October.Muffins Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Ok so I've seen a topic on the worst swag that you have found in a geocache but what about the best swag that you have found in a geocache? Quote Link to comment
+Pinki24 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I found some stones that had been painted in Aboriginal style paintings. They were so cool and different. Quote Link to comment
+T.D.M.22 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Cash. Canadian bills are plastic, so they won't get soggy. But I like stuff people made, actual things (not business cards) with their geo names. Other than that stuff, I don't take swag. Quote Link to comment
+crazypig88 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) unopened blister packed safety goggles. They worked quite well Edited February 15, 2015 by crazypig88 Quote Link to comment
+ByronForestPreserve Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Best thing I ever took out of a cache was a re-usable nylon shopping bag that could be zipped compactly into itself. I've used it as my CITO bag when caching ever since. Quote Link to comment

+wmpastor Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Cash. Canadian bills are plastic, so they won't get soggy. But I like stuff people made, actual things (not business cards) with their geo names. Other than that stuff, I don't take swag. I like cash too. The problem is that if I see a crisp (or soggy) $1.00 bill, in order to take if i'm supposed to leave $1.10 in the cache! It's like the discussion of 10-year-old caches. Everyone has been trading even or up for 10 years (right?), so now there is a 2.0 carat diamond among the swag. I'd love to take it - but I don't have a spare 2.1 carat diamond to leave behind.

There's a shiny new United Arab Emirates 1 Dirham coin sitting on my desk in front of me. Its worth about 27 cents US, but is probably something that isn't often seen in a cache in the U.S. so it may have more "value" to some than a couple of U.S. quarters. Quote Link to comment
awdemuth Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Batteries in a very long night cache. I traded my two dead Eneloops (with a piece of duct tape around them that said "discharged") for a much needed pair of fresh generic heavy duty AAs. Beyond that, I rarely ever even look at the swag.

+narcissa Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 A new battery for our garage door opener. No really, it's a weird size battery. Quote Link to comment
+jangirl Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Being new I can only say a lot of what I have found has been toys.I have never taken anything but I always leave something nicer then whats there. If it toys then we leave nicer toys. If its trinkets and such I will leave tool sets and such or nice trinkets to keep it interesting and fun for others. I told my kids that if you take something to leave somthing of greater value. And my grandaughter found a rubber bracelet from PCB. She took it however she choose 2 nice gifts to give. I was proud of her choices. In this same cache was a coupon for 2 free dinners at a nice local restaurant( the best gift I've yet to see in a cache). We left it for someone else. If everyone leaves something interesting it keeps it fun and even more interesting. Quote Link to comment
+KatnissRue Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Let's see here… I've come across money a couple of times, a cassette tape of songs from the show Friends, band aids and insect repellent wipes, a CD, and a very expensive toy which I took for my younger brother.
