GreenLantern5000 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) I think my record is 3 (when I've only got 8 or so, 3's not bad!!!!)......... But there's gotta be some friends on here who have way more finds than that in a day!!!!! I've got a geocaching day set up w/ fome friends and we're gonna try to find enough caches w/ difficulty/terrain ratings to get to 100!!!!!!!!!!

+Snoogans Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Near 40, but mostly in 3 to 5 star terrain in the Osceola Swamp in Florida. One of the best days cachin' I ever had. Quote Link to comment
+J-Way Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 My personal best is 27 (Geowoodstock VII day) covering 10 different icons. Second best for me is 13 caches in a day. The generally accepted "record" is 300+. About 314 or so. This was done by a team of people with dedicated drivers, navigators, searchers and signers. They spent weeks planning and researching the fastest route. They used locals to pre-confirm that the caches were still there (no "pre-finding"). They all stayed together within reason (no splitting up to find multiple caches at the same time). They video-taped it for proof. Yet still lots of people call them liars. Personally, I remember all 27 caches found on my best day. I doubt the record holders can say the same. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I think if those caches are rated correcty, it would be nearly impossible to accomplish. The cache that has a combined 10 star difficulty (i.e. 5/5)should take up the entire day (or more) all by itself. The two caches with the combined 7 star and 7.5 ratings should likely take up the whole day between both of them. That is if they are rated correctly. Quote Link to comment

knowschad Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 My high find days have been when caching with Bobcam: Most finds in a day: 63 on 5/11/2008; 45 on 10/25/2008; 45 on 2/14/2009 When caching on my own, 20-30 something is much more typical, and since a recent bout of foot problems, often less than that.

GOF and Bacall Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 How many finds in one day? Heck, I don't even know how many finds I have total. Without mapping out those caches and figuring the routs and all I'd say it is probably doable. Some have reported doing hundreds in a day. Doesn't sound like fun to me but hey, I wasn't with 'em. What ever makes 'em happy. Quote Link to comment

Another of my record days, I remember at the end of the day, feeling like I had been in a watermelon eating contest and that I'd puke if I took just one more bite. I actually did stop for one more cache as I was heading home, saw the boulder that it would have been behind, but didn't even look. I turned and walked back to the car.

+StarBrand Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 My best day ever was 20. All along a 35 mile stretch of area in mid-Nebraska. I found them all in about a 6 hour time period with an hour off for lunch. I didn't set out to do that, My goal had been just 4 of them along the way. Most were regular sized with terrain 2 or 3 and difficulty 1 or 2. Best multi-state day was 15 caches across 3 states Nevada, through Utah into Wyoming. About 520 miles of driving.

+J-Way Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I forgot about the most states part of the question; four for me. I left Clemson, SC, and drove through Georgia and North Carolina on my way back to Tennessee once. And I've driven to southern Mississippi (TN-GA-AL-MS) and found a cache in each state a few times. And in response to knowschad's watermelon eating reference: I felt that way once when I first started and had a goal of finding a cache a day for as long as I could. I believe I made 6 days. On the 7th day I pulled into the parking lot, decided that I just couldn't face the underside of another light post anchor bolt cover, and drove home. That run almost made me stop caching.

+Harry Dolphin Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Most finds in one day? 30. Three of us helping my sister with the Maine deLorme Challenge. Couldn't get my brother to stop! Most states in one day? Three, I think. Several times. Most recently: New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland. Virginia, North Carlina, Tennessee. & Virginia, Kentucky, West Virginia. All on one trip. Did 87 caches and 11 states in 8 days. Quote Link to comment
+Cpl. Klinger Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Most in one day for me was 15, including 2 in 2 different states on a run through southern Indiana. Would have done more, but we both weren't in the greatest of moods that day and called it early for dinner. Good choice, actually. Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Best multi-state day was 15 caches across 3 states Nevada, through Utah into Wyoming. About 520 miles of driving. I didn't see the "most-states" part of the question, but that would be South Dakota, Wyoming, and Nebraska last fall, and several of those were StartBrand's caches. I don't remember how many in South Dakota that day because I've cached there several times, but my "states cached in" map shows that I hit 12 in Wyoming and 25 in Nebraska that day.

