+briansnat Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 A few months ago I placed a cache next to a monument that commemorates a Revolutionary War encampment. Take a look at the random GC # that was assigned to the cache. Pretty cool! Quote
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 No Way...There are little micro trolls in the GC.Com servers that wait for certain events, and then give it the appropriate name. Quote
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Of course one of the Numbers Crunchers will come back soon and actually tell you what the chances are. The chances could be vastly improved if one were watching the events at the site, and waited until just the right moment to submit a cache. But anyway around, it's a longshot. Quote
+KidRipley Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Of course one of the Numbers Crunchers will come back soon and actually tell you what the chances are. . 3720 to 1.......... Oh no wait, that's the chances of succesfully navigating and asteroid field, nevermind LOL Quote

+Isonzo Karst Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Some friends of mine have a GC# that's their caching name! Quote

+bflentje Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I remembering reading about controversy related to GCXX. No, no porn involved, but maybe a relationship to Dos Equis beer. Quote
+Harry Dolphin Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 GCXRAY was a First Aid Box, and the background picture is an x-ray picture of a hand... Quote
+Lacomo Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 That's cool briansnat. I just checked all my caches and nothing close. Unless you want to count the one where the last 2 letters are my initials...lol Quote
+Bad Duck Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I have a cache on superstition and it has a 13 in the gc# and on a poo cache it has BM in the cache name. Quote
+SassyGingerNinja Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Wow! That is really cool - that cache is going to have good karma! Quote
+Team Black-Cat Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) Of course one of the Numbers Crunchers will come back soon and actually tell you what the chances are. The chances could be vastly improved if one were watching the events at the site, and waited until just the right moment to submit a cache. But anyway around, it's a longshot. Right now, the odds are exactly 100%. Edited March 4, 2008 by Team Black-Cat Quote

+TrailGators Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I have a cache on superstition and it has a 13 in the gc# and on a poo cache it has BM in the cache name. What is a Poo cache? A cache that looks like poo. Quote

Take a look at the random GC # that was assigned to the cache. Pretty cool! That is amazing! The only cache-number-coincidence I experienced with one of my caches was a Puzzle cache I created. Now, when it comes to figuring out Puzzles, I am hopeless. I just can't do it. Around here, the most brilliant "Puzzle Person" was TucsonThompsen, or TT for short, a guy whose brilliance and creativity I envy. My Puzzle Cache was GCTTNV . . .

Tahosa and Sons Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 So no we really know what happens when you give Signal a kiss on the cheek. Was it a random act of kindess or what. Quote
+1NatureMom Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 That's Cool! This one is the coolest though, Check out this one : - MoHo's Wedding Surprised he hasnt rang in here yet Quote
+OzGuff Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 I have a puzzle cache that uses the severed heads from old golf clubs which are hidden along a forest service road. The cache is called Mashie Niblick and has the GCID of GC15PGA. Quote
+TheCollector Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Suspicious Minds (re-release) The funny thing about it is the song was recorded in 1969 Quote
+wimseyguy Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 That's very cool. I wonder how many other appropriate combos are out there. I'm surprised no one hasn't already linked to GCGEEK. It's an old honeychile puzzle cache that required some investigative learning about keys and locks. It also (unintentionally I think) references a well know (in these parts) lab coat wearing gentleman. Quote
+Vinny & Sue Team Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Huh. Thats pretty cool! And, also very recently, and also in NJ, le mat/4wheelin_fool published a conspiracy theory-related National treasure-type cache called _?_____________?_ and the GC number turned out to be GCZZZR. What are the odds that such a cache could get a GC waypoint number containing the string "ZZZ"? Quote
+mtn-man Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 It also (unintentionally I think) references a well know (in these parts) lab coat wearing gentleman. Bill Nye the Science Guy? Quote
+Mopar Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) That's Cool! This one is the coolest though, Check out this one : - MoHo's Wedding Surprised he hasnt rang in here yet That's because GCM0H0 wasn't pure chance. We made a huge effort to time the cache submission just right to get it, and actually failed and missed it by a few caches. Luckily, we were able to "swap" cache pages with the person who did get it. Basically we adopted his GCM0H0 cache and he adopted ours. The fact that Brian's was just sheer luck is very cool. I assume he hid the cache first and just got really lucky with the GC#. I've seen a few caches with really cool sounding GC#s and the cache was just a plain jane geocache. I always wondered why the owners who lucked out on the cool GC#s didn't play it up.

+TeamGumbo Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I just published my very first cache, GC1A00Q (not yet reviewed). 1, A, and a Q (it's a puzzle cache). Weird! Quote
+gvsu4msu Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I did one by an electrical engineer relating to computer number counting. He is a degreed electrical engineer (Double E) as know in the trade. here is cache page GC18XEE He in now way planned it but liked it when i pointed it out. He was hoping he could do relate it to binary but double E works. Quote
+Keruso Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 ive found one that has a GCID of 10PYN, the cache is called Pine Tree Cache. theres more than 10 pines where this micros hidden Quote

+doingitoldschool Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) Reading through these has caused me to wonder...has the reverse ever happened? A cache that got an unintentional but inappropriate callsign, like a cache on church property getting GC666? Edited March 11, 2008 by doingitoldschool Quote
