Voigt54601 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I'm ready to place my first cache, the largest in my area (50 mile radius). It's a 3.5 gallon bucket, same diameter as a 5 gal. just shorter. I'm placing auction duds in it, good stuff I got at rummage sales, but didn't fare well on the electronic auction block. This cache weighs about 10 lbs! I'm wondering what to name it? I was thinking "auctiong duds" or encourage people to take their picture while sitting on the cache and call it " the county seat " I dunno. I see most folks name their cache in relation to the location it is at, but I'm not sure where I'm putting it yet. Your thoughts? Thanks Quote Link to comment
+Ed & Julie Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 There is no rhyme or reason to cache names. You call it what you think it needs to be called. I have come up with the cache name first, and fit the hide to the name, and vise-versa. Quote Link to comment

+Torry Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Going, going, gone. Auction action. No sale. Bidless. Bucket o' bargains. On the curb after the sale. Rummaging around. Quote Link to comment
Voigt54601 Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Great replies! Thank you. My first whim of a name was "auction duds" ... but then figured some people that geocache might not ebay, or rummage, so that kinda geared me away from that. As well, over time, all the original stuff will be gone and will probably regress into your typical cache items. *shrug* The throne? (I like the 'sit on it' too) I'm putting the cache in the car tomorrow and finding a spot for it, so maybe it will come to me then. Keep the ideas coming, thanks! Quote Link to comment
+tands Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 how about 'Yard Sale' Around here that would get you about 50 people in pickup trucks trying to see its contents at 6am on Saturday. - T of TandS Quote Link to comment

+team moxiepup Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 How about... "Set Yer Bucket on the Bucket" "The Butt Stops Here" "You Bet Your Bottom" Or just be obscure and call it "Shirley" It's nice to keep people guessing, and it's a nice name. I've two aunts named Shirley. Quote Link to comment

+Sputnik 57 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Ralph. Has nothing to do with your cache. I just always like the name Ralph. Quote Link to comment

Voigt54601 Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Good ideas, still not firm on one though. I emailed the DNR manager that is the contact for the forest I would like to place it in, I got a read receipt that he got my email, but no reply, I'm guessing he is thinking NO!. So, it still is not placed. Tans, you cracked me up with that, I'm one of those in a pickup on Fri/Sat morns I retrieved a Jeep travel bug today as well to throw in this cache, people like 'em, its my first time playing with one, so will be a nice addition to the cache. Thanks for the input Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I actually wouldn't name it in relation to its original contents. That part of it wont last long. Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) One man's trash is another man's ... trash. I actually like using puns of the area instead of the contents, unless it's themed. Some of my current cache names: Thumb Thing Elth (In Knoch Knolls park, and part of many caches that start off Knoch, Knoch and Who's There?, etc. The Acorn Doesn't Fall Far - it has to do with a pun on the specific hiding method, the source of the container, and the person from which I emulated this hide. How the Mighty Have Fallen - big tree, fell down, no one heard it. Choir of Trees - located in Coral Woods You get the idea. It's anything that catches your fancy.

Voigt54601 Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 ok, I placed it and named it, the official name is ..............-drumroll-.............. EXPERIMENTAL FOREST THICKET Left it in the basement of what looks to be an 1800s homestead, pretty cool place. Tough hiding a 5 gallon bucket! Quote Link to comment
