If I have a pathtag that I've acquired I would leave that. If you have a signature item, that would be good. My favorite signature item was from a while back. A cacher named SecretSpy would leave these tungsten carbide inserts. I have a few and they are really perfect. Small but have a great heft to them. And in various shapes. He said he got them from work and that they were used but they sure looked new to me. Not exactly cheap. http://best-carbide.com/en/product/carbide-inserts.html

I don't even know but they are a higher-end sports gear place. REI Co-op. Regular sized bison tubes can be found online: https://www.ebay.com/i/253073258323?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=253073258323 https://www.amazon.com/Geocaching-Containers-Holder-Supplies-Geocache/dp/B01ATVF7ZC The ones you pictured are a little different, though.

Since re-starting my geocaching in the smartphone era that is all I have done and I figured everyone used it that way.

This is why I don’t DNF a cache unless I suspect it is missing. At most I would have posted a note in that situation.

I use an iPhone 6 and it seems to work fine. I use the Geocaching app.

I think about this every time I even think of introducing someone to it.

TFTC!

Thanks for the thread.

....if they haven't already. Jump to 7:20 for the decode.

Didn't know that! I've heard that said of Ireland. Kinda makes sense an island could be free of snakes but snakes can swim pretty well, I thought.

FWIW some guy created a competing system around 2005, if I had to guess. I liked it because it allowed virtuals which geocaching stopped approving. That was all I wanted out of it. But there was this scoring system much like you spoke of. To me it turned me off of the whole thing. BTW, I'm pretty sure it was called Waymarking but I don't know if the current Waymarking is related or not. [edit: it is the same thing because one of my old ones is still on there.]

As a side note, when I bought my house the previous owner had a lot of good stuff. I told him to just leave anything he didn't move. I got a mower and edger and a tree saw a shovels and all sorts of good stuff that way. Anyway, among a bunch of junk on a shelf in the garage were two film canisters with film in them. Since the leader was inside the "cartridge" I figured it was exposed. I thought it would be neat to see what was on them but then I got paranoid and thinking what might be on them could be bad in some way and then I would be implicated somehow. So I didn't.

Round these parts the cans were black and the lids were grey. If I saw the reverse it would be mildly unsettling.

Film canisters would be fine if their lids were replaced once in a while. The plastic has to remain pliable and when they become brittle they will break and leak.

That's a neat idea.

OK, thanks.

If you zoom in real close and squint it kind looks like someone on their backswing. Guess two are in the sand traps here. LOL!

Sure seems like a lot of them. Bottom part of the map....

The legend I'm seeing doesn't have it. They look like little men. It is a golf course. I thought that might signify the tee-off areas ("Obviously, you're not a golfer") But there are more than 18 by far (not all show with this view.)

That sums it up, well. I don't expect the coordinates to be closer than 15 feet or so anyway.

I use a Zebra F-301 which seems to work well.

Neat!

For the most part, the types of caches that could be had at higher numbers usually aren't the sort that appeal to me.
