+rizzler Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) Hello Guys. Im going to start of this topic with one image. What would you do if you came to a location and all you could find was this item? would you think the cache was destroyed cause there is no log ?? do read on if you cant se anyting wrong here. Last week i was at a convetion and me and my friend who love geocaching wanted to place our on cache. at the convention they where giving out these pens, what made them so speciall was the way you could turn them into a smart geocache. This is a regular pen. where the paper is was erlier commercial for the company who made the pens. i removed that paper and replaced it with a blank sheet. If you let go of it the paper will roll back into the pen by it's own. This one will soon be placed somewhere in the world, and now my fellow cachers i wanted to hear, what do you think of this invention? =) Edited June 28, 2010 by rizzler Quote

Sorry for the duplicate post above. Quote
+Knight2000 Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 I've found caches like that. I made a pen cache before I found one too. (I never placed it.) Eventually it will get taken or tossed. I love the outside the box thinking! I doubt that is water proof. Most pens are not. Sorry for the duplicate post above. It doesn't need to be. Quote

+Harry Dolphin Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 The evil one had a strip of velcro nearby... Quote
+dorqie Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 there is a cache in my area in a pen just like that. the pen is actually tied to a rock with fishing line, that way it doesn't get CITO'd Quote
knowschad Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 I've found caches like that. I made a pen cache before I found one too. (I never placed it.)Ditto. I've only found one, but before I found it, I had the idea and worked up a prototype, but never placed it. This is the type of pen that I used, though... you couldn't see the log: The cache that I found that used that same concept did eventually have the container removed by someone thinking they were cleaning up after a muggle-job.

+slowdownracer Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 How weird!!! A cache in a pen, and you still have to BYOP - bring your own pen - so you can sign the log. Quite bizarre. Quote

The retracting mechanism tends to break fairy easily and quickly. Quote
+briansnat Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Heard of caches like this. One was a pen on a string tied to a bulletin board and the log was in the pen. Quote
+popokiiti Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Found a couple like this - one we nearly CITO'd. Quote
+atmospherium Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 I would like to see a video of someone trying to sign the log in the pen with the pen. It would be like a small child trying to put their arm into their sleeve, and they keep going around in circles chasing their sleeve. Quote

All caches need not be waterproof. I would like to see a video of someone trying to sign the log in the pen with the pen.

+buttaskotch Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Not a new cache type, have seen it before. An evil hide, be careful on placement, it may be CITO'd out by cachers or muggles. Quote
