Team 'Xiwolf' Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Hello, My wife, son and I did our first three caches today, and I must say we're all hooked. I was very surprised how well my Etrex Legend performed, got us right on top of all 3 caches perfectly, very impressed! Going to do some more tomorrow . Hopefully will be setting up a cache of our own soon, does anybody in the U.K know where to buy army decon containers? Any help would be appreciated. If I can't find any I'll use a tuppaware container and some caomouflage netting. Thanks, Xiwolf Quote Link to comment
+DcCow Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Congratulations and welcome to the addiction! I recommend posting your question about the containers in the UK Forum, you might get more responses from them on local availability. Good Luck and happy hunting. DC Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 (edited) Hey X. I remember when I started I was excited about the fact that I was now aware of all these caches placed nearby that hardly anyone one else knew about. Well, that's just me. Edit: oh yeah, those Legends are great. Dodgy Cacher - Is that the latest rock painting here in Iowa? Edited June 18, 2005 by BlueDeuce Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Ditto about the UK forum, and welcome! I'm based in Boston (US), but my happiest caching days have been from London down along the South coast. You have some mighty fine caches to look forward to! Quote Link to comment
Black Mage Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Once you "Pop," you just can't stop! By the way, I like the "letter play" in your name, Xiwolf, which I'm assuming the "Xi" is pronounced "she," much as the Chinese "Xian." Quote Link to comment

+tozainamboku Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Welcome, have fun. Take any wooden nickles. Sorry for my ignorance, but what are wooden nickles? Regards, Xiwolf "Don't take any wooden nickels" is an American phrase that may have originated in first decades of the 20th century as a warning to rural folks and immigrants to be on the watch for scammers trying to take their money. A nickel is the American 5 cent piece (as that is the metal it is made from) much as you may call a penny a copper. Once the phase became popular various folks began imprinting things on wooden disks to use as advertisements, tokens, etc. That practice continues to this day and wooden nickels are popular trade items in geocaches in the United States.
