+Xnekal Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Is there a way to generate archived caches in a PQ or view on the maps as you could before the change. Quote Link to comment

Pup Patrol Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Is there a way to generate archived caches in a PQ or view on the maps as you could before the change. Don't recall archived caches showing up on maps. Not even caches logged as found showed up on the maps once they were archived. B. Quote Link to comment
jholly Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Nope. Archived caches are not part of PQs. Why?? Because the frog does not want you looking for them. They might have been archived at the request of a land owner or land manager. Quote Link to comment

Ah, yes, I always wondered why folks want to search for archived caches. Guess they think they are going to get lucky and score an ammo can. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, if they're lucky, they'll get one of these: But much more likely one of these: Photos/Images of bad cache containers Quote Link to comment
+Xnekal Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Actually the reason that I ask is because I want to know where caches have been. Do I want to put a cache in that area. How did the cache fare with muggles. Did it get a good amount of traffic. Essentially research for putting out caches. And yes the old Premium geocaching map did let you display archived caches.

+oldfriends Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I do not want to search for Archived caches. I find I have to go through several caches to eliminate those. I find it very disheartening to go for a cache only to find it has bee archived. oldfriends Quote Link to comment

Ah, yes, I always wondered why folks want to search for archived caches. Guess they think they are going to get lucky and score an ammo can. Well I didn't care about scoring an ammo can, but I ended up with one (link). I think it's fun seeing if some supposedly long-gone cache is still there or not, I have a few others I'd like to go check on if the opportunity arises. In the case of the one I found, jholly is 100% correct, it had been archived at the request of the MN DNR, but never picked up by the owner. If you're wondering, I did contact the original owner who said he still had plenty of ammo cans and I could do whatever I wanted with the one I picked up (still have it, trying to decide where it should go ~ maybe a tribute to the original owner 'butcho' for all he did in the early days in my state).

AZcachemeister Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 It's not exactly an ammo can, but I did score a 5x5x3 Lock & Lock today. We didn't go there specifically to look for that cache, but were just passing by and noticed the container was still there, and too close to the other caches we were looking for to be active.
