+Zac Young Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 How exactly do you know when new caches are out? I really want to be a FTF, but how do I know os I can go right out. I get e-mails weekly, but I just hid a cache and someone found it the next morning, hours after it was published, so the e-mail might not be quite enough. What do you advise? Quote Link to comment
+OwlCacher Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Premium members can get an email notification of publishing pretty much right when it happens. If you do not want to pay, all you can do is constantly keep checking the cache pages closest to your home, looking for the "new" sign. Quote Link to comment
+softball29 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I happened to see one when it got published one day and got a FTF. I won't race to get one again though, as I just basically wanted to know I got one FTF in this crazy game. From here on out, if I get one, cool. if not, so be it. That being said, I'm a paid member, so I think I got the e-mail pretty fast. I didn't rush down, but went a few hours later and grabbed the cache. Quote Link to comment
+The Pathman Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) We got our FTF on a cache that had been planted a week earlier.... There's just not A lot of people around here that worry about being first. There's another new one that we will go after in a few days. It might be a FTF or not Edited March 30, 2008 by The Methow Finders Quote Link to comment
+Zac Young Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 Yah, I'm really considering trying the Premium Memebrship for a Month, see what it's like. Quote Link to comment

+gof1 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 On your "My Account" page, top right, find a button marked "List Newest In (State Name). Click on it every so often. It lists the newest caches in (are you ready for this?) your state. If you check back often enough you'll know about new caches as fast as anyone. Much easier to become a premium member and get all the rest of the benefits. Quote Link to comment
+PhxChem Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 but I just hid a cache and someone found it the next morning What took them so long? The deeper you get into Geocaching, the easier it is with things like, Pocket Queries and notifications of new caches. And for FTF's (if that's yor game) it's almost a must. Quote Link to comment
