+Jayeffel Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Wondering how to locate a cache's coordinates when all you have is a name of the cache, okay one I am thinking of I know the state also. Without going to the map of the state and looking for all caches in the state is there way to to do that? It is very unlikely I will endeavor to find the one in mind. Edit: Maybe I asked too quickly. I found out by going to the involved state under Search and looking through the lists a cache by name only can be found. I would delete the question but maybe someone can gain by it remaining here. Still very much unlikely I will look for it, 102 .7 miles from home , 2 1/2 - 3 hrs drive one way, yes there many caches along the route to and fro. But that cache does give ideas for a cache of my own. The idea came from a picture taken of the cache but the cache name only was given. A little research never hurts, even on a late Saturday afternoon. BTW I have more caches this month than most months last year. Weather sure helps!

+HHL Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Just enter the name in the search bar. https://www.geocaching.com/play/search#Content Or set a filter and jot down the cache's name into the field “Geocache name contains”. Edited January 21, 2023 by HHL Quote Link to comment

+barefootjeff Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Also in the search filters there's a Cache name contains field: Quote Link to comment

Thanks "To Cache a Cacher "as written, I tried various capital letters. Using search filters and the State (Delaware) and part of the cache name (To Catch) I found a lot of caches and one other one with that name - in part- but not in Delaware. 1 Quote Link to comment

+barefootjeff Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Assuming it's "Catch" rather than "Cache", I tried this: which returned one hit: Is that the one you're looking for? Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 To Catch the Cacher gives a result of 8 caches: https://www.geocaching.com/play/results/?cn=To+Catch+a+Cacher&hf=1&nfb=HHL&ho=1&asc=true&sort=distance Quote Link to comment

Missed the spelling error! Edited January 21, 2023 by Jayeffel Quote Link to comment
