We have a blast finding any of them. Most pathetic thing IMO is business cards. I take them all and keep them to remind me who NOT to deal with.
I try to leave items for children that is not crap. I live in area with lots of streams, lakes and creeks full of trout. Most young children go crazy over hooks, sinkers, spinner baits and such. We get the small key chain lights that cost .99-$1.99. When I have them I leave Kennedy half dollars and hope the adults will leave them for the children. This spring I will have certificates for baby chicks and farm fresh eggs. I don't sell them so I'm not boosting my business.
We seldom take anything even if we have our grandsons with us. Even they think the toys that most leave are not worth messing with. They realize at age 7 and 9 that it is just fun finding them. They have even offered up their personal toys that are in good condition.
As for having money, I don't have much. I have worked about 14 months of the last 3.5 years and can't get unemployment. I'm in construction and it really sucks in north Idaho now.
I'm just happy to be alive and able to get out and enjoy the things I like. Geocashing has become a great one. I have a friend that isn't as fortunate as he will be going to me the lord shortly. Made me rethink a lot of things.
Have a great geocashing experience!
