+Tscrapper Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I had a cache on my GPS but it is not listed on the webpages anymore but I found it safe and sound. How do we find one that are not listed anymore? not sure where to ask this. Quote Link to comment
+paleolith Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 If you have the GCxxxx code (possibly in your GPSr), search by that. If the cache has been archived, most normal searches will not find it, but a code search will find it. If you don't have the code, you may be able to identify it in the find lists of cachers who found nearby caches. Edward Quote Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 If all you have is the coords, email your friendly neighborhood reviewer and ask him what cache used to be listed there. Maybe she'll un-archive it. Quote Link to comment
+J-Way Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 If all you have is the coords, email your friendly neighborhood reviewer and ask him what cache used to be listed there. Maybe she'll un-archive it. This is very doubful. But your reviewer can provide the waypoint code, and using that you can find the cache page and log it (yes, you can still log an archived cache). Also, although the cache was archived here it may be listed on an alternate site. What are the coordinates? Quote Link to comment
+Tscrapper Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Thanks for all the help I found it listed on a previous finders log and added it. the cache was archived on the 1st and we found it on the 4th Quote Link to comment
+hikemeister Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'll tell you an interesting related story. Last year one of the older local caches, owned by a geocacher who once attended University of Florida, was archived after several local cachers, including myself, looked for it and thought it was gone (we all had previously found it). I contacted the cache owner and asked if she was OK with me placing a new cache very close to that site. Affirmative and cache placed. Last month a guy emailed me indicating that my cache was full of water and that the brown paint was almost entirely gone so that the bright blue lid now was visible. My cache was a black micro tied up in a tree. He had found Abby's old cache. I emailed her and let her know and we agreed to trash the old one and keep my new one active. Strange things can happen! I guess this REALLY confirms the notion that if can't find it, it may not be missing! Quote Link to comment
