top 10 ways stop muggles

[+edscott]

I have a method that works very well for me. When I arrive to cache location and find a lot of people just hanging about I will announce what I am doing. I will loudly say to the people in the area, "I am a geocache hunter. I am looking for geocaches. Has anyone seen a geocache around here?" This has always had two very desirable effects. Either they quickly find somewhere else to be or they ignore my presence as if I am not even there.

 

Or perhaps.. "There is a report of a geocache somewhere in this area. It may have been here since after WWII. I recommend you clear the area so I can search.

Or just hold the gps up to your ear. They won't know the difference.

 

I've approached cachers before who did this thinking I was a muggle and I always offer them my cell phone and tell them to use my phone while I hunt this cache.

This is my first Post but here goes...

A method I used that seemed to work is: At a park hunting, for a cache, there were a lot of muggles around. there were three of us so I pretended to be teaching a class on how to use a GPS - People looked at us then whent on there way with out a second look.

Two guaranteed ways to get rid of non-cachers in the area:

1.) Ask them for money.

2.) Start handing out that stack of religious tracts you found in the last cache you visited.

A good idea. However, at one park, I collected $3.08 before I found the cache and in the process, someone gave me a geocoin!
