GOF and Bacall Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Haha. If I want to give (local FTF hound) a gift I'll just hand it to him. Quote Link to comment
+Casting Crowns Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 If you're able to invest some money into a FTF prize, that's great. I like handmade items myself. You're not obligated to leave something "valuable". I cherished a ping pong paddle that a cacher had put the "Dharma Initiative" symbol on as an FTF prize in his ammo cans series dedicated to the TV show "Lost". Another was a laminated door hanger that said, "Do Not Disturb.....We're watching "Lost" with a picture of the show and another pic of a hand with the words "Not Penny's Boat" which is relevant to the show. Nothing spectacular but unique and appreciated. Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I generally put bear traps out in front of my new hides for the first 24 hours. Quote Link to comment

knowschad Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 What is an FTF? I've searched all over this site and have yet to find an official explaination. Quote Link to comment

Search as you will there is no "official" explanation. FTF is not something recognized "officially" by Groundspeak. How was that? Did I pass the test? Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) Haha. If I want to give (local FTF hound) a gift I'll just hand it to him. You mean you'll do it Face To Face? What is an FTF? I've searched all over this site and have yet to find an official explaination. You obviously are not searching hard enough. http://support.Groundspeak.com/Support/ind...kbarticleid=335 While not an official explanation, it is obviously something Groundspeak acknowledges exists.

KnowsChad was obviously being fecetious after getting his "read the FAQ (and don't post anything else in this thread)" thread closed. Quote Link to comment

+loflyinjett Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I recently put a bicentinial quarter and Elvis stamp in a micro I hid,It has yet to be found...Im guessing the value is around a buck or so,Unless that person is an Elvis fan. Quote Link to comment
+Allanon Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 What are some other things you can put in for a FTF? A blank log book. Nothing else is needed. Quote Link to comment
+bittsen Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 What are some other things you can put in for a FTF? Around these parts there is a FTF hound that is also a cutthroat FTFer. If you add a prize, you might as well just send it to him in the mail. Rumor has it that he's done a few despicable things but that is just a rumor. Quote Link to comment

My first FTF included a FTF prize that was a Montana GeoCoin. The cache name was "Montana Memories" and included all kinds of neat swag that all had to do with Montana. The CO had recently moved to the area from Montana so he placed the "Montana" cache. It was my most exciting find. Not only because it was my first FTF but because of the thought that had been put into it. Quote Link to comment
