MouseFart Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) My 11 yr old son and myself made 7 finds out of 8 attempts today. While at one location, we were searching through some low shrubbery. My son was 8-10 feet away from me and found the small container inside a hollow log which was placed underneath the shrubbery. At about the same time while I was searching just down from him, I found a loose $5.00 bill that had blown into the bushes. Great day of caching and made money to boot...!!

+Prime Suspect Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I found someone's bank debit card at a cache Friday. Quote Link to comment

+Prime Suspect Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I found someone's bank debit card at a cache Friday. So you're off to do some caching in the Bahamas? No, it had been there a few days, so I'm sure the schmuck who lost it had reported it missing by now, so there was no point it trying to get it back to him. Cut up and trashed. (Though when I get rid of my own credit cards, they get the blow torch treatment. Nothing left but a smoking black lump of plastic.) Quote Link to comment
Makka Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 My 7yo scored 50 cents on our second day of caching, so he now thinks it's not just fun, but also a viable enterprise!! Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 One day I decided to take the cash from every cache I found. I thought I might get enough to buy a 6 pack if I was really lucky. I think I found around 10 - 12 caches that day. I ended up with $4.50 which wasn't quite enough for the beer (although I was amazed how many quarters I found and also a dollar bill). I left around $15.00 in swag in the caches. Not real profitable. Quote Link to comment
Hillbilly-Rockstar Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I found someone's bank debit card at a cache Friday. So you're off to do some caching in the Bahamas? Caching in the bahamas isn't much fun. It's really hot, and really scary. The heats not what gets me, it's walking 'further than the tourist spots'. It can get akward, I came back once I left the boardwalk! ____ Instead of finding a cache once, I found a (I think) cachers wallet. I posted a note on the cache page, even though I should have logged it along with my DNF -Eric Quote Link to comment
ImpalaBob Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I found a $25 gift card to Border's on the ground while walking to a cache in Lancaster, PA! I called the number on the back and it was ..... worth $25. It pays to CITO. ImpalaBob Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I DNF'ed a cache at a particularly trashy location once, looked down to see a fat wad of bills by my boot. This place was so nasty, I actually hesitated before picking it up. Then I wondered if it might belong to one of the charming local drug dealers, so I high-tailed it back to the car. Turned out to be ten dollars in ones. It was fat because they were wet and swollen. But, hey. Ten bucks. Quote Link to comment
+Big Max Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I found six pennies in a cache the other day. I think it was left in exchange for an Etrex Venture Cx. Quote Link to comment

+Blue Power Ranger Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Found $20 on the trail once! Really enjoyed that! Quote Link to comment
+Jayrod7 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 i went after 12 caches and 5 of them had some coins from mexico in them. i have no idea how much that sub total is but i quess if im ever caching in mexico and need something =) Quote Link to comment
+Team Dromomania Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I find coins from time to time while caching but I have a couple of interesting finds this year. In the middle of the wilderness I picked up a coin and wiped the dirt off. I had a 1920 s wheat penny. I bet it could tell a few stories. A few miles from this in the same general wilderness area I found a $2 bill along side of the trail. Yep, geocaching is starting to pay off. Quote Link to comment

Team Firebird Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 When I was in first grade, I found $350 dollars in a parking lot. I later put a cache there! Quote Link to comment
