Anyone say geopile?

From the Cache Listing Requirements / Guidelines: Caches that are buried. If a shovel, trowel or other "pointy" object is used to dig, whether in order to hide or to find the cache, then it is not appropriate.

 

Could this cache be described as COVERED by a thin layer of stones instead. I don't think this is a clear guideline violation.

Unless you dug the hole to hide it under the stones.

geopile!

I hate rock hides. However more times than not, there is a logical location that only one rock needs to be lifted. Observe carefully and then make your move.

If the reviewer doesn't archive it, perhaps he should be fired!

I didn't find that particular cache, but I did find a cache a little bit away by the same owner, etc. That cache wasn't buried. No shovel or trowel was used to hide it or find it. IMO, "covered with a thin layer of rocks" is not buried. As firenice said, as long as you didn't dig a hole to bury it under the stones it's cool.

I think all the rock pile caches that I can't find should be illegal.

Did a cache maintanence hike to put some more rocks on top of one of my caches. Now is it too many rocks or too far of a hike. go look for it and let me know what you think I should do.

Once I found a cache buried under a pointy bush....well...actually it was IN the pointy bush.

But it should be illegal to do that too.

I, for one, having read this post do not think this is illegal, Using your hands to uncover a cache is NOT illegal since your hands should NOT be pointy (if they are, I wouldn't want to shake hands with you!)

 

Just my 2 cents worth (which is about what my house is worth)

Hi, it's rather common in these parts to place rocks like that, sorry that doesn't make it illegal.

[+bafl01]

mad bomber knows the rules through and through and has helped archive caches for being burried with a tool before. no concern. You should probably get used to a thin layer of rocks

Illegal? Geocaching doesn't have laws.
