Thanks for your answers. Yes we did read the rules, but interpretted them to be that you weren't place a cache that required other geocachers to dig in order to find the cache. We have seen other caches like this as well. Our mistake. We will archive the cache and come up with a new location and/or container.

We have a cache in which the container is partially buried (actually only the lid is above ground). Someone has written to us stating that the rules say that they are off limit if burried. and if a shovel, trowel or other pointy object is used to dig, whether in order to hide or to find the cache, then it is not approptiate. A trowel was used to originally place the container, but all geocachers have to due is remove the lid and pull out the bag. no digging is required. Is this an acceptable geocache? We thought this rule was to avoid people going around digging, not that you couldn't dig to place a cache. We have seen several like ours during our travels.
