asbo_dog Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Hi there i have found a cache in carnoustie angus today I have removed and kept the cache with me at home as where it was placed was on ground which is shooting/hunting ground and i fear someone might have gotten hurt or been questioned by someone with no knowledge of geocaching as to why they were there Is it possible to speak to a moderator for uk/scotland or local geocache player to discuss how i can get this back to someone or if its possible to place somewhere again to allow the cache to continue its journey I have no problem placing it somewhere in angus if someone lets me know how i go about it I would just like it to be back in safe hands and not destroyed or lost! I appologise if i have caused any hassle by removing said cache but i would not like to think someone is it at risk from where the cache was placed Feel free to message on this post or email me at killgamer@hotmail.co.uk Thanks David.

+Team I Ricci Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) I think you should go to the Geocache page (check if there a GC code in the cache, or else go to the map and find the location there that matches with your find) and post a log about this. Probably the owner will contact you. Edited October 26, 2014 by DaRk_ViVi Quote Link to comment
+Gackt Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Is the land you found the cache placed on your own? If so the GAGB could advise you. Contact details via this page: http://gagb.co.uk/landowner_contact_page.php Quote Link to comment
+wmpastor Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 In the US there are loads of caches on hunting land. I myself found one. I wore bright yellow as advised. Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I've asked on Facebook for a UK reviewer to look at this thread, I think someone will be in touch. Quote Link to comment
asbo_dog Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thanks for the replies up to now guys After delibiration with my father in law , he said it should be okay to put the cache back in place but for people to be aware of what may be happening in that area I have found which cache it is here is the link http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC3HKEA_big-gates It will be placed back as soon as i can i would still like to speak to backmuir who placed it or someone who is a mod for this area/region to see if we can move it anywhere near the area maybe across the road or likewise Thanks Quote Link to comment

The Reviewer dealing with this would appear to be Lorgadh , click on the name in their log on the cache page and you can send an email via the site.

+Lorgadh Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I've been in contact with the OP and made Backmuir aware of this thread. Hopefully they will all be in contact soon. Quote Link to comment
+Big Wolf Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 For the avoidance of doubt the cache is within a few feet of a main road and therefore there should be no concerns as to anyone's safety which is of course paramount. The red dot in the picture below is a reasonable estimation as to its location..... Quote Link to comment
asbo_dog Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Thanks for the replies. The picture shown above is the correct gates but the cache wasnt near the red dot it was about 5.5ft higher up and on the inside of the gates and there is activity posts on the cache's log that said people have been rolling under the gates to find it which is why we were concerned I have spoken with backmuir and will replace cache on the roadside of the fence Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Thanks for the replies. You get to log a find on the cache now Quote Link to comment

+Bear and Ragged Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 The question has to be... Is that a cacher in the Google picture? Quote Link to comment
