Add some caches but figure out a way to advertise that some have been placed. Not just on the web site but maybe some fliers or something.

Not sure if this will help but... http://web.archive.org/web/20100104153335/http://purplehell.com

How many times are you actually going back to search? So far the most I have searched (and failed) is three for a particular cache. Still have not found it and owner is not giving hints so at this point I will probably forget it and move on to others. Just curious though about how tenacious some people are (or OCD) about retrying a DNF until they finally locate it. I did have one that took me three attempts to find and I was pretty happy when I did. Persistence paid off for that one. I wonder if there is some record for someone logging the most DNF for a certain cache.

How often should you log a DNF on the same cache? If I try to find a cache and fail I will log a DNF, but if I try again for the same cache and still DNF should I add another DNF log entry or should the first one suffice no matter many times I try again and fail?

After a few bouts of people staring at me while searching for Geocaches and reading about other people experiencing police harassment I was wondering if there was some sort of plastic banner or such (cheap plastic ultra small poncho like thing) that could be worn over whatever clothing you have and would display "GEOCACHER" front and back. It might clue "muggles" in that you aren't some terrorist and the police might learn what that display meant and wouldn't be as prone to be too aggressive. (not really aggressive but you know what I mean.) It might also spur "muggles" to ask what you are doing (rather than be scared) and you could explain Geocaching and maybe make a new convert/friend. Just an idea. Anybody try something like that and what were the results?
