What is the most popular GC in the world?

[+Menehune2]

I'm sure some of you know this answer so I figured this was the place to look. The question is which Geocache has the record for the most finds. I wan't to add it to my life list. If the question has'nt already been discussed it should be fun to see what the canidates are.

If I had to guess I'd say the Original Stash Plaque

 

We met another cacher there! and then when I got home a week or two later, I saw there had been maybe 20 logs since we'd been there!

...and the submission from over this side of the Pond...

 

The most visited traditional cache box-that-you-can-put-actually-put-stuff-into-and-do-swaps in the U.K. is "Last Delivery" GCGBGB in London, with 1196 Finds. (1555 Visits)

 

The most visited micro in U.K. is "St Etheldreda's" GC4201, also in central London.

Good question.

 

Some of the DC virtuals?

 

e.g. I can see Lincoln GC2657, 2081 finds (2102 visits)

LAKE-VEGAS GC4E95

 

This is a Virtual Cache in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. At last look it had 3097 finds.

Judging from the number of emails I've gotten since adding the virtual Four Windows to my watchlist, I'm betting that one is the most logged/least visited cache in the world.

One cacher has put together a bookmark list of the most found traditional caches by state and country (no virtuals).

I was surprised when one of my own made it onto the list.

I know that the Project A.P.E. cache in Washington state -GC1169 Mission 9: Tunnel of Light has 1321 finds at this moment.

 

I'll bet that after GeoWoodstock VIII next year it will jump up quite a bit.

I found that one back in May '03. Good cache.

Well researching a little more it looks like Germany is in the lead with 1641 finds for GCTA4W Marx-Engels-Forum At Alexander platz in Berlin.

If you include virtuals then the Las Vegas cache above has the edge with 3097 finds.

 

I guess there should be two titles then.

My mistake the original cache plaque GCGV0P has 2407 finds.

Here's a virtual with over 3800 "found it" logs though many of those are armchair cachers:

 

What in the World : GC6D43

but it's hard to imagine a cache with more "Finds" than the cache mentioned earlier with over 9000 finds.

 

Four Windows : GCF55A

Oh, goodness, I had assumed that Four Windows was archived years ago.
