+WaffleOnABike Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Someone that I know, wants to start their own cache. I was curious what YOU all thought is cool to find in a cache? I might be making a little list so other fellow cachers can always keep in mind what good swag is. So what do YOU like to find? What are good items for a cache? Quote Link to comment

+WaffleOnABike Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Thanks! I think some caches I come across are just full of nasty, old, crappy items like wrappers, and old sponges. I want to make sure that when placing, taking, or trading swag, I at least put something in others can enjoy! -Waffle Quote Link to comment

If it never would have been, it just might be that it really is junk. Quote Link to comment

A cache that is maintained by its owner, and is regularly cleaned up, with the garbage that invariably ends up in it removed. B. Quote Link to comment
+DragonsWest Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 When trying to flog some of my old ones, I found a only get a buck or two for used CDs. Maybe put some of those in there, if you have an ammo box (to keep weather out and has room.) Quote Link to comment
