What I noticed is that the cache that the finder logged a find on just previous to this one was the only other recent cache that the finder posted 'wet log' on. This cache was also reported by others to be soaked. Given this info, I think that it's most likely that the 'wet log' log to the OP's cache was made in error. Perhaps he meant to alert the owner to the damaged container issue, but accidently sent the same post as teh previous one.
No one will know what really happened if the OP does not ask the question.
I searched through about a half dozen "wet logs" of his and cross referenced with recently cache logs that do not mention any maintanance needed. The biggest red flag is how he wet logged a missing cache, that I know for a fact is missing and have reported to be archived after speaking with the cache owner. I do honestly think he has me mixed up with a cache that is located rather near the dadgum seen in the photo. I found that cache over the summer and it was damp then.

I am a bit of a cheater on this one lol......I carry baggies, old pill bottles and 35 ml canisters, heavy duty velco, small magnets, camo tape, black duct tape, zip ties, scissors, various sized replacement logs, pens/markers, duco cement or goop glue, memo books for bigger cache logs, .....etc. There is an awesome mentor, Andy "Head Hard Hat" Smith that has several Geocaching tutorials on his site: GeoSnippets.com. he teaches you the basics on how to build a E.G.R.K...... I do not mind fixing/replacing a cache especially if its a highly travelled cache but I do contact the owner to let him know so he can perhaps decide on a different type of container all together. Hope this helped:)....oh and Prevlar waterproof paper for logs is great!

Last week at work I received a "found it" log through my email notifications - although I was not happy to see the 2 dreaded words "LOG WET". Being my only true hidden cache ( I have 1 adopted one also ) I felt impelled to be the idiot who rushes out in the dark, in the rain to retreive my cache to check the problem. I got it in the car to realize that someone had apparently jammed a small hole into the container with the pen point - some of the swag was barely damp but it was in decent shape for sitting most the winter. What stoked me was the BONE DRY log! It was still double bagged and inserted into its own water tight canister safe and sound.
So my question is, why do people get involved with the sport just to be unsportsman like? I thought it was about the thrill of the hunt not the numbers!
I also emailed other cachers who had recently found my cache to enlighten me whether anything was wrong with cache and or contents and everyone of them said the log was completely dry.
I searched the individuals profile and saw more than just my cache that he simply stated "log wet", one cache of which I know has been missing for sometime.
So all i in all I do want to delete his log but do not want to cause conflict.
What to do what to do?

Ok So first off I would like to thank you for team member IBcrashen for the wonderful coins (and replacement coin)!
If you had read former posts of mine, you know that I committed the ultimate geo-sin of losing a geocoin. IB saved me by sending me the same coin I had lost - only of course with different tracking code.
The coin has not been activated so far but what I wanted to do was literally replace the coin I lost and zero out the old lost coin. I had contacted the owner of the lost one but have yet gotten a response so Im at tough spot on what to do.
I understand that the new coin can not adopt the old coins tracks, and I feel awful for that, but is it possible to link the two coins together since this is a replacement?
-
No, but I have one that I will send you. e-mail me with your info and I will get it on its way.
Total awesomeness! Thank you so much! I was seriously freaking over this one! I owe you!
Email on its way!

In search for an unregistered micro gps coin.
Its a gold gps charm - purple with bright green screen.
Photo can be seen@ http://www.geocoinstore.com/index.php?main...ex&cPath=11
On the bottom row, second charm.
Anyone willing to sell one, please let me know.
Thanx guys!

Just so you know, you don't want to show the tracking number in photos or post it in a log.
I might think about contacting your local club and see if anyone wants to do another search for it. Maybe even with a metal detector.
We are going back out today to research, seeing it was getting dark at the time. I am taking several searchers with me so wish us luck!

Which geocoin is it? Perhaps someone here can help you find it, even if it is not for sale anymore.
It is a micro gps...I did find the company who sold them and even attempted to ebay it w/o luck....bummer

I am so humiliated about this for I am pretty new to the sport. BUT, anyhow, my dilemma.... The kids and I searched out a cache with both a travel bug and a micro geocoin. We were very excited to find both but on the trek back to the van, I accidentally dropped the geocoin from its packaging. I thought it was a sealed but apparently not. I feel awful and we did try to trace our steps but no luck. I searched out the type of coin but they are not being made anymore. How would I go about replacing this geocoin? Can I order one with the same code or will this one have to be disabled? Please email me if possible...LingHoney@neo.rr.com
Thanx...and sorry

For the record, and maybe I should have not overlooked mentioning this point, but the paper log was NOT signed. I did assume the title was enough explaination. My apologies.
