Weirdest item found in a cache?

[Guest jeremy]

What's the weirdest item found in a cache?

 

My weird items have been a house key (did I win a house?) and a roll of toilet paper from someone who, uh, accidentally found the cache and had nothing to share.

 

In my experiences the weirdest items have come from people who accidentally find the cache and have to improvise.

Ummmm, Jeremy - haven't you been reading the boards? Thing Put in a Cache"

 

OK not exactly the same but real similar, and I think you'd get more response with this in the main area...

This isn't really a weird THING but rather a weird ODOR. Everything was in a large ziplock bag but a previous seeker found it in the rain and everything got damp so when the bag was zipped shut and the box closed the damp stuff started mildewing. PEEE-UUUU, what a stink when I found it some days later! I sent an email to the owner and suggested he might check it out and change the stuff in the cache.

A local TV reporter was doing a story on Geocaching and took a camera crew to find my cache. He didn't have anything to leave, so he improvised and left his necktie. Some fellow cacher beat me to it, and I found out that it was there when the reporter sent me e-mail.

We found a few of those emergency water packets, with instructions all over them in Japanese (we are in the USA)....that wasn't TOO unusual, I suppose, but I got to thinking....why do you need instructions on a water pack?? :rolleyes

A cache in Tahoe Donner, California: Not really wierd per se, but the people leaving golf balls in the cache seemed a bit wierd to us. They had picked them up while walking along side a driving range enroute to the nearby cache, located near a small creek. Many signs clearly warned that all golf balls from their facility were the property of the driving range.

On a recent hunt here in Houston, I came across something in a zip-loc bag that I had no idea what it was and would be unable to describe it here. After reading the cache page I found out that it was a bag of molt from an iguana!! Needless to say, I left it for the next "lucky" geocacher!

First cache that we ever did we found toilet paper...the kind with money printed on it..

 

Then we found what we thought to be ear plugs only to discover that they were mini chess pieces put in an ear plug case.

 

A few weeks back it wasn't what we found in the cache but behind it. Cache was cleverly placed inside a bird feader. HIgh and dry but behind it was a magazine of adult nature which was opened to one of the picture pages......... kids found that cache. We were alerted by the looks on their faces...removed the magazine and notified the owner who felt that it was vandilized....and hopefully not by the cachers previous to us...

I'm in Kansas, had a person leave his motel key from Las Vegas, the kind that looks like a credit card. It is all white, no markings, just the magnet strip. Worthless, I tossed it.

But I must say that that makes our recent tick ambush...which was very near to te cache...mild in comparison!!

very disgusting, but it's sad to see someone leave Geocaching because of one isolated incident not even remotely reltated to the cacher.

 

Needless to say when I read the note above it I nearly barfed. way TMI

Huh.. that was interesting.

 

I liked how the cache owner went out there the next day to check on it, and not only that, but he did some investigation to find out how the dog got there, and then tells all on the cache site.

 

A strange circumstance, a responsible owner.

Well today I saw the most interesting thing ever found in a cache. It was a plastic squeaky toy figure of a Nun in black robes reading from the Bible. Nothing wrong really, looked fairly nice except that when you squeezed her she squeaked/squealed. Also made for my funniest moment of the day when a small boy said in all innocence, "Look she squeals when you squeeze her” I could not breath for a couple of minutes I was laughing so hard.

 

This thing is just wrong on so many levels! What on earth would posses someone to manufacture such a thing? Funny, but WRONG.

[+briansnat]

I didn't actually find this, but a metal artificial hip was listed among the contents of one northern NJ cache. Alas, someone else took it before I got there.

[+Shychief]

That's odd - I found a headless human body!

I found a gold man's wedding band in a micro-cache I visited yesterday! None of the written or online loggers claimed to have left it. Interesting...

Ah, the memories of boxing "creatures"... I used to have a boxing dinosaur/Godzilla, and I still have the boxing Amish man. My dog goes nuts when I bring out the Amish. Those things are fun and ironic at the same time; too bad the tabs inside that make their arms punch break so easily.

I went to a cache at a state park, cutelly named, and obviously in a place lots of people would bring there kids, found the cache, and was surprised to say the least to find an empty bottle of VIAGRA in the cache!!! With the instructions still fastened to the bottle!!

At least I got to see what it looked like.

I found (but didn't take) a set of leopard spotted furry handcuffs in "The Monkey Boy Can Fly Cache" in Laguna Niguel, California:

At a cache near Mountain Home, ID we found where a farmer had been dumping bodies. The thing was this was by a canyon rim. Tumbleweeds had built up so that it filled that part of the canyon. We dropped rocks and never hit bottom. Anyway, these bodies were laying on top of the tumbleweed. We identified 3 different kinds of animals and there was no telling what was further down in the tumble weed. Nothing so fresh as the dog at the link in an earlier post. But there was a dog here...

 

After this we did a cache near a feed lot with 150,000 cattle. The smell was worse than the animal pile. But we were hungry and ate burgers later anyway.

I'll have to vote for one of the fine feminine hygeine products manufactured by Kotex found in a Chicago area cache while on business trip.

 

At least it was still in the wrapper.

 

Now where did I park my car???????

[xyzabc]

I've onle been on 2 cache hunts so far, but the strangest item I've seen was a bag of sand and a sea shell from Pensacola Florida (spelling?)

 

The bag had a hole in it and a lot of it's contents were in the bottom of the Ziplock container. I didn't have another bag with me otherwise I would have cleaned it up a bit.

Well a cacher left a cig.and a camel buck and a lighter not really weird just bad.

 

Do any of you think this was weird of me I did 7 caches one sat.and in 5 of the 7 I left 1 pc.of a manger scene and 1 of my 1"Budda's.My wife says I'm goingto hell.

 

I would follow my GPS to the gates of Hell if it pointed that way.

There was a kangaroo scrotum in the "Do you need an engraved invitation? " Cache in Central California. It was in a retail box that said it was indeed from Australia. I had to take it. I will put it in another cache in the future after I have finished laughing. I guess you could say it was truly from down under.

 

 

I'll just sit in the corner and be quiet again...

Weirdest thing I found was in a cache I logged in Vermont recently. The cache container was a large 1 gallon pickle jar. It was empty (except for a log book and a pencil) and filled to the brim with swamp water and the lid tightly screwed on.

 

Apparently some prankster found the cache and thought he'd be funny.

i actually forgot i had it and it was way down the bottom of my bag. I hope it comes in handy for someone, someday and it gives the result desired.
