Delons Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 We went back to look on 2 of our caches, and we could not find them, but they were found the next day! What a fail! Quote Link to comment

+Sharks-N-Beans Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 This one made me laugh. Most likely it got moved. Quote Link to comment
+Mr. Wilson & a Mt. Goat Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I've had that happen to me as well, it ended up being in some bushes about 7ft from the original hiding spot. Quote Link to comment
+GrateBear Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 That happened to me once. Went to maintain it and took about 5 minutes to find it. I was starting to think I should have downloaded the coords for it Quote Link to comment
+The_Incredibles_ Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 LOL, nearly happened to me once. Digging around in the ivy, that's migration, baby! Quote Link to comment
ao318 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Same here. Had to email the previous finder for help. Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Heck I just replaced my "missing" ammo can with a lock and lock. And that same day, someone logged find, so emailed and asked what they found......>>>> the ammo can. So now I get to go back, and clean up the "throwdown" lock and lock and make another attempt finding my own cache. Too bad it's one of those really hard locate 50mm ammo cans Quote Link to comment

+RhinoInAToga Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Oooh yup I've done that. It was our second hide, & I hid it well. So well that when I went back for the first maintenance run I couldn't find it! While I was laughing at myself and thinking, "no wonder nobody else can either.." my stepson found it. You've never heard such gloating .. ha Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 When you reach my age one of the joys is going with a friend to find a cache I have already found and being unable to locate it. Plus meeting strangers (who you already been introduced to) is always fun. Quote Link to comment

+WarNinjas Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I just found one that someone had posted a DNF on. The CO said he checked and it was missing and placed a new container with a fresh log. I looked and seen way up in the tree a container and wondered how I would get to it. I ended up grabbing it and the log had all the old signatures. I'm guessing someone put it back up further then anyone expected. There were muggles about so I didn't look for the replacement one. -WarNinjas Quote Link to comment
jholly Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 We went back to look on 2 of our caches, and we could not find them, but they were found the next day! What a fail! Don't forget to log a DNF so the CO knows it might be missing. Oh, wait, never mind. Quote Link to comment

Don't forget to log a DNF so the CO knows it might be missing. Oh, wait, never mind. I have had that happen to me before too and in fact I have gone twice looking for it and have not been able to find this one cache in particular but others are still finding it. I am not sure whether I should be confused or just laughing at myself about this cache. Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Yep. I've had to tell multiple cache owners where their caches were because I was the last person to find them. Cache migration had taken its toll, and they had DNFed their own caches. Quote Link to comment
+BMndFul Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Just to stir the pot a bit.... another point for LPC, they don't seem to migrate around parking lots. Quote Link to comment
+The_Incredibles_ Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Just to stir the pot a bit.... another point for LPC, they don't seem to migrate around parking lots. Not necessarily true. There's one LPC here that migrated several lamps over. Quote Link to comment

+hzoi Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 When one of our caches started getting DNF logs, we went back and looked around. Couldn't find it, so we replaced it. Then we started getting logs about how the cache needed maintenance. A new cache? The heck? It finally clicked when we got a log saying that they had found two caches, one new, one broken. Had to ask them where the old one was; it had migrated about 30-40 feet away. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I could not find one of mine for 2 years while others kept racking up finds. It had been re-hidden about 10 feet away in a sneaky place - I never intended it to be that hard. Quote Link to comment
+DazeDnFamily Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 We moved from the area we started caching in a few months ago. Cachers in the group we were in adopted all of the hides that needed to be adopted. One of them was a pretty tough hide, in an natural hiding place, several feet off the ground. We got a note from our adopter not too long ago that a woodpecker had taken up residence in our hide site, and dumped our container on the ground outside. LOL Does that count as being muggled?

You know, it's against the guidelines to place a cache on private property. Quote Link to comment
