Definitely check the yellow pages for makers of rubber stamps. Here in Eugene, OR we're lucky enough to have a local fellow - Craftsman Rubber Stamps - to take our artwork to. Sure he sends it out too and it's more than buying a stamp off the shelf but it's pretty cool when your artwork comes back as a rubber stamp. He also has the option of different handles on the stamps. You can go for the traditional low-profile stamp or one of those old-fashioned handles that can hang in the revolving stands. Drill a hole through it, put a chain on it and it can be attached to the cache. Hopefully stopping cachers from thinking it's a trade item! Your stamp probably shouldn't be very large or it won't fit in the small notebooks that I've found in caches. Waterproof ink would also be advisable since it's not always clear skies when we cache! quote:Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. - Will Rogers (1879-1935)

We too were underfunded and found our very first cache GPS-less. It definitely depends on the difficulty of the cache and if you're familiar with the area at all. You have a good chance of finding the "Oregon History Lesson 4" (aka I Hate I-5) without a GPS. quote:Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. - Will Rogers (1879-1935)

Count me in for Oregon!! Perhaps if people were interested in collecting the patches there would be a way in the forums to accomplish that? I know personally my chances of geocaching in any other country would be 'pretty slim to none'... but I would LOVE to be able to acquire patches from other countries.
