+Tschakko Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) How do u define homemade cache? Edited October 1, 2008 by Tschakko Quote Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Except Tschakko's question....I have some question too! you want caches we made caches we found or if we find cache photos that are strange in a way, to send you photos?? An other question is, how many times can we send emails? I mean...in case I find 10 different cache phtos, I can send you 10 emails, or there is a limit for every cacher, like one post per cacher???

I preefer you send foto of caches you have made, but that i can not control. You can send as many mail you want, but chances to win is equal if you send 1 with 10 photos. Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 LOL! These are geocoin people... a lot of people in here have never placed a cache, let alone made one. Do event caches count? Homemade event cache stuff: Secret Agent event, July 2006 Pirates of Harriman Treasure maps, October 2006 Tiki Stomp Party, April 2008 Joker's Wild Picnic, April 2005 Murder Mystery: Tourne Asunder!

+ElliPirelli Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Send you some pictures of a cache of mine out in the wild. Great idea to send mails, wouldn't want to spoil my own cache. But on the other hand, the chance of local cachers reading in the coinrelated part of the forum is pretty slim... Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed! ElliPirelli Quote Link to comment

+ElliPirelli Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 As anyone loves seeing pictures, and hopefully noone from my area is checking this thread: Here it goes. The nest is made out of willow, rough basket with twine and gras and moss. The egg is a hen size plastik egg. I saw a hole in it to put in a Bison Capsula with logbook. Actually the nesting box is placed out in the wild as well. Quote Link to comment

+Team Olsson Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 I got many new ideas, but there have been some problem with mailserver so those who have recieved mail in return can try too send new. There is still room for more pictures. Quote Link to comment
+derschlings Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Here are some photos of a cache I hid, Plumber's Dream GC1339R. It is a 2 stage Multi. The first stage is a bison tube hidden at the base of a large water tower/reservoir. Inside the first stage are the coords for the final stage (a couple blocks away) along with a hint: the library's cataloging number for the book/cache.... so even if the gps doesn't work so well inside, the cache is still able to be found just by looking for the right catalog number. The container itself is just an old book I had laying around. I used an exacto razor blade knife to cut out the center of the book, used rubber cement to seal up the page edges on the inside. I got permission from the librarian to hide the cache and made sure all the ladies who work in the library are aware of its presence so it doesn't go missing. (Three different kids have tried to "check out" the "book"). Quote Link to comment
+ElliPirelli Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Whoa, derschlings, that's so cool! I've heard of a similar cache in Hamburg, Germany. There it's listed as a mystery... I love to hear, that there are kids, who try to check out a book, they didn't even open for peak... "I'm sorry, dear, you can't check out this book, it doesn't exist in the inventory. Try find another one..." Quote Link to comment