+Snoogans Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Taking the loooong way home, Moosiegirl and I did North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio (side jog 5 miles), Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and ended up in Mississippi the day after GW5. Roughly 20 hours driving. We only did a couple caches in each state to make it home on time. Quote Link to comment
+4boehms Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 When I cache with my kids, they're ready to quit after the second one and get downright surly if I take them to a third. On my own, my "best" day was a dozen found with one DNF. I really enjoyed the day, as it was snowing a blizzard in June, and there was something kind of bizarre about being outdoors on a day like that. I covered probably 100 miles of ground, all things considered. It was fun. But by the end of the day I felt like I was able to predict where the containers would be just from looking at the general area, and all the cache contents were looking alike. I decided that day that geocaching was not a numbers game for me. Quote Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 For states, it is four for me. KS, NE, MO and AR before going to GW in Texas. I found 100 in one day, my 11 hour and 6 minutes run. I just wanted to know how long it would take me to find 100 caches. I had a great time spending the day with JoGPS. He was nice enough to drive me around and at the end of the day he took me to a couple of special fun caches (included in the time and quantity above). I'll never forget it. Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Well, the only stats I can "brag" about is longest distance between caches in a single day (according to GSAK) - 8466 miles, thanks to the International Date Line. Edited July 17, 2009 by Chrysalides Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Found over 100 in a day several times. Friend of chad is correct in that the true fun on days like this is the camaraderie, laughter, and shared experience. It's hard to find too many really memorable caches on those day, but we usually end up with 2-3 out of the bunch. Most states in a day is also four. I was headed to a gathering in Nashville. I stopped on the way to the airport to find one here in NC, found a few near the airport there, then jumped on I 65 for a quick dash into KY for a few and then a reversal south on the interstate to find some in AL. Then I joined my friends there for dinner and drinks. Quote Link to comment
+PirateKatz Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I think I've found a total of 25 total in the past two years (I'm a fair weather 'cacher)... Though, I have to say that for me it's the journey to the cache that's the real appeal to me. I like exploring new areas, hiking off the beaten path, etc. It doesn't seem like finding 30+ in the day would be terribly enjoyable. Quote Link to comment
+Steve&GeoCarolyn Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Another of my record days, I remember at the end of the day, feeling like I had been in a watermelon eating contest and that I'd puke if I took just one more bite.

While those that choose to concentrate on the numbers are welcome to do so it makes no sense to me. We're of the same mind. Our worst day geocaching saw our highest number of caches (8). We both ended up with sick headaches from the gas fumes (most of the caches were in gas stations) and being in the car too much. Then my head exploded when I tried to remember the details well enough to log all of them. That experience taught us that we would never be high number cachers. We have a personal limit of no more than 5 in a day and prefer to hover around 2-3, preferably in nice hiking areas or beautiful nature preserves with boardwalks over the swamp. Found over 100 in a day several times. Friend of chad is correct in that the true fun on days like this is the camaraderie, laughter, and shared experience. I think that is why the experience doesn't appeal to us as much as it does to other people. We are mostly loners who enjoy the experience of being quietly alone together outdoors. I don't want to sound like some sort of people-hating curmudgeon (I'm not), but getting away from people for a while is one of the things I like about geocaching. That said, I'm glad that other people find camaraderie, laughter, and joy doing numbers runs. It's just not for us. Carolyn Quote Link to comment
+solo63137 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 For me it depends on alot of things... How much time do I have, how far apart are they, etc.. I normally like to find about 3-5 a day or trip out... But that depends on how much time I have and how far apart they are... I mean if you end up hitting a park or trail that is a cache rich enviorment, I could see rack'em up if your on a roll... But I really like the hikes looking for these take me on... For several reasons, I like the outdoor sceenery and Honestly, I'm lazy... Finding the cache gets me motivated to keep walking, where as I would not otherwise.... Quote Link to comment
+Arrow42 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 So far my best day was actually yesterday. 12 caches during a drive from LA to Sacramento. Made the long drive that much more bearable, but it extended the time on the road by 40%. Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 My highest daily find total is 33. I had to travel across country to do it and spend more time geocaching in one day that I'd ever done before and since. My next best is 22(within 30 miles of home) when I had "most" of the day free to go geocaching. My daily average, after 850 finds over 2.5 years is 3.5 finds a day. I've found caches in three different states in one day (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont). I have found caches in 17 different states, six different countries, and three different continents. I'll probably and two more countries (France and Peru) and another Continent near the end of the year. Quote Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I and my compatriots easily found over 100 caches in one day here in Arizona (much less than 24 hours, since we weren't going for any record). Probably the most states I've cached in on the same day is two (OR/WA, and PA/NY). Quote Link to comment
+Hrethgir Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Most I've found in 1 day was just earlier this month, found 14 caches, 7 of them out in the woods off of logging roads, and the other 7 in a park along a river. Covered 44 miles and about 9 hours, and had a great time, no DNFs and my first 2 FTFs, even! Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Man, many of you guys are making me feel like a real power cacher, even on my worst days! I suppose, as with many aspects of geocaching, its a regional thing. We have many cachers here with more than 5K finds, and a number of them with more than 10K (and one with over 2K hides, LOL!) , so I'm really no great shakes on the local scale, even with almost 3700 finds in about 5 years. One local cacher found more than that in his first year alone! Quote Link to comment

