nukualofa Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 These are the 30 oldest caches in the world, that has yet to be found. I only counted regular caches and multi caches, not ghost caches or any other sort. I haven't checked it, but I believe one of the Estonian caches would be closest to my home in Norway. Which one is closest you you?

+Deneye Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 yeah..what is with you Eastern Creeps & Bums You're making the rest of us canucks look bad by not finding your caches! Quote Link to comment
twjolson & Kay Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 The Alberta one is closest to me, which I would love to find. But dang, I have to climb a freaking mountian to get it. Quote Link to comment
+Doc-Dean Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 What is the difference between a virgin cache that is 4 yrs old and trash?? If it were one of mine, I would have removed it a long time ago. What's the purpose of hiding a cache where no one will ever or can ever find it? Another point, someone else made is Who would hunt a 4 year old virgin cache on top of a mountain? I guess if I was going to be on the top of the mountain anyway.... Quote Link to comment
+Dan-oh Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Interesting. I also ran a PQ for unfounds in my area and there aren't too many old unfounds. For some of the cachers this is the only cache they ever placed or they stopped caching 4 years ago. This is my first cache. I forgot to put a log-book in the cache. If the first to visit could please bring paper and a pen in a zip bag... thanks. Hmmm, what motivation. Quote Link to comment
+Corp Of Discovery Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 (edited) Nevermind. Edit: didn't see caches at the end. Edited June 28, 2005 by Corp Of Discovery Quote Link to comment
+DeViDe Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 We went to Argentina a few years ago and went to a cache that had been sitting for 14 months. When we logged our find, the owner got really excited. He was beginning to think that no one would ever log his cache. It was kind of fun to see him get so excited. Quote Link to comment
+tabulator32 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I think its awesome to have unfound, ancient relics. That particular quality should denote that they have a special challenge to them and should make the FTF particularly proud of their find. These are the caches that, if still unfound and still existing in a few years will become the challenges and the bets in the forums. One day, there's gonna be a cache on display (not for logging) in the Smithsonian. These yet-to-be-found historic caches will be part of the rich heritage of geocaching people hear about when they pay $12.00 to listen to the audio tour. I think that's cool. Quote Link to comment
Freightdawg Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I'm just curious how you generated the list. ??? Quote Link to comment

+NomadVW Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Pocket query Not found All provinces/states (which includes the "none" for the rest of the world) Placed between 1/1/2000 and 12/31/2001 Coughs up 52 caches, some archived, etc... VW Closest ones to me are in Korea, all archived. Next closest is in China - essentially inactive. First closest to me is a virtual in the Phillipines, a 2-3 day trip from Manilla. Closest in 2001 is a Virtual in Tibet. Cripes Quote Link to comment
+Red_Cedars Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 (edited) The closest to me is the one in Alaska, but that's not very close. I did a Google Map to the cache from Nome, Alaska, though. Here's a link to the result. Link Doesn't look too bad (only 95 miles), if you have the time and a Jeep. R_C Edited July 9, 2005 by Red_Cedars Quote Link to comment
