+Stormstaff Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Actually, my 6-yr old spotted it which makes me even more excited, hehe We found Our first find I hope it's ok to link it like that. I think he's........we're hooked, We took a patch that was there and a glowstick, we left a notebook and a space blanket. I hope that was a fair trade. Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Whooo! Hoo! Welcome to the addiction! Sounds like a very fair trade. I'm sure the next finders will be very happy to see what you left. I hope they trade just as well. Quote Link to comment

Dick from IA Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) Congrats to you and your son on your first cache find, Stormstaff. I'm a newbie still considering whether or not to get into the hobby. Posts like yours have convinced me I'm gonna do it. Just have to chose which GPSr and get it ordered.

+Stormstaff Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Well, I'm a "gadgety guy" (like my made up word?) even though I don't always understand all the features of my toys, LOL I bought the Garmin 60CSx and absolutely LOVE it!! Kinda expensive for a first buy, but it had TONS of features that I think I'll want and use.....once I figure them all out Quote Link to comment
+OverTheEdge Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Congrats on your first find! I was well over 200 finds before I found the forum... I made a lot of rookie mistakes along the way. Quote Link to comment

Got coords loaded into it & now waiting for rain to quit. My plan is Basic Training with this thing and then decide which upper model to get. Quote Link to comment
+Stormstaff Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 $35!!! I may have to check my local Wally World. I'd spend $35 on one for my son to mess with and he's only 6. Heck, after a day or two, he'd probably be teaching me things, LOL Quote Link to comment
