+BlueDeuce Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Unless the cache page specifically states that the cache is to be moved and new coords posted, put the cache back exactly how you found it. On occasion you might need to hide it just a bit better, like if you found it laying on the ground, but if in doubt check with the cache owner. Quote Link to comment
+FamilyDNA Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) Most definately put it back where you found it! If you take something from it, leave something of equal or greater value. Be sure to sign the log book. To record your find, click the "log your visit" link on the top right of the cache decription page. Edited January 3, 2007 by FamilyDNA Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 also, read this: How do I log a cache that I searched for? Quote Link to comment
+BuxCamper Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 You hide it right back where you found it and in at least the same manner that you found it. If its too exposed (seeing a little bit from only a few angles is OK) I cover it up better. As for trading you generally replace one item for each taken. Some people trade nothing and just sign the log, others add items but don't take any. There is a FAQ/Getting Started link on the main page of geocaching .com. Quote Link to comment
ryudo deviln Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 thankyou all happy new year Quote Link to comment
+Super_Nate Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I see you haven't posted founds on any caches yet...you do that by going to the cache page and clicking on the link in the upper right corner that says "Found it...log it" and you fill out the simple form and then submit. You have then found a cache....congrats. Wish you luck on geocaching in the future. Quote Link to comment

+Markwell Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 hello im ryudo deviln ...thanks for your help pleese help..............n e one..............pleese? Just so you know - this also isn't exactly a chat room. You got some good posts, but remember that not everyone is reading every thread. You waited only 4 minutes between your first and second pleas for help. Give us time to answer. And.... most importantly: WELCOME TO THE ADDICTION. Quote Link to comment
+badlands Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 On the on-line logging. Make sure to log your finds AND your DNF's (not founds). The DNF's are a way to let the cache owner know that there may be a problem with the cache, or that you may need help (a hint) in finding it. And what Markwell said: Welcome Quote Link to comment
CMSoliday Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I have found a couple caches that had well defined paths leading right to them. Besides re-covering the cash, you may even want to cover your tracks back away from the location as a favor to the next treasure hunter! For instance, it is winter: if you go about 20 feet away and grab a large handful of leaves, you can go back to the cache and then sprinkle the leaves as you back away for a couple feet. Just give a thought to the next person and do the right thing! Cheers, Quote Link to comment