Yep. I agree. It's an interesting concept though but not as difficult as you might think. Most drive-ups are probably rate 1/1.5 for a total of 2.5 per cache. You'd only need 40 of those to hit a 100. On the other hand, achieving a total of 100 on terrain alone would require a string of 25 four star terrain caches or 33 three star terrain caches. That would be quite a challenge. Quote Link to comment

One local cacher found more than that in his first year alone! I guess it does help to live in a cache-rich area, Knowschad, as you do. I live in an area where there's only like 60 some caches within a 10 miles radius. It's that sparse. On my stats on my profile page, out of my 184 finds as of this post, I found 58 of those caches in that 10 mile radius. The rest of my finds were more than 10 miles away. So back on topic, 21 finds in a day is the most for me and all of those 21 finds was spread out around 30-40 miles radius in a rural area, so I spent a lot of time driving from cache to cache. So I thought those 21 finds were pretty good as it was done over about a 12 hour period. I estimate I spent about 3-4 hours driving that day As for states, MI & WI lots of times as I live on that border. Quote Link to comment

+DragonsWest Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I think my top is 8 or 9 in one day. Maybe that seems lame, but I've rarely gone out to only seek geocaches. I think I could do pretty well if I did, there are some rather *cough* congested *cough* areas near by, where I could score a dozen in a short hike, but I generally only target a handful each trip out. This is probably why I have only 198 finds in 6+ years, though my eTrex Vista conking out figured in there somewhere, too. I have picked up my rate this year and planted a few more caches. My first is at the end of a fairly strong hike, so sees about 4 visits a year. A couple placed nearby are racking up finds almost daily. Quote Link to comment
+Zolgar Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 ~8 I think. I pay no attention, and .. frankly, the only way I go for many urban micros is when I'm out on the bike caching. Most states in one day? 2. Quote Link to comment

+Rev Slippery Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 On fathers day last month, myself and 3 other "dads" got a day of caching gift from our wives and since it was the longest day of the year we decided to cache from dawn to dark. We planned our route and we found 128 during daylight. Most were about 100 meters or less from the car except for a series of 8 in a 4 km stretch hike. We packed food and water so we didn't have to stop to refuel. We started out at 4am and got home around midnight, we started about 100km from home. One of my best days caching ever.

Most states in a day: Four -- Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa.

+Puppy Dawg Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 My record is around 50...but it was totally accidental. We like hiking in the mountains about 50 miles away. Right below them there's a little town with 2K+ caches, and all the trails have caches every tenth of a mile. We've hit that fifty mark several times, but never planned on it. Someday I might do some urban caching there to get a 100 day...who knows. PS they have lots of good ones, and one 30-mile road where all the caches are above 3 on the difficulty end. Most states is 2. The states around here are big. Quote Link to comment

+solo63137 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I don't know about where you all are, but todays weather, You could not have asked for better.... Sadly, I was on call, and got called several times, so NO Geocaching for me.... Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 How about DNFs in a day? My personal best : 4 Oh, come on! That's way too easy. I did that today, without even trying. (31 finds, though) See, I think that a lot of people, especially those that are married, maybe have families, have other interests, lawns to mow, dinner to fix, stuff like that, have to really work it to get one or two hours of caching on a weekend. Some of us that don't have all those blessings (cough!) can get up at 5 a.m. and get back home at 7 p.m. and be up logging our finds util 10pm. I am fully aware that others have more blessings that I do. Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Oh, come on! That's way too easy. I did that today, without even trying. (31 finds, though) The 4 DNFs was during a short outing looking for 5 geocaches. I almost gave up geocaching that day Quote Link to comment
+DragonsWest Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I picked up 2 finds today and spawned my first puzzle cache =) Had 3 DNFs, all of which appear to have been muggled, according to the recent logs. =( Quote Link to comment
+mpconnick Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 35 in one day is my record, set today (7/18/09). I wasn't going for beating my previous daily record of 25; it just turned out that way. I was, however, trying to pick up some additional counties in my quest to get all 83 counties in Michigan during my first summer of caching. Got 7 counties today, but had hoped for 9. That brings my total to 34 counties in just under 2 months. Also, just passed the 300 cache mark today and ended with 317. So, it was a good day for caching. As far as states go, I'm purposely focusing on Michigan until I achieve certain goals in my home state first. Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 My record for DNFs is 5 DNFs, 1 Found it on a trip to Hell's Kitchen. Peripatetic geocacher owner for four of the five). 2 have not been found since, and are most likely missing, and not replaced. One a tough hide that we have since found. One right next to the guard shack. (We aroused the suspicion of the guard.) The other we found, but did not have the proper equipment to remove from its hiding spot, especially with the feet of people waiting on line a foot or two away. Several days with three DNFss.

Skippermark Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 We did 155 finds and 30 DNFs one day at GW7. That was really fun, but it was also very tiring. Quote Link to comment
