site from a mobile web browser. If I were to offer one suggestion it would be to make the site mobile friendly. Geocaching is a mobile game. If you want to incorporate the use of the web into the act of seeking geocaches, it should be designed for mobile devices. I said if I were to offer one suggestion...I"m offering another. There has been a recent thread about the use of QR codes in geocaching. It would seem to me that rather than (or in addition to) a number that was entered into the site to retrieve a set of coordinates, you could provide a QR code generator for a CO that registers a cache, and have the contents of that QR code be a set of coordinates, it would provide an alternative, mobile friendly mechanism for obtain coordinates while out in the field.

  7. Here is what it is going to do: you go to the coordinates given and get a number then you put it in the generator and it gives you the cordnates to the cache

  16. I don't know what kind of paint the government uses, but if you just scuff the paint just enough to add a few extra coats while leaving the original paint on them, ammo cans don't rust. There are a lot of hide-a-key caches out there. They rust a lot faster than an ammo boxes. You might consider using the waterproof match containers from Walmart. You can replace the gasket with an o-ring and epoxy a magnet to the side and they'll last forever. Do You Think They Can Last A Year? i am going to hide a vacation cache at PCB Florida And i go there every year will they last a year?/
