+makerofthingsup Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 Today I did a rare for me first time find and to my even greater delight there was a first find certificate inside, it was a very nicely done piece of work, it gave me an even greater buzz than if I'd just found it first. What a good idea this is don't you all think? Quote
+third-degree-witch Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 I would agree , Would be nice if it was widespread..gives the finder a little 'something' to show for their effort Quote
+Team Maddie UK Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 I also got a FTF certificate today:) First one I have ever gotten but have put them into final caches of two of our series. Yes it does make you feel good and I know a lot of cachers have started doing it. What is also good is getting a certificate at the end of a long series. Only got one of them so far Lynn Quote
nobby.nobbs Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 i got a first to solve cert the other day. as said it's really nice to have something to put on the wall to remember your first finds. something for us all to adopt. Quote
+Pharisee Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 I put a special 'First Finders' certificate in one of my 'more involved' caches and a load of slightly less impressive 'Finders Certificates' for susequent visitors. Quote
+Lincolnshire Mountaineer Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Do you have a template/example of a certificate that we could adapt? Quote
+Pharisee Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Do you have a template/example of a certificate that we could adapt? They're MS Word documents and if you really want them, they're HERE Quote
+StrongGale Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 I put a special FTF GeoTag in the last series I did... predictably, StevieP got the lot!!! :-) D Quote
+Skippy and Pingu Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 We always put FTF certificates in our caches. One of ours you will get emailed a finders certificate if you're not 1st, you deserve it! I tend to knock them up in CoralDraw in a spare 5 mins at work. Quote
+dblrngr Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 (edited) Here is the certificate I use and put it in a small frame. I have only placed two caches, but they both had a FTF & STF. I most definately will continue with this... I've had a few FTF, but no cert yet. I'm patiently waiting tho. I hope this works... and that you can read it?

+Messe Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Its nice to get a FTF Cert..they look good stuck to my PC...Most of my FTF Cert are got by the same cacher!......so if you want one you have to act fast...,anyway i always leave STF and TFT certs...ok it takes a little more time preparing the cache before its set free....no real hassle for the setter...major pleasure for the finders...

+alma Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 what a good idea the next cache i place which will be soon will have one in it Quote
