I started caching not too long ago (April of '06) and after almost 80 caches I still feel conspicuous some of the time. Just remember that the other people you see around most likely aren't paying a bit of attention to what you're doing. Now if you're trying for a magnetic keyholder attached to the bench they're currently sitting on they might Just use your best judgement. If you're surrounded by muggles it might not be the best time to dive off into the woods shouting "there it is!" As you keep caching you'll get more and more comfortable with the hunt and with doing slightly "strange" things in public. As for cemetery caches...I absolutely adore these. I've found that most of the caches in my area are placed with the utmost respect for the area. Most often they are located around a perimeter fence well away from the graves themselves. If they are located within the cemetery itself they will be smalls or micros hidden in a tree and the owners do their best to make sure that the graves themselves are protected from heavy foot traffic and overzealous searchers. I do think that there are a lot of cemetery-based puzzle caches. We have one located in Woodland Cemetery in Dayton OH, about 20 miles from where I live. It's several stages, takes about 3 hours to complete and uses numbers from the stones to guide you from point to point. If you have any really large cemeteries around you then I'd say chances are good there will be something like this in them.
