  1. Well I had a birthday recently. here is what I got. 3 Lock n Locks 1 Magnetic canister 1 Metal tin, Designed to look like a SPAM canister 1 Blank journal cover design is SPAM Hmm Looks like I got some planning to do......
  2. If you are ever going to be in Philly, let me know. Would love to team up with you for a few caches here. Im still a beginner myself, only 50 finds, and Im looking for people to share this with. As for tips. Youtube. Lots of help is there, and it will help you by showing you what other people have done so you get an idea of what to expect.
  3. Youtube has a ton of stuff to watch. I sit and watch those videos for a long time, and they really help. I am new to this myself, and some of those vids were the difference between a DNF and a smiley. Also google "evil geocaches", and look at the containers that are for sale. This will help by showing you what is out there. Good luck
  4. Here in Philadelphia we have the Mutter Museum (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=mutter%20museum%20philadelphia&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CGQQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.collegeofphysicians.org%2F&ei=AGMpUJ2vJarM6QH63YDYCw&usg=AFQjCNEi9D_L_Cb_BHVpqg-8lnv_Sfnf-A), they sell a snotty nose toy. One of which I found in a cache here. As for the term....I have never heard it.
  5. That is exactly what I was hoping to find! Thanks alot!
  6. Picked? I didn't pick it. I literally stumbled on it. I was walking down the sidewalk, saw a step coming up and looked down so I wouldn't trip on it and that's how I found it. At least I had been through the forums before, and had seen this section so I knew what it was. If I hadn't glanced over the entire forum I still would have no idea. Fortunately thanks to the information here I recognized it. Adna big thanks to you for helping ID this one.
  7. Well I found my first Benchmark today. Walking down the sidewalk, looked down to avoid a step and then did a double take as it was staring right at me. Now I need to figure out what to do with this. What do I post, how do I identify the mark, I have been over the Benchmark page looking for it to log. there are 2 caches right beside it (both at 5.5 miles from me, and the benchmark is right between them.) but when I checked the benchmark page I couldn't find it. Its in Philadelphia at the corner of 3rd and arch streets if thats any help. Otherwise Any info you provide me is welcome. heres a pic of it. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w299/fishkeeperjim/geocaching/benchmark0001.jpg
  8. I googled it as well, and got lead to a ct forum. Ill post there as well when I get the account activated, to see if anyone local up there knows. but its a mystery to me.....and I like trying to solve them.
  9. Ok I found this in a cache yesterday and Im trying to figure out what it is. Is it a promotional item? a Sig item? Blue coin like, with the center cut out in the state of CT. One surface has printed on it "JPA 3&4 CACHING CONNECTICUT 2006" The other side is blank. Its not a trackable as there are no tracking numbers. Here is a pic of it http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w299/fishkeeperjim/geocaching/081212093753-1.jpg Anyone know what I have here?
  10. I actually would love to get there and hunt the devil myself! I know its not a ghost, but it still has me wanting to hunt it.....
  11. Yea I posted on the page that Pics are welcome. The current holder is going to take a few pics and post them before dropping it off.
  12. Well im in Philadelphia, so stop one is Philly. Stop two....California!
  13. Well I released my first coin. Nothing fancy but a Travel Slug coin, attached to a traveler. Reference number is TB50YMB, if anyone wants to look. Within hours of dropping it, it was picked up and is now in Southern California. I hope it stays on the move for a long time to come.
  14. Also you should look for extra fence posts. I found a you tube video once that the cache was a fake fence post.
  15. I say if you signed the log then its a find. Puzzles are Puzzles, in my opinion, and like the old saying goes, theres more than one way to... solve a puzzle. Ok so I changed the wording but it still aplies. I do agree that having someone else give you the answer is cheating though.
  16. My thoughts are fine with 1-6, I wouldn't take a find myself on number 7 but if I am on a team and they do it Thats on them. I just wouldn't log it on my own account.
  17. Hi. you create the log and then post it it will take you to a page that just shows your log. If the log is already posted go to the cache page to your log, in either case there will be a button to add images. Pic the image then upload it. once its uploaded repeat. As far as I know you can only upload one at a time. But you can keep adding as many as you want.
  18. just saw this in another thread and thought it would be perfect here. Place the Cache inside a Used sock before you hide it!
  19. some place with VERY POOR GPS reception would be perfect. Maybe a strip mall and have the cache near a metal tower of some sort that will mess with the signal...
  20. Sure if you want you can add me to the page. Ill be dropping more ideas as I come up with them. heres another one, Go to all the Lamp posts near Ground Zero, and add a Fim can micro with a note inside that says "Not the Cache keep looking."
  21. Check the Cache description and use the google maps link to look at the satellite images. I use this method to find them since I dont have a GPS, and after a few times you can pick up on details about placement. Also in the description you might see the letters MKH. Thats short for Magnetic Key Holder.
  22. I thought about the chocolate coins but that would be against the guidelines.
  23. Posting on Aprils fools day is a dead give away. I just thought of something else. Post on the cache page there is a FTF coin, but its actually one of those plastic gold coins that are a dozen for a dollar.. Also Get a few friends with extra fav points and have them drop a couple onto it.
