Yes. I guess as an attribute. Basically when I go to create a geocache or search on the map for one, I can select "Gadget" as a type in the filters.

Has it ever been discussed about adding the selection of "gadget" as a type of cache to hide or search for? The caches built by WVTim and me would be an example. I would love to see this so I and many others can specifically search those types of caches rather than just ammo cans or lock-n-locks or bison tubes ?
Much appreciation. Spokexx

That's happened to me a couple of times. I will try to find something nearby that will mark a mark of some sort or I will post a Write Note and come back at a later date and sign with a pen/pencil and then log a Found It. Taking a photo to me sounds like an easy out excuse for not carrying a writing implement unless, the log is unsignable i.e. wet, damaged, missing.
Yes!! Ive come across a few unsignable logs. So here's a scenario I came across. I found the first stage of a multi cache the other day. It had a logbook and coords to the next stage. I signed the book and added the log into the app but then I went home, too cold. I figure ill get the rest of it another time. Now, when I eventually find the final stage, I'm sure there will be a logbook to sign, but will there be something else to log in the app or on this site? I guess it's up to the cache owner? That looks like a twin 2 stroke Suzuki you have there.

I admit to finding a couple caches in the beginning without signing the log. I'll have to remember which ones they were. I didnt have a pen with me. In the future if i find a cache and I dont have a pen, is it OK etiquette to take a photo of the cache container or paper log in my hand and attach it to the log in the app?
Much appreciation, folks. This is all good conversation.

Still do. In my area it's still about 50/50, and we see mostly phone users only when we get closer to cities.
Since you're a pm you can do pqs or lists and go offline too. There's still areas north in your own state that have little or iffy service.
You didn't say (or I missed it) what app/phone you're using, but if you haven't yet, it'd be good to learn how.
One park up from me only has service in its parking lot. I load everything I plan to do in a day to a GPSr. No service needed. ..
Ive brought along my Garmin Zumo 660 gps on recent hunts. Even though it's primarily a motorcycle gps, I can use it in pedestrian mode. Is it more accurate?? It seems, but it doesnt have a compass built into it.

Keep in mind that not everyone plays the game with Groundspeak's Geocaching app. Some use other apps. Some use handheld GPS devices. Some use map and compass, with no GPS-enabled technology at all.
Signatures work for any of those approaches. Your hypothetical "digital verification", not so much.
In the early days, Groundspeak experimented with allowing keyword caches. Those haven't been allowed for many years. And "digital verification" is ultimately just another form of keyword cache.
Ya know when I saw some of the caches placed around me have been there since early 2000's, I thought "How? The iPhone and apps have only been around since 2007??" And then I realized that back then people were using handhelds and this website. They must have written them down on paper and then headed out. Geez, i'ts SO convenient now. Open the app, zoom out and see what caches are around you. Even the digital compass built into the app is easy.
-
OK, good. I don't like cheaters or posers. However, has the idea of digital verification of successful cache finding ever been discussed for the app?

OK. Im learning people. Im learning. So if I find that some users haven't signed the paper log but DID click "found it" on the app, I can delete those??

I'm new to the Geocaching app and site but I've managed to bag 30+ caches in my first month of Premium membership. I love the hunt and find, but I'm curious, does it boil down to being honest if you've actually found the cache or not? Could one just merely sit at their phone for an hour and mark as many caches 'found" if they felt like it? When I go to place my own caches, I for sure want people to log "Found it" only if they actually have. Is it possible to create a cache where the hunter/cacher must take a photo of a QR code or enter a numerical code(posted at the cache) for the cache to be officially found?
Much appreciation, SpokeXX

Howdy people. I'm finally a geocacher member and I'm hooked. I've known about it for years and even played a similar game in the ADV motorcycle community called Tag O Rama where you take a foto of your bike next to landmark. The next first rider to make it there and snap a foto of THEIR bike gets to choose/shoot the next location and so on. I've already found 32 caches and I'm super stoked to get placing my own. One Eyed Willy would approve

On the app, how do i find another user?
in How do I...?

The app can be very frustrating with finding things that should be easy and obvious to see.
