[Would you log this as a find?]

I recently 'found' a magnet attached to a sign, which I am certain is where the cache used to be (other geocachers reported finding this magnet too, but finding nothing more). I logged this as a DNF as the cache is not there! There's no log book, so it's not a cache. I went to check on the cache a week later to see if any maintenance had been done (incidentally there hadn't) but someone had logged it as found, stating 'I found the magnet'. Can't say I agree with that, but it takes all sorts to play the game I guess

Thanks everyone for your input. I drove past the place on the way home last night and noticed a potential spot to leave the cache outside the grounds, as someone mentioned. This way, I can still give the history of the place and give info on what you can do/see inside, without people having to pay for the cache. I think this is what I'll do if I decide to definitely put a cache there.

 

Thanks again

Thanks for the responses thus far and also your advice on face to face communication. When I did a little search for 'contacting landowners for permission', I came across a letter template, so I blindly accepted this was the way to go but perhaps not

 

In regards to contacting a local reviewer, I will do that in due course but really my question was just a broad thing to gauge people's reaction to this. Do people not like having to pay to log a cache, etc? ).

 

Thanks again for your help

Hello all!

Looking for some guidance as I can't find the answer to my question. Near where i live there are some lovely gardens with historical significance and it's a lovely place to walk around and have a picnic, etc. I am well aware I would need the permission of the landowner and intend to write to them to ask before placing a cache but my question is:

How do people feel about having a cache placed somewhere that you have to pay to get in? The fee is €6 for adults and kids are free. Have you come across caches where you have to pay in? Did you mind or did it annoy you?

I am new to the game and want to hide caches in places that are historically interesting and/or scenic, and I think this place is lovely.

Any thoughts much appreciated
