+DRJDSmith Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I am wanting to find the oldest cache in each county of my home state of Ohio. Is there a way to search or filter for each county's oldest cache? Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Do you mean the oldest active cache? Several of the caches on the List which HHL linked to are now archived. This is pretty easy in GSAK. As one of the Community Volunteer Reviewers for Ohio, I maintain a complete database of all active caches in the State. I can update the counties where the listed cache is archived. 2 Quote Link to comment
+DRJDSmith Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 I also did the same search that HHL did and found the same result. I did notice that several of the caches were achieved. Keystone, yes, I am referring to the oldest active cache in each county. Is there a way you can send me a list of those or attach a link to this post? Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 For the archived caches on the bookmark list, here are the current oldest active caches in those counties: Carroll County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCG78F_caleb-caits-cache Clinton County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCWYTY_where-in-the-shell-is-it Crawford County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCNFEC_testicle-festival Delaware County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC403_creaking-tree-hidden-cache Fulton County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCGGRP_right-side-of-the-tracks Gallia County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCR7FZ_slam-this-cache Greene County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCPKJC_shstevenson-cemetery Hocking County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCTX2R_the-pad Huron County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCPEPC_fitchville-rest Jackson County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCV7BZ_horeb-cemetery Mercer County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC1KNNE_a-mighty-great-place Morrow County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC14ZKH_reunion Summit County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCE5F8_re-gorge-itated Tuscarawas County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCKEC0_in-honor-of-grandpa Vinton County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCJRR8_moonville-tunnel-cache-project Wyandot County: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCKDME_this-is-your-mission 1 2 Quote Link to comment

JeepGPS Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I am looking for the same thing, albeit for Michigan. And specifically for Oakland County. I am watching a challenge cache that requires cachers to have found at least 5 of the 7 oldest caches in the county. Unfortunately some of these vintage caches get archived and the next oldest gets added to the list. So now I am wondering what the next oldest caches would be. And while I'm here...is there a way to search caches by a state? I recall there used to be a way to do this but I don't recall how. Or maybe that function has disappeared? Specifically, I'm trying to find the oldest active caches in Michigan. Quote Link to comment

I tried sorting by placed date before but apparently that's a premium member feature? Anyway, I bookmarked your link for future reference. Quote Link to comment

Now that's quite a dataset! Looking through this I realize I have found all 28 cached that you have pictured here. And my own cache is the 13th oldest in the county. Thanks for all the info!
