CookieTeam Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 What is a suitable reward to put in a cache for the first person who finds the cache? I have heard of FTF certificates, but are these actual paper documents, or virtual? Quote Link to comment
+J the Goat Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I've never seen one, however I know that some people print them out and put them in the cache. Since GC.com doesn't officially recognize FTF as anything, you won't find anything official on the site. The general consensus here is that the blank log is the prize that the FTF hunters are after. Anything after that is just extra, and as a matter of fact, many FTFers leave the prize for the next person to grab. Put in whatever you please, it'll be good enough Quote Link to comment
+abiherts Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I believe you can buy them from places such as eBay or I've heard of people designing their own. If you have plenty to spend then you can buy FTF coins. A good way to look at it is: what would you like to find in a cache as a reward if you were first to find? Quote Link to comment

+dfx Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 around here you can often find $1 or $2 as FTF prize, either as cash or in form of some kind of gift certificate (starbucks etc). Quote Link to comment
+SeekerOfTheWay Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 In 2 of my caches i left a buck (one was the FTF prize from another cache i got). The others i didn't leave any FTF prize because i didn't have any cash around. i think an empty log and bragging rights are enough. The $1 was more of a token. A pre-paid VISA card would be great if you're hiding near me. Quote Link to comment
CookieTeam Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Thanks folks, just want to be sure not to fall short of expectations! Quote Link to comment
sdarken Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Don't be concerned about a First to Find prize. Unless your area is much different to mine, there will be no expectation that the cache will contain a prize. Being first to sign the log is a big reward in itself to many people. A good container and an interesting hide location wold be a good reward for everyone else. Quote Link to comment
