toomanyyungins Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I seen advertised fake pvc pipe, poop, sticks, snakes, etc. Do people really use these? How the heck are we supposed to find the cache if you do? After seeing one online, my husband has the terrible feeling he may have inadvertently thrown a cache some 10 yards from its original coords.

Yes, there are all kinds of cache containers. I once looked under a small bridge and found myself staring a rattlesnake in the eye. Fortunately, it turned out to be a rubber snake with a cache in its belly. I've found large lizards, rats, spiders, etc. with caches in them. I've yet to encounter a fake poop cache but I will probably run across one eventually. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I've yet to encounter a fake poop cache but I will probably run across one eventually. I found one next to a doggie park. Looked at it twice and ignored it. Then I nudged it with my foot and it flipped over exposing the logbook. Also found one in a fake sprinkler head. Quote Link to comment
+LewisClan77 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I seen advertised fake pvc pipe, poop, sticks, snakes, etc. Do people really use these? . Absolutely people use fake poop...It takes alot of looking.I just got an FTF the other day on a multi where the coords to stage two were written on the bottom of "What looked like a nice steaming pile" of POOP. I also got FTF on the first one I saw...It took me three trips to the park to find it just sitting there next to a tree. Quote Link to comment

I've found all of these but be careful. I have also found a fake frog, but it jumped. I found a fake mouse, but it twitched it's nose (today) and I've even found fake poop (yuck) that wasn't . And as for those sprinkler heads - most of them are real Quote Link to comment
+GPSTrucker Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Making mental note to poke fake critters and poop piles with a stick first. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Considering the local cow chip events I don't think fake poop is a requirement for hiding a cache. Quote Link to comment
+Trucker Lee Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I've found a fake sprinkler head, what looked like poop turned out to be rubber sheet, and one nearby cache is a film can stuffed into the mouth of a rubber frog. Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Hmm... Having evil thoughts. I almost stepped in bear poop three times yesterday. Now, bear poop is a lot larger than dog poop. Could fit something larger than a micro in fake bear poop! Maybe even a small Lock and Lock! But, I'd probably have to make an impression of a pile of poop, and match that strange purple/brown color. But this might be a fun project! Hee hee hee! Quote Link to comment
+Sileny Jizda Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Our hides are the standard norm I spose. Haven't used fake poop yet though. Quote Link to comment

+fauxSteve Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I've found fake poop that was a cache and real poop that wasn't. In some areas I've cached, fake human poop would be better camo than fake dog poop. I've also found a small tupperware geo-container wrapped up tightly in a black plastic bag tossed in the shrubbery. I assumed it was dog poop until I finally got the nerve up to open the bag. Finally, while I've found a few fake sprinkler heads, most were the real thing. Quote Link to comment
+mudsneaker Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 One thing to note about sprinker heads. They are not easy to dig up and fix when cachers twist them loose trying to find a cache inside. I now make sure if a hide of mine is tough to find and near sprinklers to mention its NOT in a sprinkler. I wish others would note that as well. I've hunted for several and found sprinklers obviously unscrewed from the tubing in the ground. And odds are it was cachers on the hunt. Once unscrewed dirt gets inside causing issues. Just wanted to share the info. Cache on! Quote Link to comment
