+dblrngr Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Our community is rather new to geocaching. We will be having our first geo-meet later this month. I would like to give out some prizes for 25+ and 50+ caches found. Does anyone know of something out there that is for sale for this purpose. I can always give out TB's or GC coins, but would like to have something specific to # of finds. thanks much - dblrngr Quote Link to comment
+cache_test_dummies Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 You seem to be in a relatively cache-sparse area. How about giving away some ready to go, fully stocked caches whose size/contents are based on the number of finds of the award recipients? Quote Link to comment
+ScoutingWV Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 You can get milestone coins here. You can also make your own wooden nickels (cut wooden dowels and stamp them) or other tokens and certificates for relatively little cost. Hope it helps. Quote Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Get some gold paint at the dollar store, and a bunch of 35mm film cans at Wal-Mart. Paint the cans gold, put in a little paper log, and presto, instant awards. I'm getting one on Sunday for 100 caches found. Quote Link to comment
+N8OFP - Del Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 We live in a cache rich area. Our group doesn't generally give out awares until the cacher reaches the 1K milestone. Then we all have a big party and the new 1kers receave a Golden Ammo Can. The last group of 1ker get to put on the party for the new 1kers, and they get to create and stock the Golden Ammo Cans. We have a great time at the 1k parties. Quote Link to comment

+dblrngr Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 Nice ideas, I am working on some of them today. Jesh 1K... we would have to travel at least 250-300 miles (one way) to even get close to those sorts of numbers. We're all still working on getting to 100 But dang it, we're gonna try for more. Last year around this time we had about 4 cachers, we are now up to about 30 families ! Thanks again for all the help. dblrngr Quote Link to comment

We will have to make another trip up there when the ground thaws out. Hey -- send some of those people down here - our caches are getting lonely. We still have one we placed last summer (with a white jeep even while the contest was still going on) that hasn't been found yet. You know you are in a sparse cache area when you can get away with that. Quote Link to comment
