I found this "Nonpublished" cache, hidden for me by a fellow cacher I did a favor for.

 

(hope the pic shows up)

 

Any how it was a cammo painted styrofoam ice chest loaded with Sam Adams beer. He gave me the coords at a CITO event we all attended. NICE!

I like trackables, my son likes the McToys. Really, they make his day. Although we found a transformer the other day, and he was just as excited as he was on Christmas morning.

 

I found one with my 10 year old son that had a couple plastic roaches on top of everything. He loved it (after almost screaming like a girl when he first opened it.) Guess what he took.

I just like reading the logs and seeing how far the dates go back. But I do like to find ones with swag as they make it more fun.

Trackables, and if it's a cache way out of the way, a pocket poncho or batteries, or first aid kit, etc., is nice to find. I leave it of course, but it's cool to know people think about that stuff when their caches is well off the beaten path. Someday I bet one of those well thought items will save me. I actually plan to carry some snake bite kits to leave in caches that are in snakey areas.

I like finding the unexpected! I looked hard for a cache near a creek bed and finally found it. When I opened the lid of the ammo box, it was filled with plastic Easter eggs. I started laughing and couldn't stop. I was all alone in the woods and I was opening every egg to find the silly log to sign. I loved it! B)

Trackables. I really, really like finding trackables and moving them on. I also like finding unactivated trackables and pathtags.

 

As far as pure swag items- carabiners. No clue why. I ALWAYS grab the carabiner. I don't care if they aren't climbing-grade genuine articles, they will be traded and put in the cache bag.

Living in brooklyn, I would to find a cache that 1) was not wet and to messy, since my kids always choose the swag, I would rather not have to detox it much. 2) even trade, most of the stuff we seem to find are shirt buttons, pencil sharpeners and erasors. We leave good carbineer keychains.

 

Leave the Cache better stocked then before we found it.

unopened snickers bars...

 

unexpired gift certificates to chilis...

 

keys to a new porshe parked nearby...

We found a pack of gum recently, I found a dog bone (left by muggle). I always trade these things out ASAP.

 

Here in Alberta, gift certificates are not allowed to expire. Let's face it, expiring gift certificates is realy just fraud. How many Porshes have you found?

1. Trackables, especially geocoins. I am a geocoin addict. :P

2. Keychains/souvenirs from far away lands

3. Useful things, like CITO garbage bags, band-aids, batteries, compasses or a rain poncho, etc.

I also like patches and when i found a type of bug in a cache trackable bug I was really happy
