The Ecorangers are the midwest machines. They have 2 young kids and nearly 14,000 finds

[+Vinny & Sue Team]

The cachers with the greatest number of finds seem to be CCCooperAgency, Team Alamo and Ventura Kids (of three named; he posts sometimes on these forums). The funny thing about Lynn, CCCooperAgency (aka CCCA) is that she does not go just for the quick and easy or cheap-and-dirty finds. I have known her to spend the better part of a day finding just a few of our extreme 5/5 Psycho Urban Caches, to go for long hikes in the forest here to seek our Psycho Backcountry Caches, and to spend a whole day with a team of other cachers in an attempt to score a find on our EXTREME 5/5 Psycho Urban Cache #13 -- Impossible - Give Up Now! She recently spent over four hours in a tree in Eastern PA looking for an elusive Difficulty 4+ tiny bison tube hanging in the tree; by the time she was done, the locals had called the TV news crews, who filmed her antics, and a half-dozen friendly muggles had joined her to help her in the hunt. On the other hand, she regularly finds from 40 to 90 caches in a day on many days. My wife Sue goes caching with her sometimes; they start well before sunrise, using a caching trip itinerary prepared by Lynn's husband, and they usually return here at midnight, about 18 hours later, having found from 28 to 90 caches along the way. Bizarre, and certainly not my style of caching, but more power to them! I also know cachers who know Team Alamo and Ventura Kids and who have cached with them, and they unfailingly have only very good things to say about these two high-numbers cachers as well.

[knowschad]

I don't know anything about Team Alamo aside from what I've read here, but I must say that CCCooperAgency (Lynn) is a real class act. I met her her in Minnesota once (she was out caching with King Boreas, the one with most hides), and when I recently found myself taking a business trip to her stomping grounds, I emailed her, asking about her hides and others in the area, and she was just the greatest, most gracious host you could imagine. From what I understand, she is drastically cutting back on her caching in an attempt to find a better balance between caching and family. I suspect that if she hadn't made that decision, that Team Alamo would still be eating her dust, but I think that it was a wise decision.

[+Driver Carries Cache]

Team Alamo just celebrated 25,000 finds by throwing a big event for all us local cachers that centered around the cache that was his first find. It was pretty amazing to be out in the hills (which were swarming in cachers!) and finding six brand new caches as well as the long time hides in the Bishop Ranch open space. I think since the event (last Nov.) he's found another thousand or so. !

While this is true, you have to realize that the total number of caches does not include those that have been archived.

The largest number of caches really does not mean anything.

If you go back to the early years of geocaching a cacher may have spent several weeks finding 100 caches, now it can be done in one day and in some areas.

If there number of active caches was the same now as it was 4 or 5 years ago the number of caches found in one day might be meaningfull. But because of cache density it really does not mean anything.

 

When I got started finding 100 caches would mean something, now finding 1000 is like finding 100 4 years ago.

With all the drive up caches that are now active it would be hare not to find a high number of caches.

 

There is not a lot of skilled in finding lots of caches, it just takes time

I do remenber the old threads re ccccooper

I also remember that ccccooper was in the habit of logging mulitple finds on the same events. This goes to the practice temp. caches being placed less than .10 miles apart at event so that cachers could run their numbers up with permission to log the event more than one time. This is done to avoid the guidline re. cache density.

 

I even looked up CCCCs profile at the time and I saw the multiple logs on the same events.

 

I have seen other cachers place their own contianers when they could not find a cache

 

I had one ultra high nember cacher do this on one of my caches, I deleted the find.

 

High number do not mean anything. They just mean some cachers are creative in how they find caches and log finds.

Whatever Team Alamo's current cache found count is.

[+Cav Scout]

I salute those of you with high number of finds. I often cache alone or with my dog. Sometimes I can find about 40-50 caches in one day, and even then that requires a lot of stops and go's from the Jeep, and then I have the caches that take time to find, forgot my pen, muggles in the way, opening the cache, put the cache back etc, with all of that it can be exhausting. I find it incredible how these geocachers get such numbers. Eventually I'm sure they found all of the caches around where they live and will have to drive 50 plus miles each geocaching trip to keep the numbers high. On CCCoopers profile it shows they was in four different states in a week period. Wow what dedication. How do they do it?

[+Vinny & Sue Team]

And, for me, well, while CCCA and some other high-numbers cachers are geo-friends of mine, I take great pride in the fact that I tend to hunt only from one to five caches per month, hunting only caches which I have carefully selected, and primarily high-Terrain caches. This is what makes me happy! I could NEVER imagine wanting to find more than seven caches in a day, and even that would be a peak day!

I've read enough of her logs to know that she doesn't hold back when there is something about the cache to write about. I suspect that there was nothing that set any of those caches apart from all the others that she has found. We all do it. I don't have nearly as many finds as she does but even I have a standard phrase that I use on, well, standard caches. I would imagine that with the number of caches she has under her belt that it would take really spectacular cache and/or location to get more than a cut and paste log from her. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't keep trying.

I even looked up CCCCs profile at the time and I saw the multiple logs on the same events.

 

I have seen other cachers place their own contianers when they could not find a cache

 

I had one ultra high nember cacher do this on one of my caches, I deleted the find.

 

High number do not mean anything. They just mean some cachers are creative in how they find caches and log finds.

 

CCC was famous for logging finds on her own caches when cache owners would delete her "got to the trailhead finds."

 

"#1" has mastered the art of lame "cut and paste" logs. Back in 06 I received about 50 repeats of this jewel, "First day of a 9-day cache-a-thon with dgreno in Southern CA. Thanks for the cache." I heard he uses some sort of software to log all of his caches for him. Who has time to write original logs when there are so many caches to be found.

 

I've read enough of her logs to know that she doesn't hold back when there is something about the cache to write about. I suspect that there was nothing that set any of those caches apart from all the others that she has found. We all do it. I don't have nearly as many finds as she does but even I have a standard phrase that I use on, well, standard caches. I would imagine that with the number of caches she has under her belt that it would take really spectacular cache and/or location to get more than a cut and paste log from her. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't keep trying.

 

Actually, Kit was talking about team Alamo. But the few times CCCA has blown through my area (I think she's only found 2 or 3 of my caches), and I've seen a ton of her logs in Pa. and N.J., I believe she generally goes out of her way to write something specific about the caches. There certainly isn't any software logging the caches for her.

 

[EDIT] Whoops, I see Kit already told you he was talking about TA. But I'll keep the statement about CCCA not being a major cut-and-paste artist.

I do remenber the old threads re ccccooper

I also remember that ccccooper was in the habit of logging mulitple finds on the same events. This goes to the practice temp. caches being placed less than .10 miles apart at event so that cachers could run their numbers up with permission to log the event more than one time. This is done to avoid the guidline re. cache density.

CCCA has found a number of our caches... always a personal log...

not something copied & pasted...

I have also written them e-mails, gotten a quick, polite, helpful response and they have helped me move along a TB that had a specific date to get to a particular Pa. cache...

 

I have met some cachers that have done close to 2000 caches in their first year of caching...

 

off the top of my head... macatac62 did 1300+ in his first 365 days...

 

The OP asked a simple question...

I do not think it was intended to be a bashing thread for everyone to bring down the top #'s people...
