+TheLoneWanderer Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 While hiking around other caches, I've come across some items that I've found could also be used as swag. I picked up a few golf balls near a lake, which would be fun if the cacher plays golf, a reflector that clips onto bicycle spokes, and a floater for a fishing line. Instead of tossing the useful items, I've currently added them along to the toys in my swag collection Quote Link to comment
+Cptnodegard Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 A friend of mine who's not a cacher but for some reason joins me in finding caches sometimes picked up a 20NOK (about $3,5 USD) coin during the first time he joined me. I joked saying he's probably the first person ever to actually make money geocaching. Quote Link to comment
+tzipora Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I found some erm..."glassware" and a lighter while doing a CITO. I'm not into that kind of thing, but I do have some friends who were pretty happy to receive my swag. Quote Link to comment

+bafl01 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I posted this on a "you found what near a cache" thread. I now own a pick axe that was abandoned in a giant wash area. Quote Link to comment
+roziecakes Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Oh yes! This happens often. In fact, we've found several containers that have made excellent caches. One we placed today in fact. Has a great seal. Who wants to be FTF? Quote Link to comment
Andronicus Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I found a nice right handed work glove. A couple of screw drivers. Quote Link to comment
+tomfuller & Quill Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 In 2006 I CITO'd a cylinder that had contained a Kahlua bottle. It had a small LED light in the bottom. I attached a solar light and put it out as a cache named "Is the Light On?" The top is a little hard to get off, but it has served well as a cache for over 3 years. Quote Link to comment
