What is the yuckiest thing you have had to remove from your cache?

I went to check out a cache that I had adopted and someone put an unused tampon in the trade items. I have removed things like lighters and dog treats from caches also.

Old moldy soaking wet paper I guess would have to be my yuckiest, unless I have blocked out more tramatic experiences. I have heard of people finding poo in caches... :laughing:

I know of a cache owner who's had to deal with poo in one of their ammo cans. Hate to be the person who opened it after the evil dooers did the deed. :laughing:

 

A local caching friend reported finding what they believed to be urine in the first stage of one of my multis. Believe it or not the first stage is a film can. Why would anyone even think to do that?

I used to get that Bubble Goo in my Ammo Cans. That stuff kids blow bubbles with...the containers would freeze and break the plastic bottle when it got cold...then leak out as it warmed.

I really don't know what it was, it was red and sticky and there was a lot of it. Covered the bottom of the ammo can about 1/4". Maybe some kind of candy? No idea, I dumped the can out, tossed the contents, and sprayed it out with hot water.

I've found tampons many times in my caches. At first I considered removing them, then thought that heck, maybe they could come in handy for someone.

 

I found this site recently

 

"How to make a basic first aid kit for your home."

 

"Tampons - Useful for stemming blood-flow from puncture wounds (animal bites) and if cut in half are extremely effective for relieving epistaxis (nosebleed)."

it wasnt in a cache but it was very close to a cache that i found a dead bird!!

I have found a dead squirrel near a cache too, in fact I almost stepped on it before I saw it.

Go check out the last couple logs on this cache:

Sadly the owner may want to put on some good heavy rubber gloves and make absolute sure the trackables aren't in there. If someone hates geocachers that much they may have left the trackables and defecated on them as well.

 

Uh, nope. If that was my cache, then those trackables are gone. I am NOT digging through feces to find a TB (and maybe get TB!), then have clean and sterilize it and HOPE I did a good job before releasing it back into the wild. Too unsanitary, that whole cashe is going in a dumpster.

Someone took a dump in a cache near my place. Luckily I didn't find the cache, I just read it in the log. Nasty people out there man.

Funny story related to this thread from today:

 

We are working on an "anti-micro" challenge put forth by a local cacher, and thus we had some lovely hikes in the woods today to search for some great small and regular sized caches.

 

One of them was GC1BYRB, which is hidden in an old boot. (Not a spoiler, it's mentioned on the cache page). I pulled the container out of the boot, and saw a BIG BROWN SLIMY thing stuck to the cache.

 

My brain immediately thought of this thread (which I had just finished reading this morning before we left), and I shrieked and dropped the container thinking I had just found a cache that had been poo'ed in.

 

I realized that there was no poo attached to the cache, but it was a great big slug!!! Hubby and I had a great laugh about this one.

 

Edited to include the picture of the slug:

Welcome to our world, and that's just a bitty little one :(

I once had a non-cacher fill an ammo can with dirt and leave a graphically obscene note. It could have been worse, except that I had spent a substantial amount of money on the cache contents.

Yep, we moved here from Denver in January. They don't make slugs like them in Denver... that's for sure.

We've only been at this a month so not much yucky stuff so far. We did find a condom (still wrapped thank goodness) in one of the caches. Oh and recently i found some chocolate in one. Luckily it was still cold out so it hadn't melted yet...(no ants on it either...ugh)

Had I been the unlucky finder of such a surprise I would have dumpsterized it for the owner. I would not leave that for anyone else to find. If the cache owner was upset by that I'd offer to replace it, but no way the next cacher to come along would find it in that condition.

Mine are usually far enough off the beaten trail that the types of folks willing to dump icky stuff won't seek them out.

That being said, I have had a couple ammo cans ruined by some mook leaving bubble juice as swag.

That carp gets over everything. :laughing:
