I have been caching for a year. I just found my 100th cache! I have a lot of DNFs. Don't make it hard on yourself. You have a lot of learning to do. People hide things in different ways and in different types of containers. Keep looking for things that look out of place. I have a Magellan - my mentor taught me that Magellans tend to overshoot the target. When it says that the target is near, I keep on walking a ways, then turn around and walk back from the other side. Approaching the target from two sides seems to work better, at least with my unit.
Try to find some events in the area. Go to them and meet other cachers. You'll find them to be a warm bunch of people from all walks of life - all very friendly and helpful. At one of the events, one of the guys even wanted me to go out rappeling with them! (I didn't go - but maybe some day...)
Good luck to you.
Is this common of all magellan gps units? I have an explorist 400 and was wondering if I would have the same type of issue. I'm a brand spankin new noob to geocaching. I've managed to load some geocache points onto the unit and was going to set some time aside this weekend to head out for my first find or at least attempt my first find
Ok...i Have Reviewed The Faq
in How do I...?
