jacksonsfind

I am lucky that I have a kid who doesn't play with his Wii and loves being outside all the time. Very active!! My favorite part is the hunt once at the location, but I think I like the swag part as much as he does The cache I found this morning had a few little trinkets in it, but my son didn't want any of it and we added a few to it. The one we found last night also had a few things in it, but also a hairband

Great replies everyone and thanks for the feedback. I have left 4-5 little, nice items in all that I have come across. I will continue to do that. In the end, I hope that a few kids along the way find something cool that I have left and the adults learn from it too.

I am very new to geocaching. I have only looked for a handful of caches so far and still have a lot to learn. All of the caches I have looked for, with the exception of one, are container sizes. One reason is that I am new and the other reason is because I do this with my younger son, who loves finding the "prize". But, I have to say that while I leave nice, clean items in the container,that is not what we find in them most of the time. Examples are pacifiers, hairbows, pen lids, etc! Is it the area I live in? Does this seem to happen to a lot of you out there? I want to come up with a nice, fun signature "gift" to put in the caches I find, but hate not finding nice things in return. I don't expect expensive items of course, but would like to see nicer and cleaner swags. If your suppose to replace the item you take with something equal or nicer, I would love to know what the person took who left a pacifier or hairbow? Thanks in advance for the feedback.
