Still super brand new to this. 3 days, 17 finds, but I've been to over 24 locations. Sometimes, I don't know if it's my phone's GPS that isn't working; if I don't know exactly what to look for; or if I am not looking hard enough. So, my question is: How long do you look before throwing in the towel, and, do you always log it as "not found"? I didn't want to say I didnt find it in case it was a negative to whoever hid the cache. Again....still not sure exactly how this works. So, under what circumstances should you, or should you not log as "didn't find it"?

I already made my first few post but will say hello anyways! I live in Alberta, Canada. Work at home, married father of 2. An almost 3 son and almost 1 year old daughter. Just found out about this 3 days ago while on a hockey forum. Can't believe I never knew about it before and wish I had known when I was a flight attendant. THAT would have been sweet! Brought my son out today to hunt for "treasures" and he loves it, so I am excited to continue doing it with him as often as I can! Still trying to learn as much of the lingo and rules as quickly as I can. Cheers TCG

Thanks to all. I will NOT leave any food related items in Caches. I found 6 today, and 3 contained business cards, so I will still debate that one, but understand the "why" as to not leave anything food related and will respect that. As for the uneducated "pyramid scheme" remarks: I would LOVE to talk about how my pyramid (and I am proud to say I am in a pyramid)is very similar to your corporate pyramid, but will leave that for another day as to not sidetrack this thread. Again...thank you to all for the input, both pro and con. Greatly appreciated. Cheers TheChallengeGuy

Wow. Thank you for the many replies! Can't believe my first post attracted so many different answers. I should have specified my product. I have left a meal replacement shake and also left an energy drink. Both are in completely sealed packages and should not attract animals at all. The shake is about 2x3" and less than 1/4" thick. The energy drink is about the length of 2 "crystal lite water mix ins". Both can be, individually, mixed into water and consumed right there, or saved for later. The business card was stapled to the product package because the package itself does not contain any contact info or any details of where they could order it. I guess if the general consensus is that business cards are tacky, I could just sharpie my website on the package, right? Again....thank you to all who replied. I appreciate the insights! Cheers TheChallengeGuy

Hey gang, Just discovered this amazing fun today, but still don't know all the etiquette issues. So, here's my question: Can I leave samples of a product I sell? And business cards? Is that frowned upon at all? Thanks!
