Unique Cache "treasures"

[+Team Maccabee]

I have just started Geocaching (thanks to DavidT21 & Fisherwoman!), and am curious as to the most unique or unusual items (i.e. "treasures" to my kids) that folk have found in caches over the years. What did you find and where did it end up?

I found a cache in northern NY ( lampson falls) that had a great treasure. The group of people that created this cache had signed a cup. It was a cheep plastic tumbler, probably stolen from the university they went to, but it was a great idea. The group, The Slackers, have created many, I was hoping to find another but am still searching.

I have come across a CD that Mightmules made, filled with various kinds of music (all different genres). On the cover it says to copy the CD for yourself (if you wish)and then keep it moving. I thought that was unique.

Someone in CT puts small wooden bowls and plates in caches that he makes himself. They're really nice. I've come across two of them. One we traded for. The other we left for someone else.

I found a simple little cache on US-24 highway near Beloit, KS. One of the "prizes" was a Tampon (unused of course - and still wrapped). I asked myself, why in the world anyone would leave anything like this. Then I thought, why in the world would anyone take anything like this from a cache.

 

Perhaps there is a TravelBug idea!

A cacher who visited a cache after me really like a handmade item I left, one of my I (Heart) Geocaching bracelets.

 

Pa liked my bracelet

 

I haven't really found any "treasure" other than discovering a few spots I never knew existed (and isn't that part of the point?). My favorite swag item I traded for was a simple 99-cent flashlight from Walmart (shhh, don't tell the hubby, he HATES Walmart). I love it because it's small enough to fit in my purse and I can use it while searching in dark places.

The best thing I ever found was a multi tool carabiner. What makes it even better is the inscription. "Happy Geocaching by Blueyes & Bugsy"I have it attached to my cache bag.

Here are a few examples which come to mind:

• A number of local caches here in MD bear handmade Medieval-style chain mail items by Fergus, who also places some awesome caches!
  One really fun item that my friend Greta and I found in a cache near the Snake River near Jackson, WY was three gift certificates for dinners at a local restaurant. No, we did not take them; we left them for someone who would enjoy them more!
  Sue says her most favorite item was a very rare "Rush" music CD, from Blood & Guts in Virginia cache!
  I saw a cache listing page in Idaho recently where a local farmer/cacher left a one hundred dollar bill as a trade item.
  And one last example of a fun trade item; this one left by our team: when our team recently finished the infamously difficult Blood & Guts in Virginia adventure cache, we contributed 5 imprinted (image plus legend) Blood & Guts T-shirts plus one imprinted Blood & Guts sweatshirt as trade items. There were a number of finders present at the final stage that day and the T-shirts were all taken within two hours. It was heartwarming to see them move so fast!
