+scaw Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Ive recently put a few coins and travel bugs as first to find prizes as i do enjoy watching my coins and TB travels. Ive made a couple of laminated certificates and popped those in with FTF. What do you put in as FTF prizes? Does anyone even put them in really intrasted to know Quote Link to comment
+purple_pineapple Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 If I've got one handy, then a nice coin with an icon will go in, and on some of our caches, we put in a Scratchcard. This is usually stapled to the FTF certificate, to make it obvious its a prize. All caches have a laminated FTF certificate, although we may now start creating fridge magnet certificates... coming soon to a cache new you! Quote Link to comment
+Jonovich Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I was very happy to find a book of stamps as a FTF prize on a geocache! The prize was even put into a nice envelope and labelled up for the first to find! This was also the first geocache I'd been first to as well - so doubly nice! Cheers J Quote Link to comment
+LollyBob Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Ive recently put a few coins and travel bugs as first to find prizes as i do enjoy watching my coins and TB travels. Ive made a couple of laminated certificates and popped those in with FTF. What do you put in as FTF prizes? Does anyone even put them in really intrasted to know We have only put out 4 caches but in all of them we have put a FTF certificate in, along with a FTF keyring. We have been the FTF 2 but no certificates in them. Its ok if there are not any in one as it is still a thrill to be FTF. I love creating things on the pc so I find it easy to do but some people find it difficult or do not have the time to make any. I love to find tb's in caches because there is always a story behind them. It does not matter to me what someone puts in their caches as I know people have made the time and effort putting one out for others to enjoy. .... but I would LOVE to have a FTF cerificate to put on my fridge!!

+Brenin Tegeingl Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 For one I a created a unique Wooden Clock themed around the area where the cache is. For another I made a Slate Plaque with a Oak Base (which was from a cupboard over 100 years old). Dave Quote Link to comment
+Boneychest & Catsuey Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 We put in a small, gift wrapped bottle of my favourite dram (and as most of them are my favourite ..... ) Obviously no micro's here then! Quote Link to comment
markandlynn Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 We put a crisp brand new £50 note in all of our caches in fact last weekend we put another in one of our caches just cant remember which one Usually a FTF cert snerdbe has all but one of these and our next one will have a geocoin in it Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 We put in a small, gift wrapped bottle of my favourite dram (and as most of them are my favourite ..... ) Let's hope that your favourite dram is something along the lines of Irn Bru, as alcohol isn't allowed! Quote Link to comment
+The Golem Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Rather than give a FTF prize I try and fill the cache with goodies. Recent "prizes" have included little Golems all the way from Prague, a book, pendants and necklaces, keyring karabiner thingies, a canine cachers geocoin , rings, bracelets, fossils, a wire saw and all sorts of other odds and ends. I recently paid a maintenance visit to one of my caches and found all my cool trades had been replaced with cr@p - such is the nature of caching.... I must add that Scaw does leave some excellent goodies in her caches too - all the more reason to be FTF!! Quote Link to comment
+bassqee Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 My first cache had a nice hand drawn (not by me) doodle as the firs tto find prize since the cache was art related Not got a FTF in my second one yet as I had nothing that was suitable as a ftf prize, but I might nip down on saturday and stick in a few of these in it as no one has got the cahce yet (though a team is very close ) Colin Quote Link to comment
The Mount View Crew Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I got a FTF today and the bonus goddie was unactivated Travel Bug tags. Pretty generous I thought - a new TB will be activated and on its mission soon. Quote Link to comment
+Sensei TSKC Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 A nice watch; Radio; Good torch. these are a few of the not the norm FTF prizes. I try to ensure that each cache I put out has at least one TB. If I am lucky to be in possession of a Geocoin or Jeep then they go in too. Oss! Quote Link to comment
