+GeoJunkie Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Time in a Capsule Just came across this site this morning - anyone thought about doing this? What a great idea to save something for posterity - a geocache for the generations! Quote Link to comment
+Drgnsrealm Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Time in a Capsule Just came across this site this morning - anyone thought about doing this? What a great idea to save something for posterity - a geocache for the generations! The only thing I can see wrong with this, is that they buried the 'Time Capsules'. Check the Geocachings rules, and you'll see that buried caches are not allowed. Now if they just hid them, and placed the cords in here, that would be perfect. So long as they were not near any other cache. Check the Geocaching rules. You'll see what I mean. Great idea though. But GPS are not dead on. People would be digging holes everywhere.

+aaromash Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I've thought about doing this, but it doesn't seem right to bury something on public land. And there isn't much land in our family that is guaranteed to be here for the next generation. Quote Link to comment
+team moxiepup Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I've often wondered about the potential for geocaches to become archaeological objects in the future. Most caches will, over time, either be updated, replaced, archived, adopted, etc., but there are bound to be a few that slip through the system, and become lost/abandoned over the years. If the container is a good one (ammo boxes spring to mind) and the cache is well placed, it could last for a couple hundred years, and be discovered down the line. Imagine the swag being poured over by some archaeologist, searching for indications of the culture "back when"! Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I've heard of this before. It does annoy me when people slap the word cache into their concept when it goes against some of the basic tenets of the geocaching community. We have enough issues without some poorly misguided concept of burying treasured memories in the great outdoors for future generations to find (or not). Quote Link to comment

Cache is a generic reference. Quote Link to comment

+Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 This cache got buried via development and turned into a time capsule. Quote Link to comment
