  1. We also cache for the outdoor family experience. Additionally, since we travel as much as we can during the Summers, we find caching is an excellent way to locate out of the way things we otherwise would not find. This past summer, we traveled from Pennsylvania to Yellowstone stopping along the way in numerous towns. One of the best caches ever was one someone had hid at an old gold mine. The place had been abanded forever, but seeing the old open mines, the steam boiler, and and grinding equipment was a history lesson my kids will never forget. Gold Mine cache We really enjoy the caches at natural points of interest so after finding the cache...take the time to enjoy the surroundings on the way out
  2. My apologies if the link was considered spam. I was only trying to save email.
  3. You ordered 10, but you'll get extras. Thank you They'll ship in tomorrows mail
  4. Thanks. I'm a longtime Bullseye league shooter but the 45acp didn't make a nice souvenier so we went with these Incidently, the reason for the card inside, is to explain what they are, that they are souveniers and safe. The back of the card give more info as well, and the email address if anyone has questions or wants to continue to spread them. A couple folks recently asked for more photos so here a couple more.
  5. Silver Bullets What the heck is that? Let me give a little background My family enjoys the sport of Geocaching and we wanted to come up with a unique item which we could leave in caches that would be different than the usually stuffed animals and McDonald happy meal toys. We came up with the Silver Bullet idea, as an item that we would make ourselves and leave in Caches for others. Although originally the idea was for us to leave the items ourselves, folks began pm'ing us inquiring about purchasing them so we started selling them to anyone who asked. As the project continued, we now enjoy others hiding Silver Bullets and knowing folks throughout the world are finding and keeping them. It's interesting reading a log and seeing someone comment about taking the Silver Bullet. After we started selling these direct, I decided to start selling on ebay too as well to spread the Geocaching Bullets out beyond the original area I hide them in. You can find the items on ebay....Search for Geocaching Silver Bullet but wanted to put them on here as well as a way to spread the word about them and get feedback if anyone finds any. We sell the items very reasonably as it's not for income but rather to meet my families goal of having them placed in Caches throughout the world. With direct sales I can offer lower prices and shipping costs since I’m not paying Ebay fees which is another reason I'm posting here. If you're looking for a unique item to place in caches, consider these. Geocaching Silver Bullets are hand made replicas of actual bullets. My family works together assembling each one, using real bullet cases that are highly polished and actual lead bullets. Of course, the bullets are assembled without a powder charge or primer which creates a completely safe souvenir. Each Silver Bullet comes individually packaged and is ready for placing into a cache. The completed item is a nice, heavy, and safe Geocaching treasure which the finder will be sure to keep. Below are my ebay pictures so you can see what they look like, but feel free to email me directly for better photos and the direct pricing. If you do email and buy direct, let me know you're a forum member and I'll include an extra free one for the time being just for being a forum member Email me to get a price sheet. Basically, depending on quantity they range from 65 cents to $ 1.00 each so they make very inexpensive swag. [e-mail address removed by moderator] for price sheet
  6. First time poster here too. We're a family of 5 that enjoys visiting new locations in our RV. Since we're not familiar with areas we visit, we've found Geocaching is a neat way of finding locations of interest in an area that otherwise we'd know nothing about. Thanks to folks placing caches we've discovered abandond gold mines, coke ovens, and lost planes that crashed during WWII. Since we travel a lot, my kids always print out the geocache lists for areas we will be visiting over a weekend then we head off to hunt for them. Often times we don't log our finds online as we don't have internet access when we're camping, but we do sign the log books.
  7. I cache as an entire family and got so tired of the stuffed animals that the youngest kid always wanted to take, and the McDonalds toys stuff that I decided I wanted to come up with an item that we could leave that would be interesting and unique. I wanted to come up with an item that cost under a buck, but also wasn't junky so that someone would choose my item from the cache. For the last 6 months we've been leaving Geocaching Silver Bullets and have really enjoyed reading the messages we've been getting from others who get them. Originally, our idea was to have an item that we would leave ourselves, however after getting emails and PM's from folks who find them and want them, we've been shipping them to other Geocachers all over the US both through Ebay and from direct sales. It's been a great family project knowing the items are potentially being placed in caches around the world. I really like the idea of leaving something unique and that you'd think others will hold as a valued rembrence of the cache. I might post pictures of the items in the Garage sale section rather than clutter this thread with the bullet so if anyone finds one you'll recongize it.
