The first search I did I did not come up with any results. What I did not realize was that it was only the posts in the past 30 days. I changed by search for the past year and found them thanks... see: THIS THREAD FOR EXAMPLE Thanks... And thanks for the great discussion on the "value icon" thingy I found my answer thanks.. bye.

I agree with Jeremy.. I don't like the idea of a value cache icon anymore.. and as I said before have changed my mind on the whole thing... But now I am thinking of a rating system.. Not a rating that has anything to do with what is inside the cache but the experience and adventure of the cache... has a rating of a cache site been discussed before? perhaps i shoud start a new thread on it

well said/ written .... I have changed my mind about the "value" Icon and don't think it is needed anymore.. You are right it is the location, adventure and the people visiting the area that makes it valuable as well as the cache itself.. Although I would like to see a bookmark of "treasure" caches.. Actually what do you think about a rating system? like the cachers who visit a cache give the cache a rating between 1 and 5 where 1 star Sucks and 5 stars is great ?? As for the value icon just having it MOC seems to be good enough.. and the logs should reflect the great location and waterfalls in the area.. The people visiting the cache should now all be members and have more love for geocaching and I will revisit the cache to keep it maintained and "stocked"

I changed my mind about having the icon for caches with cash or other big items in it.. I have choosen the route to make the caches that I set that have a lot of money or big items in them to be MOC.. I did a search on other MOC caches in my area and it seems that they seem to lean more to the quality caches I was looking for.. not all MOC caches have anything great in them but the people looking for them have more love for geocaching and tend to be nicer to the cache then non-members seem to be..

What does TTF stand for?? can not find that HERE

Yes.. I will add some unlaunched TBs to the cache the next time I visit it.. might make it hard for a geocacher to choose what to take

Re-reading my post I think I was being a bit defensive and going a little off track.. I am sorry about that.. I would delete or re-word the post but thought it best to leave it alone.... I did find the answer to my question/ feature request which was to make the cache a Members only cache (MOC).. I did a pocket query search of other MOC caches and found that the contents of the caches that are MOC do tend to lean towards what I was looking for as a "quality cache" not always money but at least somthing ... I even found other MOC caches in the state that have $100 bills in them as FTF.. like The Last Kukui Not all MOC caches are "quality caches" but it is a step in the direction I was looking.. I changed my cache to MOC.. I will also re-visit the cache in the next month to place some TB's in it and add more cache items with a bigger container since the hiding spot I found for it can fit a bigger container easy.

Very good points.. I agree the real fun is the hunt and the location that the cache is in. Just would be an added plus if something in the cache as well.. I was thinking of making it a MOC but the location where the cache is is somewhat difficult to get to.. you have to actually swim part of the trip and the last time this cache was placed no one found it .. It is a known place for locals which I think took the last one. But I can make it MOC and if no one finds it change it back right?? At any rate.. I will re-stock the cache in a month or so and place some TB's in it. If I bring a bigger container and wrap everything in plastic and lots of zip lock bags perhaps it will last not being found for a long time..

ok maybe that is off topic.. i edited that out ..

Hawaii does seem to have more of a "Ohana" and faith in mankind.. I have been to the mainland and was amazed on how cold and mean SOME people can be there... I am not saying they are all mean on the mainland but the general attitude does feel different. Here in Hawaii most people are still trusting of each other and call all strangers cousens and are here to help eachother... if you help others it feels good.. On the mainland with all the crime and strange people around it is a bit more cold of a feeling.. For example over here on the island I feel safe hitch hiking around the island and meet many nice people that way.. On the mainland I would be be fearful to hitch hike.. in fact I think hitch hiking is against the law in some states. In most cases it feels good to help people even if it does not come back to you... on the mainland It seems to be more of "what is in it for me" ?? If they do not know you, you are untrusted and in some cases their enemy and if you try to do somthing nice to someone on the mainland they react very strangly to you ... like what is it you are trying to get in return because you MUST be wanting somthing in return... they think you are strange for helping them when you do not know them.. no aloha .... it is very sad.. I have lived in Hawaii all my life and visited Colorado and California and found the people there to very un-willing to accept the fact that people can do things for others just out of Aloha but I might of just met the wrong people. I wanted to make a cache that is a treasure but also can continue to be a cache after the First find .. which is the case here... after whoever it is that first finds the cache first collects the $100 in ones or takes only some of the money as I hope so that the next cacher can find some cash too... there is still a lot in the cache for it to continue to be a good cache to find.... At anyrate.. The cache I actually adopted is in a very special location. When you hike to it you will pass 4 waterfalls and a increadable bamboo forest and is in my opinion one of the best Hiking trails you can do in Hawaii so even if you do not find the cache you wil binigfit from the location ... At the end of the hiking you will find a 40 foot waterfall and a cache that is hidden in the falls with $100 in it .. I am not sure why it seems that only in Hawaii are the people nice and considerate to strangers.. it is beyond me... but then again I have lived nowhere else...

What is the possibility of adding another icon just like the travel bug and geocoin caches have for caches with valuable items in it for FTF (First to Find). Say any geocache with lots of cash or items of more then $50 value .. Like a dollar sign next to it or something?? What do you think? Might encourage more great prize FTF geocaches? You can set a rule that the geocache must contain other items and such to prevent just a treasure hunt from happening.. Like this cache which has about $100 in ones in it, a camera, a model car, silly puddy, and a lei.. It is a great FTF but also contains other good items for all the non- Frist to find people.. Cold Hard Cache What do you think??

Any onther caches people know about with money in it or valuables ? There should be an icon for this in the caches.. just like the travel big and geocoin caches have. Say any geocache with lots of cash or items of more then $50 value .. Like a dollar sign next to it or something.. even if the treasure is for FTF any onther caches?? anyone??

This is a duplicate thread.. THIS THREAD IS BEING DISCUSSED HERE: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=114698

I find it hard to believe that COLD HARD CACHE is the only cache that contains more then $20 in it ... was there at one time "one time finds" on geocaching.com where people hid like $100 bills and such?? The COLD HARD CACHE has a big stack of $1 bills in it..

Has anyone found a lot of money in a cache??? There is a lot of money in this cache and was wondering if anyone has some links to others like this one. Waypoint: GCHREH There is a lot of other things in the cache like a camera, a model car, some postcards etc...

I just wantted to say that $30 a year is CHEAP for how great this site is!! I am a database programmer and write many php and MySQL database driven websites and some of the sites I have made require a $20 per month membership so this is like loose change.. Crafty Syntax http://craftysyntax.com

There are a few Caches out there that are one-time-only caches with Gold and Silver as well as other nice items .. It would be nice if the programmers of geocache made a special icon for these and made them locateable in the database from the search page(http://www.geocaching.com/hideseek/ ) i.e. have a drop menu of the different type oc cache's (multi cache, virtual cache, large cache, reg cache.. etc..) maybe make a gold coin icon for it and have it listed as finders keepers. or something? what do you think. here is an example: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=16272
